Isn't the term liberal too broad of a blanket reference?What's liberal to one person might not be to another?

Liberal and Conservative are both rather broad references. You'd be hard pressed to find someone that was either completely liberal or completely conservative in their thinking. Haven't seen one person in office that I agree with , or disagree with completely. There are politicians in both parties who's actions at one time or another that made sense to me, and actions that I could not fathom. Liberals seem to be branded by conservatives as people who want change for the sake of change, and conservatives that get branded as being rigid and unwilling to change. Both are extremes, and neither seems to work. Too bad there can't be an outbreak of common sense in Washington.
