Crypto-liberal

TAPPED: "like Al Gore before him, John Kerry has finally set his presidential hopes aside. And, like Gore before him, he's using the occasion of their demise as a chance to boldly undertake more clearly liberal actions than he might otherwise have done. "

Doesn't this justify the right-wing trope that these politicans can't be trusted -- that they may seem moderate while campaigning, but their secret selves are anything but? And therefore, unless you're an unusually good panderer like W.J. Clinton, you should campaign more balls-out?
