  • You don’t have to be a liberal to be OK with pre-Bush 2 tax rates.
  • You don’t have to be a liberal to resist wasteful Defense spending levels and to see the wisdom of staying out of wars.
  • You don’t have to be a liberal to live with a health care system many Republicans endorsed two decades ago.
  • You don’t have to be a liberal to practice a productive legislative relationship with the other party.
  • You don’t have to be a liberal to allow that at least some regulation is essential for a trustworthy business environment.
  • You don’t have to be a liberal to quit gratuitously insulting minorities and women.
  • You don’t have to be a liberal to quit using sneaky ways to circumvent democratically representative voting results.
  • You don’t have to be a liberal to use your small-state Senate seat responsibly.
  • You don’t have to be a liberal to have a gun policy that respects Second Amendment rights, but isn’t written by the firearms industry.
  • You don’t have to be a liberal to conserve our natural resources.
