Isn?t being Liberal or Conservative based on some specific issues? So one issue at a time I can bet that not all liberals or conservatives agree to everything that their side stands for or is supposed to stand for. The result they are labeled moderate. So what is moderate? Doesn?t it mean agreeing to some liberal as well as conservative issues? As for Ted Kennedy and George Bush, they are two sides of the river that never meets? you know what I mean :)
