Often liberals refuse to admit that they are liberals, in the hoping of appearing more reasonable. Hillary Clinton refused to admit in a presidential debate in 2007 that she is a liberal. Similarly, Michael Dukakis refused for a while to admit that he was a liberal during the 1988 presidential campaign, however he later declared himself to be a liberal, only in the sense that President Harry Truman, who served 40 years earlier, was a liberal.
