I don't think we are all that liberal. It is more a case of we are fairly highly educated. So when we someone unqualified for office, we tell it like it is.
Who you calling liberal?
Not every 4 years, but this year yes. I know only a few intelligent people that actually support trump. Some voted for him and most already regret it. We had two terrible picks this election cycle. No mystery here.
. Conservative, liberal or something in between- the guy has been a big league disaster thus far.Most if not all of us graduated from IU Bloomington. If you haven't noticed, it's a pretty liberal campus.
That, and the board is actually split fairly evenly. It's just the more liberal thinking folks are more vocal now.
No surprise there.
And I still can't believe some folks are defending Trump on this board.

I agree.
Very few liberals today are as far left as Nixon was. Or as far left as Teddy Roosevelt.
I try to be pragmatic. If today's top marginal tax rate were 70%(as in Nixon's day), I could probably be convinced that's a little high. Not that tax rates define where one falls on the political spectrum.

Perhaps, a better way of phrasing is "The educated people tend to be more liberal than the others."
Wage and price controls was a total takeover of the US economy. His 1974 plan for health care reform looked very much like Obama's. He created the EPA. He expanded the powers of the EEOC. He went to China (think Obama going to Cuba as a comparison). Nixon supported and signed a 40% raise in the minimum wage. He created the Alternative Minimum Tax. He was just considered conservative because the Democrats were further left. That is how far America has moved right.Nixon was far left? That requires a definition of "far left."
I think you're making the pitfall assumption that young and dumb college kids represent the liberals as a whole. They do not.
Maybe so. Mitt lost me when he backtracked from all the good he has done in Massachusetts. Had it been in 2008 it might've been a different story.
The GOP killed Romney by forcing him to run away from his signature contribution...Romneycare. Not only did Romney have business ability he also had the ability to work across the aisle. All those things are currently negatives among the base. Frankly, there is just very little room in the GOP for decent, let alone tremendously decent and competent people like Romney. Trump is the model.
Which vote you cast in what election is not the determining factor in the liberal conservative divide. The major factor(s) in the US divide are - what is the nature of mankind and what is the proper way to apply the Constitution. Those two issues divide us generally, if you could get accurate responses from folks. Unfortunately, some folks hold views but could never understand nor explain how those factors divide us not is it their reason. Some just follow the herd they have been attracted to without knowing where they fall on those critical, dividing points.
Good grief. This is what you think is reality? No wonder you come across as a monster.
If that were true then African American evangelicals and White evangelicals would be on the same page politically. Their theology is identical when it comes to the nature of mankind. The nature of mankind question is irrelevant.
