In general, you summed it up pretty well. Of course, there are exceptions. The Republican politicians have been having a hard time lately living up to the family value thing. And Bush has a real hard time with that small government thing. Hence the bottom-of-the-barrel approval ratings.

I only wish that some liberal politicians would stray from the core liberal ideals.

Two other things: First, liberals seem far more likely to have bumper stickers and to go to loud rallies that disrupt traffic. Why is that? Second, liberals seem less logical, espousing idealistic solutions to the world's ills that would cause more harm than good.
