I don't really think this is the case on this forums. There are a lot of posters on the conservative side who would take a liberal stand on social issues. Look at threads on medical marijuana, civil liberties, etc. There are some who tow the party line, but not the majority.

I also think the same is true of the liberals. Many of them are more open to free markets than the standard definition or the party line would make them.

Back to your poker analogy we typically label other players LAG, Maniac, Rock, etc. But often think that we don't fit a label, we are usually TAG, but will adjust our games when the situation calls for it. I think many of the posters on this forum, (or at least the posters that I still read) have a somewhat similar approach to political discussion.
