bit misleading. When you're on the net surfing forums around the world, don't you feel that theres more Democrats/Liberal types than Republican/Capitalists type. When I'm surfing around, it feels like its 10 to 1 odds. If you look at online polls around the world. They aren't scientific polls I know, but it gives you an indication on who visit those websites. Liberals tend to win those by wide margins
I do think that most Republicans are also on the net for more serious issues.
That said, I have been pleasantly surprised while online. Usually the libs will throw the usual emotional tantrum in a forum about something -- but then a reasoned conservative will post and all of the obnoxious libs will flee, or call them 'meanspirited' or what not.
I think that the exposure of conservative thought (which on the whole is far more rational than liberal 'thought') really opens the eyes of people online. Where else do you even get exposed to conservative ideas outside of talk radio?
I remember being on a forum dedicated to programming once, and someone posted how great that the UN Declaration of Human Rights was. Then a conservative/libertarian popped in and told everyone how idiotic it is, and compared our own Constition to it.
That was a beautiful moment.
Here is my understanding of how things work with respect to political affiliation on the 'net:
The most popular political sites (Kos, Huffpo, Slate, etc) are indeed liberal (and some, such as tompaine.com or Kos are quite a bit to the left of the center). However, the majority of political sites (whether discussion sites like FR, online magazines like NRO, or news aggregators like RCP, Drudge, and Breitbart) are conservative or libertarian. And indeed the total conservative/libertarian bandwith exceeds the liberal bandwith, but it is more widely distributed. Liberals go to fewer, but more popular, sites and get their news and discussion from fewer sources.
And I forgot blogs. Conservatives dominate the blogosphere even though the highest traffic blogs are liberal.
