There is theory and there is practice. Do you believe that those politicians who have aligned themselves with what are regarded as right of center positions effectively represent the principles they swore to espouse? Getting rid of big government, for example? I don't mean to suggest that politicians who align themselves with the left are any better at being truly effective representatives. The opposite, in fact. They are all creatures of the same swamp. I never understand why people are so quick to descend into a "my side is good and your side is bad" debate, when in fact the real problem is that professional politicians and their evil guilds, the political parties, are screwing the American public in a truly bi-partisan fashion.Similarly if a politician says:
"Society needs to help the weak and the old and the sick. Nobody should be left behind" - we pretty much know where he, or she, stands.
Okay, let me ask you something straight up... Do you believe that conservative right-wingers actually don't want to help the weak, old and sick and want to leave people behind?
I can assure you, this is a sign you may have become brainwashed. Somewhere, at some point, someone has convinced you that the Conservative right is something it is not... never has been, never will be.
It is that we have a different approach to solving the problems. We believe our way works best. You can certainly disagree and we can have a debate about our ideas versus your ideas... but to try and claim that you have the exclusive on helping people and we're only concerned with ourselves, is quite the insult.
