Z, > They are not very pro-war, they support universal health insurance, they support taxing them if their tax money actually pays for real benefits, they are for gay rigts, they are more for abortion than they are against... a) The reaction of Americans to 9/11 was very different than Spain's reaction to 3/11. b) The public does indeed favor universal health insurance, but we're already halfway there, and the costs are almost always underestimated by its proponents. c) Most Americans do not support gay marriage. Not even in CA. The courts had to go against the will of the majority. d) Most Americans support restrictions on abortion. You're trying to project a collectivist mentality on a public that for the most part takes its individual rights for granted. Try imposing the same restrictions on free speech that Canada, Germany, and other more liberal nations impose, and you'll have riots in the streets of America. Here, individualism is favored over collectivism, no matter how you frame the questions "without labels" as you call them. Tenchusatsu
