I have come to the conclusion . . .

[turtlespeed 226]

. . . that when the liberals post, it must be a lot like masturbation, without a happy ending.

I say this because the population of liberals on this site out weigh the more conservative minded. This must be frustrating for the left, yet ALMOST satisfying.

"Almost" because they can only agree with themselves so much, while just when they are about to be finished, logic gets interjected into the mix and they have to start all over again.

I challenge that statement. Prove it.

Make a list of the top 50 posters in SC and assign them liberal or conservative labels. Make a list of the last 100 thread starts and do the same based on the OP's status.

Count 'em up.

That would not be an accurate evaluation.

By what methodology did you arrive at your conclusion then?

Assumption, of course! Just Kidding!

Actually I looked at previous posts and polls on the subject, but I posted another one so that you can see for yourself. How truthful people will be on a web site - who knows, it's the best I could do with what I had to work with though.

You know what they say:

"Arguing on the internet is like competing at the Special Olympics. Even if you win, you are still retarded"

Now how is that for NOT being politically correct?

I think this is in the eye of the beholder. the conservatives see more liberals, and vice versa.

polls you see might lean liberal, but those don't require actual *posting*. I think of the people who actually post and get involved in debates on here, more are conservative than liberal.

Meaning, the Conservatives are a loud minority, while the liberals are a silent majority. Leading to skewed perceptions on both sides.

I love it when people who often get worked up about their own pet subjects start partisan threads designed to wind other people up and then get self righteously lighthearted when the inevitable adverse reaction arrives even though it's pretty much the same reaction they would have to someone who had posted the same thing in the opposite political direction (breath).

It makes me happy

The math is pretty simple. The percentage of Liberals posting on this site is 99.9999%. Interestingly, this is the exact same percentage of Right Wing Conservative Nutjobs posting on this site.

Why?

Liberal = someone who disagrees with me
Right Wing Conservative Nutjob = someone who disagrees with me

Since no one 100% agrees with me, they must therefore disagree with me on something. Thus, everyone but me is BOTH a Liberal and a Right Wing Conservative Nutjob.

Math is so easy when you apply logic to it...

Ah
Polls have shown consistantly for decades that people in the US self identify as right of center

You are in the minority and your side has been the loudest for years

YOU cant change the facts

As for the ratio for those on this site? I have no idea

If more than 50% of folks identify themselves as Right of centre... does that imply that the centre of their world is not actually where they think it is?

I'd say that the above statement is simply another example of an often employed "conservative" fallacious argument where they assign their own flaws/shortcomings/tactics to their opponent.

Not a change in direction but a hint at a serious flaw in your statement.

I'll try and help you out. Just exactly how do you think centre is established?

Based on how often the country vacillates on the party of the president, we are fairly evenly divided. There are swing voters who just get tired of trying one party and give the other another shot.

The biggest problem, as I see it, is that politicians mistake someone voting for them as someone supporting them. They then plow forward with their agenda with the conviction that we are behind them.

I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.

While I see your point I dont agree

What we have today is an agenda driven admin that knows they do not have the support of the majority of the people to do what they are doing. HC is the best example.

Obama said on the Senate floor regarding Bush's attempt to privatize SS that since the people do not support it (and they did not ) he needs to follow the will of the people and let it go.

Different rules for this one term president

To your point however, I think the vacillations depends more on what is attacking the attention of the voters. The "does it affect me" idea. The economy and jobs will most of the time. Now we have spending and deficits pulling peoples attentions because many of the know it will affect them eventually.
