But the point is accurate: In rallying the traditional Democratic base, Kerry used the traditional Socialist big-government perspective, trying to out-Bush Bush, responding to Bush's prescription entitlement with a comprehensive health care entitlement etc. In attacking Bush's religion-based social engineering, deficit spending, attacks on the ninth ammendment and so on, Kerry trotted out a quintessentially American, individualist perspective. Both candidates ran on incoherent, internally self-excluding agendas. Bush didn't articulate either side of his agenda; Kerry articulated both.
