Well, I am a liberal and proud of it.

BULLSHIITE, KLIFFERD!

who hates you? let me at them!

Actually, I've thought the same thing for a long time now. With the exception of a few prolific leftwing posters such as Dethspud and Danni, right leaning posters on this site seem to far outnumber everyone else. Not only are they in the majority, but on an individual basis they tend to be far more prolific in their quantity of posts.

The following come to mind simply as I sit here at the keyboard.

You're full of crap as usual.

Rethink your post Moder8 after sobbering up.

Mod: There are a lot more libs than Dani and deth. Regardless we libs outshine the cons based on quality regardless of quantity.

Whig.

I am registered as an "independent" on the voting roles.
On many issues I definitely lean to the right.

Yet I cannot stand Bush and 99% of his globalist policies.
I hate Bush's illegal war in Iraq.
I love our military guys.
I innocently voted for Bush in 2000.
I voted Democrat in 2004 because I woke up.
I'm about 75% conservative in my views on most subjects.

Where does that leave me?

There are more, but Let's see those who say this site has more libs than cons put up or shut up.

Like this guy:


"bob, bob, bob.......... an overwhelming majority of folks on this site are libs. And they start the name calling...."

and he's wrong on the name calling also.

and this guy:


I would say the cons outnumber the libs 3-2.

Smart talk from a guy who has Reagan58 listed as #47....

The guy who runs the site is liberal. This the Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs.

This is a liberal website.

Buffalo Idiot - take me off the list. I am socially liberal.

Pirate

The owner of the site doesn't make it a liberal site. If more posters are conservative, this is a conservative site. I suppose if Rcade owned the site and only conservatives posted on it, you would still say it was a liberal site. That is your republican logic.

"Buffalo Idiot - take me off the list. I am socially liberal."

And someone who spends 90% of their time bashing "libs". Keep him on the list, Bob.

No Joe, you are not socially liberal. You are just too stupid to know you are a conservative. Anyone can go to your posts and see that you have nothing in common with liberal thinking.


"Once again - liberals were too stupid to vote for him, too. Not Kucinich's or Nader's fault. And it doesn't make either of them jerks for giving Americans the option to vote for someone who will live up to their promises."

bluffalo? are you keeping track of all of us?

there appears to be many more liberals here than conservatives. i'd say we're outnumbered at a very high rate.

too bad there's not a search engine here for cursewords - that's a sure sign! not that conservatives never cuss, but your side is so much more efficient at it! *;]

p.s. and it appears that nearly all the links are to leftwing sites.

What difference does any of this make? You want to wear a label - fine, that's your choice. Sort of like those people who buy "logo wear" to demonstrate their loyalty to Pennzoil, or Ms Magazine, or some soon to be has-been pop culture idol.

Some call it "identity politics" but I just think it's another way to put people into a box and either discount them or provide them victim status - which is nearly redundant when you think of it.

There are those hapless few who have no identity, and cling to anything that says "I'm cool" or "weird" or at least attracts some attention.

Personally I sometimes wonder at the labels people wear because they don't seem to be consistent with what they say or do. I do think it's funny that libs try to label me con, and the cons try to label me lib.

I either respect your opinion or I don't. You have your facts straight or not. You get a pass or you're on my shit list - and some people never get off that list. Naturally The b00b is one of them.

Might as well add Corky (AKA Seaten Beggs) to your list Bob. Lord knows we'll be stuck with him after Hillary concedes.

"there appears to be many more liberals here than conservatives. i'd say we're outnumbered at a very high rate."

Try looking at this site when you're not high.

Really? So far I see 57 names on the conservative list, and none on the liberal list. You should quit making things up, it is a bad example to set for children.

If more posters are conservative, this is a conservative site. I suppose if Rcade owned the site and only conservatives posted on it, you would still say it was a liberal site. That is your republican logic.

----

1) Still doesn't change the fact that rcade fully controls the front page and that he gives it a liberal viewpoint. He determines what stories get posted on the front page and thus what stories we get to post on.

2) You haven't even taken into consideration people who view only. You can argue that the majority of posters are conservative but you cannot argue that the majority of viewers are conservative because you cannot sample them.

Ozarkannie

I wasn't the one faking the disatance from the Earth. Want to run another thread on that one too? It is a very convincing video for anyone with a brain.

;-)

Really? So far I see 57 names on the conservative list, and none on the liberal list.


How about you, BBob! You didn't put yourself on the liberal list.

Here are more who I believe consider themselves liberal:

Danni

Nullifidian
Truthhurts

Hans
Yomama

Zatoichi
Redneckville

Pirate, you don't understand. Bob isn't going to put a list of lefties together even though he started the thread. Same as arguing you've never lost a round of golf...because you've never played a round of golf.

where are you finding this LIST?

