You observe language variations, I see. Well, “America” is from “Americus”, Latinized form of the forename of the Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci.

Being an American of Italian descent I already know that.

Surely you're not going to dispute that the majority of people in the world (and ESPECIALLY in the USA - who are not immigrants) who spell "favor" as "favour" and "labor" as "labour" are liberals.

Now, there are exceptions. There are a few that are more conservative such as: The Daily Mail (UK), Canada Free Press...etc and maybe the above website. I stopped at "favour" for the reason you suspect but also because I have not concluded that Obama has not yet stolen this election.

And let it be known, I was never a Romney supporter. I do think he may have been cheated though. That became the primary reason why I did not continue after I stopped at "favoured".

“...the Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci.
“Maybe we should rename America after Thomas Crapper?
