The poll proves nothing. It's for entertainment purposes only. It's not a scientific sample.

Says the side with a giant population who reject evolution and believe humans rode dinosaurs. Dang I have to replace a lot of broken irony meters from interacting with conservatives here.

I did not choose any option as I think this board is pretty much on the center. However, if there is any leaning, it is probably towards the right.

As if the people who lean more left don't also routinely do the same thing as those who lean somewhat right to, when for example they routinely blame capitalism (or the 'free market,' whichever is their whipping boy at that particular moment) for damn near everything (even racism, for sake), and routinely proclaim in very vocal terms that: "it doesn't work"... "it has failed this country"... "it has failed society".... "it has failed the poor".... "it has failed the middle class".... etc... etc... etc.....

Rrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiggggggggghtttttt. Sure they don't do the same thing.

I don't think about it much.

[and even if I wanted to, it's too much work to try to figure it out]

Oh hell yeah. Tell CNN, MSNBC, and HLN, everyone. City Data is liberal, but we're being infiltrated by right-wing scum! Lol.

Does this political forum lean more to the left or right in your opinion?

Looking over a few pages of topic titles it seems apparent that the right is the predominant source of posted topics and the majority of those topics are basically just a rightwing feeding frenzy of hate on President Obama or Democrats ..
So from my perspective the forum is just a platform for righties to vent.

Obama to intensify his attacks on Republicans:
Quote:
President Barack Obama launches a political counteroffensive this week, weighed down by withering support among some of his most ardent backers, a stunted economy and a daily bashing from the slew of Republicans campaigning for his job.

"We've still got a long way to go to get to where we need to be. We didn't get into this mess overnight, and it's going to take time to get out of it," the president told the country over the weekend, all but pleading for people to stick with him.