1) Still doesn't change the fact that rcade fully controls the front page and that he gives it a liberal viewpoint. He determines what stories get posted on the front page and thus what stories we get to post on.


SO? As a liberal Rcader gives equal posting to all sides of all issues.


2) You haven't even taken into consideration people who view only. You can argue that the majority of posters are conservative but you cannot argue that the majority of viewers are conservative because you cannot sample them.

The point was never about who is LOOKING at the site--it is about who is POSTING on the site.

I'm not making up the liberal list. If you are--try putting numbers next to the names so we can keep count.

wisgod,

Never expected him to. That would be logical.

I'm not making up the liberal list.

----

Which exactly why you can state "This is not a liberal site". I know one is side that I'm counting is more than one side that I'm not counting And you complain about Republican logic?

* one side that I'm counting

I think thigs are pretty balanced around here.

Sure Rob has to post 18 hours each day to keep it balanced, but it's not like he has a life or anything.

So, I'll stick with pretty balanced.

If this were a con site I wouldn't want to be on it. Just preaching to the choir in that case.

Don't forget all the lurkers... and those posters who've seen fit to have multiple names. When I first posted in 2006 I came in under the Lokisfur era... or was it...

Something else: can it be that people don't want to be called "liberal?" It seems to have gotten a bad rap over the years. I read on here so much about "progressive, independent, libertarian, anarchist, country over party, etc." Many different flavors of non-conservative.

I like the balance RCADE has going on here. I'm not one to get banned based on my content but I think he gives posters enough rope to hang themselves. Don't change it.

Then why did you start this thread, Mr. Half Ass?

Pirate

Would you want a democrat being the only one counting the votes in an election?

Same concept here

Conservatives have said that there are more liberals on this site than conservatives.

I say bullshit.

I'm proving my point--now conservatives can either count the liberals or STFU. Simple isn't it? Even a republican should be able to understand.

"Still doesn't change the fact that rcade fully controls the front page and that he gives it a liberal viewpoint. He determines what stories get posted on the front page and thus what stories we get to post on."

You do know that you can post on the stories on the Back Page also, right?


That being said, it appears to me that while there are lots of con posters here, the majority of the stories seem to be put up by lib posters.

Then why did you start this thread, Mr. Half Ass?

Posted by wisgod at 2008-04-09 03:42 PM |


Good point, wisgod.

Pirate also made a good point to BuffaloBob:

Which exactly why you can state "This is not a liberal site". I know one is side that I'm counting is more than one side that I'm not counting And you complain about Republican logic?

Of course one side will be weighted more (toward conservatives) when the other side (toward liberals) doesn't even have a list of names and the number is always ZERO! duh.
BBob -- are you listening?

If you ask the people on the rig where I work, I am a bleeding heart liberal.

If you ask my friends at home and with whom I grew up and have known me the longest and the best, I am an exactly in the middle moderate.

If you ask the people on this blog am conservative.

So I'll go with majority who are also the people who know me best: Moderate

I'm proving my point--now conservatives can either count the liberals or STFU. Simple isn't it? Even a republican should be able to understand.

----

1) It's just a list of names.
2) Your list has already been wrong.
3) It's YOUR claim that conservatives outnumber liberals. YOU prove it.

"he other side (toward liberals) doesn't even have a list of names and the number is always ZERO! duh.
BBob -- are you listening?"


Nobody is being prevented from creating a list of the left. Do it yourself or stop whining.

"3) It's YOUR claim that conservatives outnumber liberals. YOU prove it."

He's already done that.

What part of the fact that you have the IQ of lint makes me a liberal? It's been down hill since Ike. I miss Goldwater; And Curtis LeMay.

Nothing preventing you from counting.

"The only thing that Bob's been proven is that Liberals are lazy, and alway's expect Conservatives to support them."

The lazy ones are the conservatives who whine about this but are too lazy to create their own list.

I already did earlier. Can't you read? I just jotted these names down off the top of my head. If you can count higher than 15 -- the number of names already down on the "liberal" list -- you can take over the counting job from this point on. I've got other things to do.

Hah! Proves my point that this thread is totally inaccurate.
I had Zat down on the "liberal" list.

"I already did earlier. Can't you read?"

I saw your list. So what? That list proves that conservatives outnumber liberals, which is Bob's point.

The lazy ones are the conservatives who whine about this but are too lazy to create their own list.

----

Um, Bob started this thread. He's the one whining.

I took a count and there are 12389034 liberals who have posted to 324 conservatives.

"I'm not the one making the claim. Bob is. Burden of proof is on him."

He has met the burden of proof. No one else can come up with a list of the left that comes close.

I personally, don't care. One Liberal is too many. :)

I've checked Pirate's results and concur. Tag, Bob's it.

It's YOUR claim that conservatives outnumber liberals. YOU prove it."

