Not because the word Liberal has been Demonified by the Right -Wing reactionary media but for another reason. Only in the United States does the word Liberal have a Progressive or Left- Wing Connotation. In fact many Right Wing Parties around the world such as Australia and Japan are indeed the Liberal Party. Colombia's Liberal Party is also Conservative even though it belongs to Socialist International. The current President of Colombia Uribe who is about Conservative as one can get was a life long member of the Liberal Party until his first run for President. Even then he won as the "Independent Liberal" candidate although he is now just an Independent.
