I very much enjoy watching the Colbert Report and the interesting guests that he has on. His dialog seems to indicate to me that he is obviously not happy with the current administration and that change needs to be made. However, many of his guests either don't pick up on his sarcasm or for some other reason indicate in their conversations with him that he may lean Republican. I think that he is basically operating under the same strategy that the Daily Show uses when John Stewart speaks with his "correspondents" with the exception that Colbert's guests do not rehearse what they talk about. If you had to place him in a category politically, where would you? Personally I would consider him a clear thinking, intelligent individual who entertains his viewers by forcing them to examine the issues affecting their lives and come to their own conclusions regarding them. What do you all think?? Happy New Year!!!

Being that I know stephen colbert and live in the same town as him, I know that he is very democratic and just puts on a show during his...well, show. He does not preach these values to his kids or anything. Also he does wear bright green shorts to the Y which no conservatives do.(yes that was a pun for all you slow people out there, but he actually does)

Colbert the actor and satirist would fall under the Democratic Party (as he's said). Colbert the character (that he plays on his show) would be a die-hard Republican.
But both sides should find him very funny. He pokes fun at a lot on both sides of the aisle.

As a former Registrar of voters i will say that maximum individuals of the voters interior the U.S. are Unaffiliated. the only element that having a political association does for you is while the Democrats or Republicans have a "usual", then you truly get to vote for the single which you truly want to run for President-Senator- any place of work. i'm a Republican who's in no way voted a right now value ticket. I surely have continuously voted for the guy who I felt could do the final job. Have her grow to be an "Unaffiliated" (no longer autonomous), this is yet another kettle of fish.

It's so clearly sarcastic, it's definitely not republican. It would be either democrat or independent.
It is funny though that you dont notice until you see the show that it is exactly like a Bill o'reily or fox news show. You dont notice the absurdity of their illogical, aggressive bias, until you see the exact same thing by someone that you know is being facetious

There are a lot of stupid republicans that don't realize he is mocking them, like the one's that invited him to the white house press dinner.

He's a Democrat. ALL of the political comedians are.

I think he swings both ways. I say independent.