He's already done that.


???

I love the way people on this site treat numbers and statistics.

You are assuming the ones that didn't answer are conservative. I am assuming that the ones who didn't answer are liberal.

Therefore, the liberals outnumber the conservatives.

Or perhaps the liberals don't want to answer because they know that it goes without saying this is a liberal site

Or maybe they don't want to answer because they want to skew the numbers and make it look like a conservative site.

IOW, This is hardly a scientific poll.

Besides, is it the number of posters or the number of posts that determine if the site is liberal or conservative? What if there was one liberal poster who posted 99 posts a day and 99 conservative posters who between them posted only one or two a day. I would say it was a liberal site in spite of the majority of conservatives.

Again, I love the way people twist numbers and statistics. I highly recommend a book called Innumeracy. Innumeracy is to math what illiteracy is to the written word. It is very enlighening and explains how stats are skewed and twisted. This "poll" is a perfect example. The author of this book would have a field day tearing it to shreds.

btw, good thread topic, bob

He has met the burden of proof. No one else can come up with a list of the left that comes close.

Wrong. It's 12389034 liberals to 324 conservatives.

"Eh, the author of this thread is.....who? "

And if someone can refute Bob's list they are free to come up with their own list. Until then, Bob's point stands.

I've checked Pirate's results and concur.

----

That's it then. Results confirmed. Case closed.

"I took a count and there are 12389034"


you forgot to carry the one

Liberals outweigh conservatives on this website. I've already proved it with my numbers, which have been confirmed.

"Wrong. It's 12389034 liberals to 324 conservatives."

In other words, you're too lazy to come up with your own list, or you know you can't refute Bob's point.

Can you count? Start your list and others can cut and paste and add to it.

Another error in the poll. bob is determining who is conservative. I look at his list and I see several that are liberal. This makes it an opinion poll, not a factual one. Nothing wrong with opinion polls, but you can't take those numbers and say, "see, this site is conservative because I said so". It doesn't work that way.

Neither-Just a Keith-and glad of it.

I have grossly simplified way of separating liberal from conservative:
You are not a "liberal" if you voted for GWB in 2000 or 2004.

Obviously this type of categorization may be inaccurate as to certain individuals, but overall it gives a fairly good picture.

That's it then. Results confirmed. Case closed.

And IMHO most folks are moderate--there are few "flaming liberals and conservatives" on this site as a general rule.

And some folks cross over--depending on the issue.

It seems about even.

If I come up with my own list, I am expressing my opinion. If bob comes up with his list he is expressing his opinion. What does this prove?

A: Nothing.

Murphy, if you're going to keep track, don't forget about the 35 different names Boyd posts under.

In other words, you're too lazy to come up with your own list, or you know you can't refute Bob's point.

I've already come with a list. You have to come up with a list to refute my list. Get to work...

...or are you too lazy?

bob's list is wrong. I am not a conservative.

26 with Bob--

since most of the conservative names will inevitably be multiple handles for the same poster, the numbers will likely become skewed.

and it amazing how all the idiots are on the conservative list

At least Murphy has the balls to create a list, unlike some other lazy conservatives on this site.

Damn it WIS...your #1. No gloating!

Perhaps we should have some color on the site. Your handle could be "red" or "blue". That would make it easier. Libertarians would be transparent, like their politics.

dont forget larry mohr and tonyroma

Wow. Proof positive that absolutely ANY topic can degenerate into acrimony on the good ol' DR.

He has met the burden of proof. No one else can come up with a list of the left that comes close

He has proven nothing but his opinion. E.G. he has me on the conservative list, but I am not

"Bill O'Reilly (or is that Null?)"

You're counting me twice, Murphy. Also, Boyd/Betel/Cooper are one poster. Better adjust your count down by at least 4.

"and it amazing how all the idiots are on the conservative list"



and how many morons believe bob's list mean shit.

no he smells like #1, tries to blame it on the cheese

Yes, it's true, but it's only a partial truth, of course. It would have been more accurate to have titled it "No one sees smokestacks on the moon except bob"

If I come up with my own list, I am expressing my opinion. If bob comes up with his list he is expressing his opinion. What does this prove?

A: Nothing.

It's a fairly accurate enumeration of the right-of-center posters on this site. Obviously there are going to be a few that dispute their inclusion, just as there would be a few that would dispute their inclusion on a left-of-center list.

Crazy like a fox.

Gold is over $1000 an ounce. He's laughing all the way to the bank.

Again, says a liberal.

One must be truly unbiased to make such a claim. You are not. You lean to the left

So what? You want a medal?

That will do for a start. I'll provide the rest of my list later.

You can't say X > Y without knowing both values. It's not up to somebody else to determine one of those values. It's up to person making the claim to provide the values because they have to know the values in order to say one is greater than the other.
