Socialist. Liberal. Progressive. Left of Center but not quite Progressive. Centrist. Right of center but not quite conservative. Conservative. Neo-Con. Satan. Bushie. Give it a rest. These labels are meaningless, except Bushie. (Rhymes with Tushie.) It's what people actually do that matters, not what we choose to call them. I have noticed that Republicans have nasty names for everything they don't like, which is just about everything. They have tried to good words into bad words. Just listen to Rush Limbaugh for ten seconds. The one thing they have not done is anything. My list of Republicans I trust is longer than Bush's list of accomplishments. (My list includes Abraham Lincoln.) Obama should choose people with expertise. You know, people who have real credentials, real knowledge, and real ability. How about looking at people's actual qualifications and actual records, not their ideological name tags.
