In the United States, you'd be surprised at how many people do not know the policy differences between the left and the right, and are usually just fooled by rhetoric.

Some of the worst Bush haters are so brainwashed, that they like conservative ideas, until they find conservatives proposed them, then they try reverse themselves to find why this must be bad.

The result is usually an elaborate populist themed conspiracy theory.

If the democratic party stole some conservative policies, they could do some serious damage in elections....instead they just try and steal the rhetoric every now and then....until the inner liberal comes out.

One would think people would realize that liberals have to lie about being conservative to get elected. But nobody pays attention.

Agreed but the libs program children in public schools and then brainwash "educated" college students into thinking their ideas are the norm.

In "grown up life" it works the same with party-line Republicans- although Republicans/Conservatives are usually more tolerant of different ideas within the fold than leftists are within their fold.

"In the United States, you'd be surprised at how many people do not know the policy differences between the left and the right, and are usually just fooled by rhetoric."

Agreed. IMO, a good many of the folks who call themselves "liberals" don't realize they are also leftists. They might not keep voting Democrat if they actually put this together.
