Here's the headline from Gallup:
Conservatives Maintain Edge as Top Ideological Group
Ridiculous.
David Sirota eviscerated this idiocy years ago:
- Conservatives have spent the last 30 years turning liberal into a 4-letter word. We ID as Progressive!
- Conservativs have spent the last 10 years driving all of the moderates out of the Republican Party
You see a 40% Conservative ID. I see a 60% Progressive ID.
On every issue the American people are overwhelmingly PROGRESSIVE, but have been trained to equate the word "liberal" with "baby-killing, pot-smoking, flag-burning, traitor".
The driving question for me is why Liberals haven't spent the last 30 years training the American people to equate the word "conservative" with "slave-trading, racist, un-American, murderer".
There's clearly work to do.
