>A "typical" liberal is one who laps up the democratic parties talking points without regard to the facts. This is exemplified by people who have seen Michael Moore's fraudulent 911 and know that it is a litany of lies, yet they still choose not to let facts get in their way. Typical liberals believe most Republicans are rich, gun toting, Bible thumping, anti environment morons. They also believe in taking money from taxpayers and giving it to people who aren't interested in working for it. The liberal wants to be able to feel good because he/she did something for someone. Never mind that they did something with our money. Conservatives want to help people too, but we want to see an outcome. We are so rabidly against the educational system because it has been shown, the more money you pour into it, the worse the product is. We want, expect and demand results.

A "typical" conservative is one who laps up the republican party's talking points without regard to the facts. This is exemplified by people who still believe that there were WMD when Iraq was invaded, that Saddam has close ties to Al-Queda and helped plan 9/11 despite gadzillions of reports to the contrary so they still choose not to let facts get in their way. Typical conservatives believe most Democrats are soak-the-rich, take-your-gun away, atheistic, tree-hugging morons. They also believe in taking money from the middle class (only because the poor don't have any to take) and giving it to people who haven't worked a day since they found the silver spoon in their mouths at birth. The conservative already has his/hers and doesn't care about doing anything for anybody. Liberals want to help people too, (and this is the only talking point I will grant, we are frequently more concerned about the effort than the result).

Somehow, I doubt that either of us has come close.
