Is Charles Barkley liberal or conservative?

Answer 1

"He's right," Charles Barkley said of Mellencamp. "The word conservative means discriminatory practically. It's a form of political discrimination. [Conservatives are] against gay marriage and for a war that makes no sense. A war that was based on faulty intelligence. That's all they ever talk about. That and immigration. Another discriminatory argument for political gain." Barkley's shift against conservatism may also have something to do with his interest in poverty. "My No. 1 priority is to help poor people," Barkley has said. "In this country, 90% of the money is controlled by 10% of the people, and that's not right." Seems pretty liberal to me. He has claimed in the past to be conservative (even thought about running for political office as a republican), but comments like the ones above seem to contradict that claim. Hope this answers your question. PDM
