To make it a dirty word for a long time. >> my opponents views on defense are the litany of the liberal left. >> how do you -- >> i prefer the word progressive. a real american meaning. >> are you the most liberal president in history? >> probably not. the truth when you look at some of my policies, in a lot of ways, richard nixon was more liberal than i was. >> joining me now is democratic pollster, managing director of purple strategies, and a senior fellow, who is also more liberal than nixon...
