do you feel there are more democrats (or leftists in general) or more republicans/right on yahoo answers?

based on my own sampling I have noticed that people giving articulate, intelligent answers to questions asked gravitate towards the left in their views and the ones leaving simple sloganistic responses that in no way come close to answering questions seem to have a \n"rightie" bias.  \n\nAn unscientific sampling to be sure.

I'm a long time Democrat and I say, yes the party is getting more liberal than most of the normal members of the party would like. Too many people in the party shooting off their mouths and saying radical messed up negative things on just about every other topic, especially the war, just for their own political agenda, and not for the agenda of the mainstream party members, who are the majority of normal hard working folks like you and I in the party...

There are as many good republicans out there as there are "good democrats". If no democrats are good in your eyes, maybe no republicans are good in a democrat's eyes.\nAnd the democrats aren't always the ones pointing fingers. There could easily be a case for the republicans doing that.\n\nSpeaking of childish, isn't it kind of childish to threaten to move if things don't go just how you wanted them to?

The US is still very bi-partisan, democrats & republicans. Others are starting to emerge, but are still mainly grassroots.

I agree with you.  I'm an Independent, and I'm really appalled by the level of belligerence and irrationality coming from the liberal left.  (I know that Democrats are not the same as liberals, but the party has lately chosen to align itself with those extreme left elements, which is why I would not vote for a Democrat right now).

149 - 86  I just hope they have set the tone that extreme leftists wasnt what the people voted for.  These Leftist thought they could use the middle of the road dems to elevate their extreme left agendas but it backfired.  I just hope this continues to happen for the good of this country for now

Seems to me that you pretty much hit the nail on the head.  Both parties have their scandals, their morons, and their self-righteous flag-toting extremists.  It is easy to complain when you aren't held accountable for the decision, so Bush-bashing is becoming more popular than ever.  The Democrats, being liberals in most regards, also have more division within their party.  Having said that, if it was up to some of the Republicans today, we'd still have blacks as slaves and women working only for the family.  What I'm saying is, both sides have their great minds and their fools, but historically the Democratic party has been more influencial and active in promoting equality.

Do you feel that your only option besides Republican is Democrat?\n\nHow about a third party?\n\nSince you're conservative, check this one out:\n\nwww.constitutionparty.com

I think we need more moderates, and less Neocons (I just learned that word) and Ultra-Liberals (I have heard that one too much)  \n\nThe cause of the catfight is people clinging to the party line, because they are in the party, and not thinking for themselves.

No votes here, but when there is, I will be voting for anyone of any party who is willing to stand up and defend our borders!  As far as I'm concerned, this issue transcends the usual Dem/GOP lines ... from now on I will vote for the individual who has America's interests at heart ... hard to find, but I'll be looking!

Just an observation, over a couple of decades. Exit polling seems to skew to the left, partly because democrats seem to want to answer questions about their vote, more than do republicans. As for pre-election polling, the keys there are "sample" and "style" of the question. Both can have a remarkable influence on the results. More generically, I believe pre-election polling skews democrat, because more democrats identify themselves as "independent", and thus, when that portion of the sample is counted, it generally skews the result to the left. You'll note (realclearpolitics.com) that the polls tend to drift back to the middle, as the election nears.

I wonder if they were all democrats!

The media according to a major survey group out of Washington and found that the major papers and TV news channels post 77 positive stories for Democrats to every 15 for Republicans. That sounds a little biased to me?

I really like rational conservatives like you. I am a democrat but I bet you and I would agree on 95% of the time and disagree maybe 5% of the time...good points..
