Is it just me, or does there seem to be a lot more right-wingers on this board?

I've noticed a lot more anti-Obama and anti-left posts on this board than when I used to visit awhile ago.

Is it just me, or do more and more of the posters on this board seem to be rational right wingers instead of looney leftists? :D

    Some of us were lifelong Democrats (me) who are sick and tired of being taxed to pay for people who don't want to work or are here illegally. I just can't have the same political views as those people. I need to work against that.

    I think the anti-Obama sentiment is coming more from the people that are critical of all of the major candidates (a good thing), than from right-wingers.

    if anything, there are fewer hardcore right-wingers here than in years past...before public opinion turned on the GOP b/c of Iraq, it was pretty brutal in here at times. I think if anything, a lot of those posters have gone quiet...

    I don't consider myself left or right, and don't presume anyone else to be; unless they define themselves that way.
    But then, I'm a Canuck; I can choose a party anwhere along the spectrum... if I want to waste a vote ;)

    There are some aspects of Democratic thinking that aren't entirely offbase. I don't have a problem with fair trade, for instance. Neocon foreign policy doesn't leave a good taste in my mouth.

    Regular folks seem to get signed on to the Dems because they aren't millionaires, but regular folks hate lazy welfare-cases as much as the robber barons. And the average joe is more opposed to illegal immigration than big business, there's no doubt about that.

    Somewhere along the line, real conservatives need to reject the excesses of the Republicans and the downright traitorous Democrats.

    Having Obama become president tears at many folks core foundations and hence are becomming very vocal.

    There are more freepers here than on Hillaryis44.com. Mind you, that'd be easy these days. It's just the same three freepers over there.

    Did you know I got booted from Free Republic for being a "troll" :D?

    They don't like anti-war conservatives...

    And I don't consider myself a Republican either, except when it concerns Eire :).

    there are aspects of republican thinking that aren't entirely offbase. for instance, small, local government and a distrust of federal regulation.

    but then they destroy those with their hypocrisy on wanting federal intervention in all kinds of social issues and trampling on privacy rights via fisa and the like.

    my fear of the treason of republicans outweighs my fear of democratic economics. the latter only wants to tell me what to do with my money, the former wants to tell me what is acceptable for me to do with my life and thoughts.
    and like that... he's gone.

    censorship sucks, and if y'all had your way, the only books we could read would be little house on the prairie and the only movie would be polly-fucking-anna... and not the good adult title by that name! shit, pearl jam would be out because ed has some lyrics about suicide and drugs. that sound like a fun country to you?

    how so?

    unless you're talking about leftist revolutionaries in south america and the like, that makes no sense. here in the states, it's the right doing the censoring... blue laws, banning strip clubs, adult stores, calling special sessions of congress to investigate janet jackson's tit, getting harry potter removed from school libraries because it is turning children in satan-worshippers... the right has a stranglehold on censorship over here.

    ya know i was raised a republican and the current party and it's followers are no where close to being what i believe to be republicans....the christian right destroyed the party and is slowly destroying this country

    which is why i've voted libertarian for the last 16 years...although they are a bit too extreme for me, i agree with the core values
