Kahuna, to use your words and context the "vast majority" of people in Sumter County which makes up a significant part of the Villages may take issue with your cavalier assessment. From an old post by yours truly.

In the 2008 Sumter County presidential election where The Villages makes up a major portion of the electorate, it is interesting to note the result was overwhelmingly (63.01%) for McCain. Obama received only 36.04% of the vote. 82% of eligible voters went to the polls.

30,866 Sumter residents voted for McCain
17,655 voted for Obama

To my Sumter County friends and neighbors, isn't it nice to live in a community of so many like minded people.

I would not be surprised if other Villages districts registered similar results. Sooo.....it would appear you are in the midst of a constituency who does not tilt to your comfort zone on the left. Perhaps you will find more supportive and like minded thinkers on talk boards in urban areas like Chicago and San Francisco. I am sure Orlando would fit the mold. That is not to say we have a dearth of Liberal posters here. To the contrary, by nature, the left is usually more vocal than conservatives which sometimes makes their minions here seem greater than they actually are.

Obama is an intelligent, articulate communicator with charisma to spare. He is also the wrong president, with the wrong platform, and the wrong socialist agenda at exactly the wrong time in our history. His approval ratings are slipping dramatically and the only question that remains is how much damage he will do to our country before he leaves office.

I know that this rant is a broadside. I'll save for a rainy day debate on Obama's:

Disastrous Economic policy
Billions in military cuts
Emasculation of Intelligence Services
Redistribution of Wealth
Oppressive growth killing taxation
His Fairness Doctrine designed to kill conservative talk radio and free speech
His agenda to advance a new secular society in America
His lies - this will be a very long post

Wow.....this posting thing can be therapeutic. I feel better already.

Standing by for incoming.

Everyone, have a really great day in The Villages.
