The one you comment with "best solution?" is ok for this example. If
you dislike the repetitive part of setting the flag and getting the
second element of each argument, or especially if you want to
generalize it to more than three arguments, here's one way to do it:

    def conjunction(*args):
        if not args: return
        first = args[0][0]
        if all(arg[0]==first for arg in args):
            for e in zip(*(arg[1] for arg in args)):
                print e

    >>> conjuction(a,b,c)
    ('0', 'one', '0%')
    ('1', 'two', '50%')
    ('2', 'three', '100%')
