Gallup says America has two conservatives for every liberal

Is that Keith Olbermann we hear choking on his own tongue? James Carville going into cardiac arrest? Janeane Garofalo hyperventilating?

According to Gallup, “40% of Americans interviewed in national Gallup Poll surveys describe their political views as conservative, 35% as moderate, and 21% as liberal. This represents a slight increase for conservatism in the U.S. since 2008, returning it to a level last seen in 2004. The 21% calling themselves liberal is in line with findings throughout this decade, but is up from the 1990s.”

Don’t look now, but the emperor has no clothes and even his magnificent pecs aren’t distracting the populace any longer.

  • Now, what will make people vote like Conservatives? A good, uncompromising candidate with some integrity. Let's find those folks and support the hell out of em.

    When you break the stats down to the aggragate level, you see lots of Democrats in this survey describing themselves as Conservatives. That is very encouraging as they canbe won over, we just need to offer them solid candidates.

  • Even with those stats, as everything else, they pretend not to see it and when you bring it up and debate it with facts, they call you r-wing nut, liar, racist, etc. I truly blame the uninformed, uneducated voter for the state we are in, its sickening.

  • Its amazing what happens to the political values of the population once they elect a radical leftist to power.

    Once they get a taste of real liberalism they start singing the praises of conservatism. Too bad we have to suffer Barry for the next 3.5 years just to make this point.

    Oh well, the media had worn us out on GW and Obama had that cool logo. McCain was a horrible speaker and all over the board on issues.
