Why do liberals put questions up for a vote and conservatives always pick?

I haven't noticed this, but I might have an answer...\n\nLiberals like to check with the people, to make their vioces heard.  Conservatives just go and make a decision, without looking at all the facts.

the bbc, sky news , the mirror and the sun dont go into the polling booth and vote people do, give each individual the credit they deserve they are all intelligent people who can make up their own minds.\n\nHowever anyone that votes conservative needs their head testing or their bank accounts frozen.

Because liberals think with their heart, and conservatives think with their heads. \n\nIt feels really good to get together with a bunch of people that think the same way that you do - especially when you get attention like you do when protesting. However, it doesn't change anything. You are almost always preaching to the choir.\n\nConservatives are logical. When they want change, they don't get together and have a parade, they actually do something that will make a difference. Voting is about a million times more powerful than protesting, and it doesn't require a permit.\n\n.

I agree with C.E. You are bias, and it appears to be that you don't care. But I will give an answer anyway. \nLiberals and Conservatives are on diff. sides. You think they're going to get along when both think that they're right? It's obvious they're not. Here's why: \nThere are some things worth fighting for. What your country does is a BIG one. \nOh, let me verify something. There are good ppl on both sides, and there are bad. Not all think the same way, but there is the general idea of both, that has been established. \nAnd this isn't democrats vs. republicans, it's liberals vs. conservatives. You need to get them straight. But here's the story on what you asked, even if you didn't know it;\nConservatives wish to conserve the morals and values of the JudeoChristian heritage that has made America great. \nLiberals wish to have "freedom" from all morals and values, esp those of the scriptures. \nDems and Republicans are diff. If you're wondering abt them, ask that. Generally though, it is the republicans that have conservative views and vice versa. \n...Conservatives believe that torturous murder of unborn babies should be illegal, and Libs believe it's the woman's choice to kill her baby or not. \nCs believe capital punishment should be used, and Ls want to be easy on such crimanals. (usually) Cs believe homosexuality is wrong, and such "unions" should not be allowed, Ls promote such stuff....\nThere is more, but that is why they don't get along. Why should they?  I am a conservative republican, and I will always fight for what I know is right, and liberal democrats will always fight against that. And that's the truth of it.

Maybe because they listen to the spew of the media without knowing truly about what really happens. Maybe because they would rather follow an agenda than use some common sense. Maybe because they are so willing to buy into anything that supports their uninformed opinion based on little real life experience.\n\nWho knows why the liberals are like they are.

As a conservative, I have to disagree. Liberals know all to well what free speech is. Haven't you noticed that they never shut the frig up?

Because liberals are cry babies when they lose. It's voter fraud, voting machine conspiracy theories, disenfranchised voters, turned away voters, long lines at the polls, etc, etc. \nBut when they win, well......all is fine with the system. \nNotice how we didn't hear one word about voter fraud!!! SSHHHH!!!!!

Yeah, I am one of the few liberals who dont put other people down.  This is what I have to say to all the liberals who do: Most liberals believe what they do because they believe in human rights.  By putting down anyone who doesnt believe what you do, are you really standing up for human rights, or liberal rights?  And to conservatives, most of you are the way you are because of a strong moral foundation.  Do you really think of yourself as a moral being when you talk about how terrible liberals are for what they believe?  By doing this you are NO better than them.  If you want to have great moral charcater, raise up above them and show them that you have an argument that can be proven, and dont just bash everyone.  \n\nThe thing about political views is that there are two equally good sides to EVERYTHING.  Period.  The only reason why people believe the way they do is because they think that one side is more imporant than the other.  For example, take abortion.  The right side believes that it is terrible because no matter when you believe life starts, you are getting rid of a potential life.  Not even a liberal can argue that side.  The left side however believes that if it is a life or not, a grown woman's rights is so important that an unborn child is a small price to pay.  Both sides are right and just, but what you believe is what you think is more important.  Any issue can be taken appart to the right and left side like that, and anyone who refuses to do that and just believe something for no reason doesnt have a mind and just follows whatever liberal/conservative bullshit they are fed.\n\nDear god, why cant we just get along?  Why is it that we can NOT respect others if they arent like us?

Liberals get their information from the same sources that Conversatives get theirs.  However, liberals then ignore any facts that go against their pre-determined beliefs.\n\nThen, as you can see above, they feel the need to attack and insult anyone who disagrees.

You're going to get some real heat over this question. Conservatives will say you are not entitled to your opinions. Whenever a liberal administration takes over, you will see the world will step back from the brink.  I just pray we don't get past the 'tipping point' (see link). \nConservatives care about conservatives, but liberals care about everyone.

Though I am not a liberal, I have found that wacko conservatives are more stubborn know it alls than are liberals. Personally, I think both are retarded, but that's just the opinion of a hard line moderate.

Interesting you say that.  I am a conservative and often find myself asking the same question concerning liberals.\n\nI don't think you really can find an answer to that particular question because it is merely an attack of something you do not understand.  If you would like to know why conservatives see things in a different way try understanding where they come from.  Listen to what they say not to what others say about what they say.  \n\nI try to do that with liberals.  Instead of saying that they are just raising taxes to give to the poor I try to understand why it is not OK for me to keep the money I work for and earn.  I am not rich by any means but I do believe that if someone has earned or even inherited money from someone that earned it, they should be able to keep it and spend as they see fit.  \n\nIt is not mean spiritedness and nastiness.  It is a difference in the basic way we see things.  Name calling does not lead to anything but anger.  For proof that people can actually see things differently while looking at the same thing ... see the website listed below.

Because they use the useless social programs and free government handouts to BUY VOTES from their shiftless lazy and ignorant base.\n\nYou know whom I'm talking about - People who say things like "How bout being pi**ed of at the wealthy at not paying their fair share of taxes" - Even though the facts clearly show that the rich PAY MOST OF THE INCOME TAXES - The Top 50% of income earners pay 96.54% of All Income Taxes - The Top 1% Pay More Than a Third: 34.27%\n\nLiberals can't take the truth because it exposes their arguments for what they are - completely based in emotion and void of any facts.\n\nStop whining liberals - your ideas for running the country suck - deal with it.

Because the truth always annoys and Conservatives react with anger when they are told the truth of their mistakes!\n\nIt's a shame that you have such anger problems and would actually take it out on your Family, Pets or anyone or anything else near you.\n\nYou see Liberals...this is why we must all get out and vote on November 7th and rid ourselves of these Family and Pet abusing Conservatives.

Because liberals, like most people, are ignorant when it comes their own political ideology. I believe a lot of liberals haven't really thought about their positions hard enough to see the inconsistency. \n\nThey don't like the idea of the government telling them who they can sleep with, but they have no problem with the government telling them who they can do business with, and under what terms. They don't like paying to promote certain religious positions with tax dollars, but don't see anything wrong with tax dollars going to support certain cultural or artistic positions (i.e. art subsidies).\n\nThough tangerine is partly right; conservatives are just as guilty of being hypocrites. You can't really argue that the state must regulate our behavior to make us "moral", but that it shouldn't regulate our behavior to make us "fair."
