It's called marketing.
Progressive has a better ring to it than liberal.
Liberal is also not very accurate. Most of our 'liberals' in this country would be considered conservatives in most of Europe. Progressive or moderate makes more sense for most of us. There are a few true leftist out there but not many.
Just as conservative doesn't really fit for many on the right. Fundamentalist might be a better fit.
kind of like raging reactionaries calling themselves 'conservative' and saying they're for 'small goverment' while at the same time asking government to insert itself into the most personal business of individuals?
that type of marketing?
or the type of marketing where someone calls themselves a small government conservative, votes for tax cuts for rich people, supports deficit spending on unnecessary wars without so much as a word... but then lose their minds when the executive branch changes hands and suddenly claim 'fiscal responsibility'?
that kind of marketing?
Or the type of marketing where the ones who call themselves conservatives and deride any kind of government safety net or welfare system, all the while collecting every kind of welfare they can get their hands on.
Or the ones who claim FEMA goes to undeserving folks who shouldn't live in disaster areas, then boo hoo when disaster hits their area.... then FEMA moves too slowly.
Or the ones who claim they are able to live their lives completely without government intrusion....when every product they consume, every road they drive on, every utility and service they use and depend on had government involvement in some form or another.
Buyer beware with the type of marketing done by the Hypocrite Party.
Who pays for the government that builds the roads, runs FEMA,etc. by the way most utilities are privately owned not government..?
Explain where the revenue comes from that runs the government???
