LIBERALS are responsible for THE AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE, THE AMERICAN MIDDLE CLASS, winning TWO world wars and preping the way for America to put a man on the moon AND win the Cold War; and over and above all, LIBERAL policies, programs, issues, and wining battles ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR what we now know as 'the American Way of Life."

"Independents" and "moderates" are merely undecided, muddled-middle voters who don't appreciate the FIGHTS that it took to wrench America from a pre-Depression Laissez-faire philosophy to the more modern approach that we Americans are ARE RESPONSIBLE, to a degree, for each other, and that we will not tolerate gross poverty, inequity, or the violence and ______ that accompany gross poverty and inequity in America. (Over the past 30 years, the "Drug War" has been the biggest exception to this more modern outlook, with the vast majority of the 2 million Americans in prisons, jails, or under legal supervision in that condition as a result to some degree on drug laws or alcohol laws, or both.)

Every day, the Right-Wing GOAL of a seeing THE MAJORITY of Americans living in subservient, subsistence conditions, while the extreme wealthy minority basks in luxury and unbridled power, can be witnessed merely by taking a flight to any Central- or South American city. Throughout ALL of South America, OVER HALF of the population survives on wages of TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS PER MONTH, or less. Bump that figure up to $400/month, and it would probably include 2/3rds of all South Americans. (Source: CIA Worldbook or ANY OTHER SOURCE on economic per capita GDP or other economic statistics.)

Of course, with so many living at subsistence wages, the American-style SOCIAL SAFETY NET is close to nonexistent.

THAT is the Right-Wing agenda, and "muddled-middle," "Undecided", "Independent," and "Moderate" voters who do not vote for AT LEAST some degree of two-party OVERSIGHT of the government, are VOTING FOR ONE PARTY RULE, and for THEIR OWN ECONOMIC DISENFRANCHISEMENT.

Quotes

"Liberals got women the right to vote. Liberals got African-Americans the right to vote.
Liberals created Social Security and lifted millions of elderly people out of poverty.
Liberals ended segregation. Liberals passed the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act.
Liberals created Medicare. Liberals passed the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act.

What did Conservatives do? They opposed them on every one of those things � every one.
So when you try to hurl that label at my feet, 'Liberal,' as if it were something to be ashamed of,
something dirty, something to run away from, it won't work, Senator, because I will pick up
that label and I will wear it as a badge of honor."
-- Matt Santos, fictional Democrat (you can tell - he lists the facts) on West Wing
