This is just my opinion and you might not like it, but I think Beck is the second biggest buffoon around, next to Limbaugh. He's an entertainer, not a journalist, and frankly I wouldn't even call him a commentator, although he refers to himself that way. He riles people up. He is constantly contradicting himself and I, personally, wouldn't go across the street to see him. Many do, but I think he has the same draw as Jerry Springer. Human nature pulls people to watch a train wreck. So, consequently, his visit here was nothing more than a gapper's block.

I'm not sure, but I don't think many, if any, liberals are asked to speak here in TV. I've heard that the developers are staunch Republicans, backing Bush and then McCain. Palin will be here shortly. Oh joy! Another gapper's block.

Joe Biden found an interesting way around not being invited here. During the Presidential campaign, he pulled up in a Limousine, Secret Service and all and stopped to have ice cream in Spanish Springs. This was a great photo-op, although not invited. Very clever.

You will find that this board is mostly very conservative, so you might enjoy it. Maybe not my comments, but most.

All of that said, no matter what party, the people in The Villages are extremely kind and wonderful people, be they Conservative or Liberal. I can only think of one couple that kind of stopped interacting with my husband and I after Obama won the Presidency. They act as if "we" personally put him in the White House! hahaha! But, as they say, they were simply fair-weather friends and that just isn't the norm in TV. I can truly say TV has wonderful, fun people here. The general environment is one of joy and good will. If you don't live here yet... you'll love it!
