You hit the nail on the head. Except that, like another poster said, liberals can be hypocritical too, so it's a bit unfair to say conservatives corner the market.

It's incredible when a party/ideology keeps backing one side of an issue when all reality and reason points the other way. People get caught up in the rhetoric of charismatic speakers and well-planned publicity campaigns, and all of a sudden huge numbers of people are backing something simply because their team chose that side of the issue.

That's why moderates are where it's at. Take each issue, and each politician, on a case by case basis.
