My point is that these characteristics is not limited to any one
political party.

No, it isn't.  You said that one class of people claims to support $foo
and acts to the contrary.  I'm just saying that the class of people can
be expanded significantly.  I'd go so far as to say that the
overwhelming majority of politicians from -any- party (not just the big
two) claims to support freedom and whatever, but defines "freedom" to be
the freedom to watch TV while the nanny state runs our lives.
