McCain and Romney exchange the ultimate insult

What is the ultimate insult? The L word.

No, not lesbian, you pervert. Liberal.

Romney:

“If you ask people, ‘Look at the three things Senator McCain has done as a senator,’ if you want that kind of a liberal Democratic course as president, then you can vote for him. But those three pieces of legislation, those aren’t conservative, those aren’t Republican, those are not the kind of leadership that we need as we go forward.”

McCain:

“The truth is, Mitt Romney was a liberal governor of Massachusetts who raised taxes, imposed with Ted Kennedy a big government mandate health care plan that is now a quarter of a billion dollars in the red, and managed his state’s economy incompetently, leaving Massachusetts with less job growth than 46 other states.”

Why is "liberal" such an insult? Silly! Because it means "open to new behavior or opinions; favorable to or respectful of individual rights and freedoms; and favoring maximum individual liberty in political and social reform," of course. Would you want to be accused of such lunacy?

Lunacy. Now there's a good L word.
