Reply #35: I just came on this board also....

and I love it. I've been on several other political message boards and I have come to the conclusion that most of the people on this board are political junkies.... We have read everything we can get our hands on about 9/11, etc. I've never run across people who know more about all the latest issues.

To be honest with you, the more you read and hear about these things, the more you begin to realize that there is something very, very wrong with this administration and with a lot of the political system.

I used to be Republican (my whole family was - I was raised that way) but the more I started to read newspapers other than my home town paper and started to listen to CNN and other news channels - I became rather liberal.

You know how they say the majority of journalists are Democrats and are Liberal? The same with most college Professors. Who knows more about the issues than these people??? My opinion is that the more informed you are - the more likely you will lean left.
