If they were conservatives or moderates who disagreed with other conservatives or moderates why is there nearly no indication of those beliefs in the republican base? You are basically argueing that Liberals, Conservatives and Moderates all agree.... except for democratic conservativse and moderates for some reason.
Additionally warfare that is conducted because you think a threat is going to happen (like Iraq) is seen as wrong by Liberals... correct?
Also since "Self identifying" can't be used. You are basically argueing that nothing can be presumed about liberals... at all... and that for all we know liberals could really be pro-choice, anti-guncontrol nutjobs. |
If its not an assumption then show me...there are plenty of moderates and conservatives who don't belong to the GOP, so assuming that the GOP would have similar levels of those people, is a fallacy. You're not showing statistical logic, that is just pulling numbers out of the air.
No I'm not arguing that they agree, I'm arguing that you don't know what political viewpoints those 7% have, so assuming its liberals is an unsubstantiated leap.
Its also seen as wrong by Libertarians, yet I don't see you commenting on their views. And I don't expect you to, because you don't have any proof of their affiliation, you would have to see how they vote on a variety of issues first.
I'm saying you can't use self identification, but people's viewpoints on a spectrum of issues and their voting behavior can be used, if people tend to vote on a wide variety of issues as liberal then they are probably liberal, same for conservatives and moderates, however you can have people who are anti-abortion, but believe in big government, so trying to pick a particular issue and label them with a viewpoint based on that one view is a fallacy.
