Jesus, Shemp. It's the *same evidence*. Any recital of Clinton's policies is going to list the same ones. What they add up to is *centrism*-- neither all conservative nor all liberal, but a mixture, so they're in the, you know, center. Nobody's saying he didn't take some relatively conservative positions, but he also took some relatively liberal positions. Have you never heard of the DLC? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democratic_Leadership_Council Notice who was the first chair of the DLC.
