Excerpt
Brokaw: Let me ask you about social and domestic issues. Your colleague from Massachusetts, Senator Ted Kennedy, says that he’s proud to be a liberal. Are you proud to be a liberal?
Kerry: That depends on what the issue is, Tom. I’ve always hated labels. And I don’t abide by labels. You know, I’m an ex-prosecutor. I’ve sent people to jail for the rest of their life. I’ve busted up the number-two organized crime figures’ organization in New England. What does that make me? I led the fight to put 100,000 cops on the streets of America. What does that make me?
Brokaw: But you don’t deny your liberal credentials.
Kerry: On certain issues, I’m a liberal, Tom. On certain issues I’m a conservative.
