We have an unidentified candidate with the following positions:
1. They support abortion on demand throughout pregnancy, though they have made comments to the effect that they don't like abortion and would like it to be "safe and legal and rare." They have the highest possible rating from NARAL.
2. They support "civil unions" that essentially mimic marriage for homosexuals.
3. They support the strictest possible gun control laws.
4. They support amnesty for illegal aliens.
Based on these facts, would your initial guess be that this unnamed candidate is a liberal Democrat or a conservative Republican.
Well, if you were to tell me that he also opposed numerous tax cuts, then I’d say we’d have to be talking about a Democrat.
