Pushing a political agenda is definitely not what The Villages is supposed to be all about.
It is pretty well known that the owners are very involved with support of the National Republican party.

It is pretty well known that the paper has a political slant. Many newspapers do.

It is kind of like if you send your child to a Catholic school, you can expect they will be exposed to certain attitudes and ideas. It is not like you don't have a choice to go to these events, you do. Just don't expect to use one of the rec centers for a meeting of the Democrat party.

Living here is a choice.

Many people have a wonderful experience living here. Even Democrats.
