depends on what you're liberal or conservative about.

liberal republicans, with all due respect, is the worst of both worlds. That is, if you're highly aggressive in foreign policy (chickenhawk), yet support big government bureaucracies such as homeland of insecurity to "protect" us. Basically, these people are what's wrong with America. The socially liberal democrats at least are on the right track knowing that we're depleting the treasury and this charade of giving people IOU nothings is coming to an abrupt end.

Fail fail fail.

I think that most people who define themselves as "liberal republicans" really mean that they are socially moderate and fiscally conservative. They like to identify with the apparent popularity of liberalism (in the blanket sense) but don't want to seem brainless. It sounds great but I don't think that it works very well. It could probably be best described as being a cheap liberal. To be a real liberal, you have to be willing to bear ridiculous taxes. If you aren't willing to do that, you aren't very liberal.

I'm what you call a "South Park Republican." Trey Parker was quoted as saying "We hate conservatives, but we really f*cking hate liberals." It's an endorsement of a common-sense, moderate approach to legislation rather than a party based approach. Truth has to be in the middle of an argument and not at the extremes.

Yes, thanks.

Well I am liberal but not that liberal... I am very very fiscal conservative, but I am pro-choice(even if I think is wrong) and things like that...

Hmmm, I like that, i have extreme social conservatives

These are, in part, just labels that the powers that be have placed upon us for the purpose of confusing us all, getting at each other's throats while the politicians continue to rape the wealth of the Republic for their own selfish benefits. Sure their are difference between conservative thought and liberal thought but when you stop to think about it both ideologies are necessary to make a democracy work, a kind of system of checks and balances, as it were. Consider what kind of nation it would be if only one form of thought was permitted, either one.

What makes me sad is to see how all these politicians. who are no more than thieves, degenerates, charlatans and mountebanks, have turned the American people against each other. Today the two party system isn't two party at all , it is simply two factions of the same approach to corporatism.

My friends today nothing is more true than what Ben Franklin said over 200 years ago:
"We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately"
