Why Does It Seem That Boards Are Heavy To The Right?

I missed his pardons. Please, cite.

Er.. Scooter.

You also implied he pardoned Sandy Berger, but that doesn't sound correct to me. I could be wrong, but I have no recollection of that.

 

[Annie]

Er.. Scooter.

Bush pardoned Scooter? He's like the perfect Catholic school boy. C'mon Jillian, give up the dirt.

I'm totally not following you right now, Kathianne. Sorry.

 

[Annie]

I'm totally not following you right now, Kathianne. Sorry.

Now it's getting convoluted, you edited the one about Scooter, though the Scooter reference I still fail to follow. I never said anyone pardoned Berger, rather was trying, obviously imperfectly, to imply Bush failed to have justice prosecute him, fully. More clear?

Now what was the Scooter reference about?

Hitting myself on the head, Libby. Sorry. My really, really bad. I don't think he's been pardoned. I don't think Bush has issued any pardons?

ohhhhhhhhhhhh... you thought I meant *our* Scooter? lol..

FWIW, I used the wrong term. Bush "commuted" Libby's sentence. Real big difference, eh?

Actually, yes. LOL! (I'll take the cheap way out.) This has been waaayyy too confusing.

Cheers, Kathianne! Some nights are just like that!

Not that I've ever spinned a thread the wrong way ....

After looking around, it seems to me it's quite easy to get the perception that the board leans to the right because it is the conservatives that post most of the threads.

Participating members-wise, I'd call it pretty even. But there again, I see liberals logged on as long as conservatives, but the liberals don't post.

Power to you if that's what you want to do, but the only notable difference I'm seeing is in post count.

 

[Detmurds]

I agree GunnyL!

For me, I obey the laws of God first,...that will scare off one on the left everytime,...and for me,..I see that as the "liberal's" problem.

Did you actually read what he said?

What "he said"? Who is he? If you are speaking of GunnyL, I ask what is your point? I was basically adding to his comment. You do this kind of thing a lot I see. You should make a point next time and include a noun that I can recognize. God Loves you!

 

[CandySlice]

As far as I can see, many of these people were part of the team of gangbangers over on some other boards. And trust me, if you arent 'Liberal', to these people you have no rights. I take a centrist stand myself but some of these folks will be a bigger problem before they finally move on. Actual discussion and sane exchange of ideas is not their native language.

 

[edthecynic]

The left tends to prefer that their version of events and the world be accepted without question. A goodly number of them have no idea why they support what they support, except " because" and so when forced to answer hard question the majority run off to some board where they won't have to deal with those pesky questions and ideas.

Now we are blessed here, we have a smattering of leftoids that will stand and fight and are articulate and very adept at providing their reason for things. Granted they all still have a tendency to repeat the same lies over and over as if fact, but that is just standard practice. They don't run and they don't quit. They may get offended but they do not leave.

And for a while at least there were more lefties posting here then righties. Makes life much more fun when you have active participation from opposing sides.

Whereas the Right will imply foul play, and when corrected they Cut & Run without apology to another thread as if they still had credibility.

To lefties, discussion boards seem to lean to the right because lefties think everyone that doesn't agree with them are conservative republicans, neocons or whatever the name of the day is.

Not everyone that disagrees with dimocrat, libby, pap is a right leaning republican wingnut.

Righties have a habit of projecting their behavior on everyone else.

Want Independent and Moderate Votes? Articulate Conservatism!
May 12, 2008
RUSH: I maintain that moderates and independents are Democrats. Because, by definition, if someone or some organization is not conservative, it's by definition going to be liberal, not moderate, not independent, it's going to be liberal

Liberal Caller Assails Sarah Palin
September 10, 2008
CALLER: No, I'm not a liberal. I'm an independent, actually.

RUSH: Well, it's the same thing. An independent is just somebody [who] doesn't have the guts to identify themselves as a liberal. And then you call a radio show like mine trying to sound like a very smart guy, and you prove why you're an independent. You're brainless.

 

[Red Dawn]

It seems to me, that this great board, as well as my political message board is heavy to the right? Am I wrong? I cannot keep a single left winger in my message board (see my signature), and to me it appears that there are no Dems that can defend another Dem??? Prove me wrong is what I say,..be it in this site or mine. I find that everytime one makes a point against the left they get offended and quit,..I have had that happen I think about 20% of the time in my boards. Oh well, what a goof,...PROVE ME WRONG!

I can't speak for all libs, but I don't waste my time or IQ debating intellectual inferiors, dummies, or straight up Bush apologists. Its a waste of time.

Is it possible there's something wrong with you and your board, and that's why you can't attract healthy and diverse debate? You might want to consider that as a possiblity, along with your theory that liberals are afraid of your awesomeness.

 

[Agnapostate]

Uh...everyone's aware of the necromancy here, right? Yes, I realize that sets me up for some lame joke, given recent topics.

1) The far right wing of the Republican activist base are mainly led by very powerful people such as Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, and other heavily partisan talk radio ideologues just like them with Limbaugh being the undisputed leader of that crowd:

2) While Rush Limbaugh is obviously not popular with most Democrats and Independents, this recent Gallup Poll shows that Limbaugh "is viewed favorably by 60% of Republicans nationwide" which is a majority of the GOP:

3) Rush Limbaugh openly rejects the idea of serious Bipartisanship and compromise with any people who disagree with him including Republicans:

B) Rush Limbaugh confirmed this extreme ideology again on Friday, February 13 and today when he compared Bipartisanship and compromise to the question of Jesus making a deal with Satan:

"Bipartisanship only happens when one side gives in. That's why we despise bipartisanship here at the Limbaugh Institute. We never quit."

C) Rush Limbaugh's attitude toward Republican moderates who are not ideologues like him is "Good Riddance, GOP Moderates" and he openly admits that he is trying to purge the Republican Party of them:

4) Laura Ingraham follows this hard core ideological mold of Rush Limbaugh when she put Republican Florida Governor Charlie Crist (a potential running mate for John McCain in 2008) on her "GOP TRAITOR WATCH!" because he appeared on stage with Obama in Florida supporting the economic stimulus plan:

5) Many elected Republican officials truly fear Rush Limbaugh because of how many millions of people who he controls in his huge activist base. Look at Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-GA) who initially criticized Limbaugh, after that his office was inundated with calls from many of Limbaugh's "dittoheads," and then Gingrey called into Limbaugh's program pathetically begging him for forgiveness and kissing his ring:
