What did liberals do that was so offensive to the Republican party? | |
I’ll tell you what they did. | |
Liberals got women the right to vote. | |
Liberals got African-Americans the right to vote. | |
Liberals created Social Security and lifted millions of elderly people out of poverty. | |
Liberals ended segregation. | |
Liberals passed the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act. | |
Liberals created Medicare. | |
Liberals passed the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act. | |
What did conservatives do? | |
They opposed them on every one of those things — every one. | |
So when you try to hurl that label at my feet, | |
‘Liberal,’ | |
As if it were something to be ashamed of, | |
Something dirty, | |
Something to run away from, | |
It won’t work, Senator. | |
Because I will pick up that label and I will wear it as a badge of honor. | |
