I you mean it the way I think you do you're probably right. Politicians, to gain votes, almost all depend on labeling themselves, their policies and the opponents in a particular way (ie. liberal, libertarian, pro-life). What that ends up meaning is that said politicians often aren't busy actually doing something but busy working out exactly which label appeals to the most voters, or tweaking the definition of labels to better suit them. A lot of the time this is meaningless in content, but effective in manipulating the electorate.Originally Posted by InsaneApache
