I would vote a 5th option : "Although I may lean left or right, I can always count on coming here for an honest unbiased discussion, which has changed my mind and expanded my horizon so many times".
Wait, What? Can you please point me to one thread on this forum that is unbiased? Please, I just want to see if one exists.
The difference in interpretation between a European's definitions of "liberal" and "conservative" has been discussed before on other threads. From what I remember, the Europeans posted that what Americans think of as "liberal" is actually considered "conservative" in Europe. So, using that reference point, what you are saying then is that "90% of the posters on this board are [liberal]".
Interesting poll. There are 54 posters who lean right vs. 70 posters who lean left. Yet, the lefties overwhelmingly (by 67 to 3 margin) feel that the forum leans right. It would appear to me that the lefties are even more delusional than previously thought.

Amazing, isn't it? It appears cluelessness transcends all possible bounds for our friends on the left.

No, he's saying everything in American is shifted far right of European standards. Liberal by European standards is several orders of magnitude left of Obama for example. So most people who claim to be liberal in America, are actually quite conservative compared to our European counterparts. American Conservatives are practically off the charts to the right by Euro standards, since Europeans don't have anything as far right as our Republican party has shifted.
I have feeling that's largely due to the influence of Conservative and Fundamentalist Christianity in the United States, since Europe is primarily far more secular and religion does not invade politics like it does here. We have the largest, most conservative Christian population in the Western world, possibly the entire world.

Its a reflection of the nation I really believe the country is pretty centered and becoming more center left

I was being sarcastic.
