But the left and right aren't equivocal. Are you suggesting otherwise?
They are, just ask people who claim to be liberal or conservative why they are. Most will answer something that isn't in the ideology or something inaccurate. Or they pick out one outlying idea and go with that, ignoring the base of the party's ideology. I can't talk politics with people because very few people know and understand politics, let alone the history of the parties. Somewhere along the way, both parties flipped a 180 and are now out in wonderland somewhere.
I often wonder why anyone would align with either party because I find it impossible to agree with one single party's ideology 100% of the time. I dislike both parties, but favor the right since they align with my thoughts on the economy and the role of gov't. I like how the right wants smaller gov't. and to reign in welfare spending. I like nothing about the left, they seem two-faced. They pretend to stand for equality and civil liberties, but all we have seen over the last 8 years were liberties being eroded and bad behavior rewarded. Obama did a very good job at the old bait-n-switch routine. I'm still waiting for any talking point he ran on in 2008 to come to fruition. What a disappointing liar.
They both push their own agendas with the same tanacity (my way or the highway), so in that they are equal.
