Can I have the cash, instead?  I'll go liberal.  Please?  Anyone?  Feed the
homeless?  Babies and orphans?  Nuns on buses?  How about land conservation?
Spotted ducks?  Farm Aid XVIII?  I can juggle 'em all with the best of them.

Seriously, the whole concept is flawed from its very notion of "liberal."  Even
those with staunch liberal leanings would prefer to not be noted as such. On the
other end of the spectrum, media buyers don't buy Limbaugh because he is
conservative.  They buy him because he can make them money.
