I defy you to prove me wrong in the following general values:
1. The majority of people in this country want us OUT of Iraq.
2. The majority want us out of Afghanistan as soon as possible. The majority want peace, diplomacy and the end to unilateral Bush Doctrinesque wars.
3. The majority of people are pro-choice.
4. The majority want some form of gun control - not necessary banning, but certainly control of what types of weapons are available, to whom, and in what way they are sold. That's a form of control.
5. The majority want some form of reasonable immigration laws.
6. The majority want a balanced budget or fiscal responsibility.
7. The majority want affordable health care, equal rights, equal pay, more jobs, some protectionism, clean air, clean water, ecological responsibiity.
8. The majority affordable college, better education, better transportation, safer infrastructures.
9. The majority are willing to pay more taxes to see the above accomplished.
So what part of this is "conservative" and what part is "liberal." I defy you to label any of it such. I defy you to make this about labels. It's about common sense.
