...Several Americans I have known became more "right wing" after spending time in other nations...

Then you keep company with exceptions to the rule. Most Right Wingers are insular. I bet proportionately more Right Wingers don't have passports than Center or Left.

...help me out...

I would if I could, but some people are beyond help. Seek solace in their company.

Yep, you're right. For most people travel liberalizes. So does education for that matter.

I don't really believe polls where people are asked for their educational backgrounds or income levels, along with their political leanings. Especially if asked of relative extremists, many of whom are moron birthers. Do you really expect them to readily admit that they're poorly educated? I wouldn't take such a response at face. But you birthers would eat anything.

Of course it puzzles you. And the reason is, you're a mental defective. Think of it this way. If every Canadian thought like you they'd all constantly obsess over American politics and nothing productive would ever get done in your country.

Said the insular inbred who doesn't know that an entire, and fairly interrelated, world exists just outside of his borders.

The right is responsible with their finances and look out for the welfare of the entire country rather than just the unions. The left likes redistribution of wealth, the right doesn't. etc etc

Of course you don't believe anything that conflicts with your distorted views... that's part of how you became such a mental defective.
