I have long said that Democrats WANT to keep the schools a mess - it gets them votes in the long run.
And this bears repeating:
For the thousandth time, the facts contradict liberal prejudice. According to statistics compiled from the Gallup Report and the New York Times, the less education one has, the more likely she or he is to vote Democrat (assuming that the person can figure out the ballots in Florida).
I've been a Republican for many years and this is common knowledge.
My opinion as to why this is true is that the uneducated respond better to the promise of "40 acres and a mule" that the Dems offer to the poor and uneducated. These people are less likely to offer the question as to why this offer has been out there for 60 years and no mule has ever showed up.
And people who cannot read, vote in Florida.
Education majors was by far the easiest degree to get when I was in school. There was very little work to do and it was generally simple.
You Don't Say!
Uhhhhhuhhhhhhhhhh. Do ya think, Beavis?
I once heard something along thses lines by someone famous:
"You have to be pretty smart to believe really dumb things."
Bout sums it up for most Dems.
Lots of stats to back up what we (Conservatives) knew from the get-go.
Well, DUH!
Professors have never done anything productive in their lives, and that's why they're Democrats.
I'm taking a class in macro economics at a local community college.
The first day was yesterday. I corrected the professor three times in the first 30 minutes.
He was trying to indoctrinate the class in socialist economics and his examples were geared for proving his points. I pointed out how each of his points were gross exaggerations, and how prominent economists disagreed with him.
He had to admit that economics is not an exactly science and that there is a lot of debate and disagreement. But he kept his eye on me the remaining 45 minutes, and toned down his rhetoric.
Eheh, he deserved it. A survey of the class showed that other than myself and two other people, everyone else had had no classes in economics prior.
I can vouch for this. I've been having discussions for days with the liberals around here about 527s. None of them know who George Soros is.
2 in 3, and maybe more, republicans know.
This begs the question, what came first, the chicken or the egg??
Vietnam Vet voters are Pi$$ed.
The title says it all
Equally good is
Demcrats are Undereducated Voters

I suppose you could say that those who are "overeducated" also vote Democratic. There is a sex difference too. College educated women are overwhelmingly Democrat, non college men are overwhelmingly Republican. More:

The changes have not produced a full-scale reversal of the two parties' traditional constituencies. In the bottom half of the income levels, the Democratic Party remains strong among African Americans, Hispanics and white union members, while GOP support has swelled among nonunion whites. In the top half, there has been a realignment of white, well-educated professionals (lawyers, doctors, scientists, academics), now one of the most reliably Democratic constituencies. But Republican loyalties have strengthened among small-business men, managers and corporate executives.
These changes pose challenges as Republicans and Democrats prepare for the 2002 and 2004 elections.
For advocates of a revived populism in the Democratic Party, the steady erosion of support among lower-income whites is a growing threat. A poll by Democrat Stanley Greenberg for the Institute for America's Future showed that whites without college degrees had significantly more positive feelings toward the Republican Party than toward the Democratic Party.
Asked whether their views were "warm" or "cool" toward the two parties, white women without college degrees were decisively favorable to the GOP, 49 percent "warm" and 27 percent "cool," while their assessment of the Democratic Party was less positive, 46 percent warm to 34 percent cool. For non-college white men, the differences were more dramatic: Their positive view of the Republican Party was 54 percent to 27 percent, and their assessment of the Democratic Party was negative: 38 percent to 41 percent.
D'OH!
Ya think?
