Do *not* be disheartened. I find a very equitable mix of Liberals and Conservatives in here. It really is close to being about a 50/50 mix. This is good in two very tangible ways;
1.) The majority does not overwhealm and silence the minority. This provides for a good healthy exchange of viewpoints and opinions out of what would otherwise dissolve into a rant.
2.) It helps me to look at various issues from angles that I had not considered before. While I may or may not change my opinion, it never hurts to have as much information about an issue as possible.
By the way, I am a card carrying Libertarian.
