[Appalled but Not Surprised]

But only 14.8% of the nation is liberal. Can't rule with numbers like that... unless you are a dictator.

As I recall the article, the guy was involved with a specific poll. Polls can be manipulated to provide whatever outcome the pollster desires. Being who he is, there's no doubt in my mind that he was using numbers to bolster his own beliefs.

What he was writing was: 51% of those polled were Democrats. 29% of those polled were liberal/progressive Democrats. That leaves 22% of the Democrats as moderate/conservative. That's how he came up with the 58% figure: 29% of the total population makes 58% of the Democrats when 51% of the total population are Democrats (in round numbers, of course).

Still, I agree that his figures are high for liberal/progressives and that's where I believe he's fudging the numbers. I've heard elsewhere that 15-20% is a good range for percentages of liberal/socialists. That's somewhat under half of all Democrats.

Where' was the poll taken? How was the poll constructed? How were the questions developed? Who managed the results? This is all a big moonbat exercise and only serves to show how loony they are.
