Re: "I'm sure that different types of conservatives all considered themselves conservative on that poll. Fiscal conservatives, social conservatives, conservative leaning libertarians. Liberal is similarly broad even in its modern political meaning...." That was EXACTLY the point I was making! Without knowing anything even remotely PRACTICAL and USEFUL, (such as even a GLIMMER what policies folks believe in or would want pursued), then we know next to nothing of any use --- especially considering the likelihood that many of the folks 'rallying-round' one of these words ("moderate, conservative, liberal") may in actual fact stand in stark opposition to others attracted to the very same word, when it gets down to the brass tacks of their actual beliefs.
