Quoting: Anonymous Coward 621262I'm not a fan of the two-party paradigm either, but forgive me if using the conventional terms is uncool. What I'm saying is that a lot of GLPers' viewpoints tend to go to what we consider the right. Call it what you want. |

Communism is the far-left version of authoritarianism. |

I think a lot of the libs bailed when that started up. I'm an independent that leans to the left on social issues, and to the right on fiscal policy : ) Quoting: Anonymous Coward 712261+1 As Above, So Below Work Smarter, Not Harder |

ZOSIME User ID: 700640 United States 07/25/2009 12:49 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I want to ask a serious question. Why is it that most here are conservatives? There are plenty of liberal doom-mongers like myself, surely. So why aren't there nearly as many here? It's all anti-government right-wingers it seems like. Quoting: Billy JoelI'm not complaining, I'm just seriously wondering how this came to be. Funny you say this now. Before the elections its was taken over by dems it seemed and Libs but I think it was just allot of posters that had fallen for Obama and was sticking up for him. Now that they have had a taste of what he is really all about they are have waken up. They are not right or left. Catch my drift? |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 732437 United Arab Emirates 07/25/2009 12:53 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I guess you have not been here very long. If you had been here when the polls were taken before the election it was about 70% FOR Obama. This site has always been a Left Wing leaning site. People may be getting a little pissed off right now as they lose their jobs and houses but they will be still voting Democratic in 2010. Don't worry..... . |

the dude User ID: 668848 United States 07/25/2009 12:57 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It's only 'right-leaning" because of the party in power (excepting a few 'contributors'). Actually, it's more Anti-Federalist than anything. Check out some of their writings. They got their asses handed to them by the nationalists in 1789, but there are still strong anti-federalist traditions alive and well (for the time being) in the USA. |
