Senator Clinton now calls herself a "Progressive Democrat" even though she is seen here addressing the "Liberal Party of New York State" founded in 1944 as an alternative to the "American Labor Party" (Socialist Party) which favors Abortion Rights, more spending on Education and Nationalized Health Care. Like her husband, Hillary Clinton will say whatever is politically expedient at the time at any forum she addresses.
At last nights "Democratic YouTube Talkie" a California voter asked Senator Clinton how she would define the word Liberal? Would you use the word to describe yourself?
Senator Clinton replied, "You know, it is a word that originally meant that you were for freedom to achieve, that you were willing to stand against big power and on behalf of the individual. Unfortunately in the last 30-40 years, it has been turned up on its head and its been made to seem as though its a word that describes big government, totally contrary to what its meaning was in the 19th or 20th centuries. I prefer the word Progressive...I consider myself a modern progressive...so I consider myself a proud modern American Progressive..."
The Liberal Group "Americans For Democratic Action" gave Senator Clinton a 95% Liberal Quotient in 2006, one of the highest in the Senate.
