We should be discussing both and then some. Kerry will spend at least as much and more likely more than Bush and will raise taxes to do it. My guess is that the deficits under Kerry will be about equal to Bush's current, but who the hell knows. In any event, big spending + hire taxes = liberal. Math is hard, but that equation is easy.
I brought up the other items because he I think they make him a liberal as well. This will sound trite and is an over simplification, but anyone who believes that government is better suited to solve an individuals problems than the individual is a liberal.
Socially, he is a liberal, but I agree with him on some of the social issues (e.g, gay marriage).
