maybe they can actually be embraced by the majority. and brought to fruition.

I hate to say it, but this country is quite divided and getting the majority of voters to vote for this stuff might work if they don't see them as "liberal".

It's interesting, I prefer to call myself liberal, but after a while if I say "Well, I'm a centrist and I am for gay marriage.", more people tend to start to listen to me.

It's sad that the word "liberal" has become so alienating in this society, thanks to Limbaugh, Coulter, Clear Channel and the like, but realistically, it has.

Hell, I'd call myself a full-on, pure-bred right-winger if I thought it would convince more people to embrace a just cause.
