That is complete and total crap. Some people just don't get the urge to procreate. Also, some people don't get married until late in life and the biological ticker goes into "expire."
People who have kids when they can't afford them and ask me to pay the tab, people who have kids on purpose to bring them up in one or zero parent housholds, people who have kids when they are too old (such as Tony Randall) -- these are selfish (sometimes to the point of downright evil) people.
And there is no evidence, anecdotal or otherwise, that child-free couples vote liberal.

You must have missed all the articles regarding the strongest indication of who voted for whom. Childless folks went for Kerry, while parents went for Bush.
I'm child-free, by choice, and I don't vote liberal.
But I'm paying for someone else's kids to get a primary education, I'm paying for libraries (I buy my own books, thank you very much), I'm subsidizing child-care vis a vis WIC and welfare, and all sources of other programs that I will never, ever benefit from.
So before the knee-jerkers start calling us selfish, just take into consideration - my income helps subsidize your child-rearing in more ways than one, and you get the immediately benefits of it.
Around here in the blue zone, it's actually the dimocraps who have most of the kids. Firstly there are the dimocrap recruits (e.g. immigrants) having them. Secondly, the debt loving, government school promoting, nanny empoloying set also are having them. Conservatives like me, insistent as we are on standards (of finances, of schooling, of stay-at-home parenting) simply find it difficult, living in the blue zone, to create the proper conditions which meet our standards for having kids. Either we wait (maybe too long!) or we move.
