From the journal The Forum Volume 6 Issue 3

The RePass article (The Forum, Vol. 6, Issue 2, 2008), continues the tradition of writers using the National Election Survey data of defining "ideology" as the answer to the liberal-conservative self-labeling question, and fails to consider the structure of substantive public policy attitudes and values as a necessary indicator of ideology.

Keywords: ideology; liberal; conservative; American voters; political attitudes
