Where as conservatives want to be allowed to make money to give to the causes that they champion.Panamarednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-73799201872886821132012-01-14T14:38:26.526-05:002012-01-14T14:38:26.526-05:00But was it truly a rainbow or perhaps steelhead? ;...But was it truly a rainbow or perhaps steelhead? ;)JFPnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-355937524300464222012-01-14T11:55:11.143-05:002012-01-14T11:55:11.143-05:00I really don't want to know what "rainbow...I really don't want to know what "rainbow trout" would be a euphemism for to Maddow ...Cincinnatushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10424218376882403880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-20650612140609115192012-01-14T11:37:59.811-05:002012-01-14T11:37:59.811-05:00docjim,

People (especially the lackwits in MiniTru) like nice, tidy labels and categories: this or that person is "conservative" or "progressive".<br /><br />The problem is that people defy easy categorization. Hence, one can find "right wingers" who are pro-abortion, anti-gun, pro-gay marriage, etc. Makes for some heated arguments.<br /><br />Another problem is that most people aren't rabid on any position. Hence, they may consider themselves pro-2A but support "sensible" gun control. They may consider themselves liberal but support the War on Drugs. Etc. In the final analysis, they just want things to run smoothly: for their families, houses and businesses to be safe; for grandma not to be cold or hungry; for the kids to be off the streets during the day (and if they actually learn something, hurrah!); for the trains to run on time; for taxes not to be too high; and to be left the hell alone. They'll vote for whomever convincingly promises to do these things, and labels be damned.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-41176616604505680302012-01-14T07:13:23.802-05:002012-01-14T07:13:23.802-05:00Bob,
