A liberal has to defend his positions in a conservative state; a conservative has to defend his positions in a liberal state, better hide them or distract from them as Simon is doing
Interesting. I live in Texas, which I think most will consider a conservative state, and I have yet to hear Morales or Kirk, dems running for the senate, have to defend their liberal views. Cornyn, the Republican, has been grilled many times about his conservative bent.
I understand the need to keep conservative views under wraps in California but it seems your theory about liberals in conservative states does not hold water. This of course being my point. When was the last time you ever actually saw a liberal having to defend his liberal views?
