Liberals generally do not believe in locking up criminals and throwing away the key.
Liberals are not generally hated - really, really hated - by Al Sharpton, Alton Maddox, the Village Voice, the NYCLU, and every commie scumbag in the five boroughs.
Liberals generally do not believe that people are responsible for the choices they make.
OTOH conservatives do NOT favor abortion on demand (especially not the barbaric partial-birth type), they rarely offer to pay for their daughter's abortion, they rarely support gun control and illegal immigration isn't popular with them either. Rudy is a LIBERAL babykiller.
