They are a vocal minority. Libs are the majority, but most of them aren't interested in participating in debates, to my knowledge.

I don't think that GS has an overwhelming number of Republicans or hardcore Christians. Yeah, there are a lot of them, but I don't think that they outnumber any other group.

I believe there is a gamespot UK, not assuming you're English or something, just that a lot of Europeans are probably there.

You're the strangest Republican I know.

Naw. I'm not even Republican. Just right of center.

Hmm. Fair enough.

. . .What? OT is full of Liberals. There are a lot of Christians, but most of them hang out in the Christian Union. I've seen "Republican" used as an insult here.Theokhoth
I've seen liberal used as an insult quite often as well.

I have to say, the amount of hardcore christians and republicans on this forum is startling, I really would have originally anticipated that a video game forum would be primarily liberal and perhaps agnostic/athiest.

Andrew_Xavier

I would have thought so too, but remember, most video games are about violent conflict, something that such deviants take to heart, and revel in, so I suppose it's only fitting, even if they don't understand the true meaning.

Only the most hardcore Republicans, and besides, there's no way in Hell they'd vote for Obama (online or in real life).

I must say that my fellow party members are actually in the minority -- in fact, I normally rarely see any traditional Republicans in here, I mostly just spot the liberals.

Andrew_Xavier

This is a majorly democratic/atheist forum.

Just take a look at NVNEWS forums. They have a sticky for a bible passage and tons of people believe that we're living in the "end times" (lol)

Someone made a thread thanking Bush. Tons of repilies being like "thank you for your service, history will avenage you, thanx for keeping me/my family safe"

There is a smiley that makes it easier to use the term "geh" in a derogatory way.

Hype conservative white male forum.

I don't stray beyond the gaming section.

Uh, first of all I voted for Obama. I said many times before the election I was for Obama over McCain. That's really easy to verify via Google if it matters to you. Maybe I said that I didn't think Obama had any chance of winning at some point. I know I've said that I wouldn't be surprised if the election turned out to have questionable results again, and I'm pretty sure none of those times involved any real argument with anyone. If I did ever say that Obama was going to lose, I don't recall the discussion and you haven't provided any link. I Googled the combination of your user name and mine searching the Gamespot domain and came up with nothing of the sort, so no, I have no idea what you are talking about. If you're so sure of it, why is is so hard to link to the thread? That doesn't even make any sense.

See, everyone keeps saying that the forum is primarily liberal in this thread, but, look at the forum posts over the past few days, it's very, very republican. In my year+ here, I've always felt it's majority republican, perhaps because they are louder, or make the most foolish claims, I do not know, but, it still seems very right slanted.

I always thought that too, but there were way more Obama fans than McCain fans.
