Lets cool it, please, people. A legitimate question (though my ten minute search that resulted in the list below may bring that into some question) for which there is a balanced answer.
I believe that audible caters to its customers tastes and what sells. While there is no practical way to determine the percentage of liberal versus conservative audio books on audible, I think the following demonstrates that audible is not stifling conservative voices:
Try
Of Paradise and Power by Robert Kagan, authors Michael Chrichton, Ayn Rand, Ann Coulter, and more for a taste of Audible conservative writers. Some other audible conservative audio books:

Compiled after a rather casual look at only half of the audible.com Political selection. Of this list, I personally have listened only to
Of Paradise and Power and Michael Crichton's
State of Fear which trashes global warming advocacy. I scanned a friend's Ann Coulter's
How to Talk to a Liberal and was glad not to have wasted an audio book credit on it.
For the record, I am 66 years old, a conservative in economics and regulation, a liberal on social issues, and an avid audible customer. I carefully shopped the internet and bought my iPod for a net $275 -- which takes me out of the $300 for an iPod group. So, there.
