another article to rile the libs up.

[Genesys]

Will this article incite a riot on AT, only time will tell.

That the typical Democrat donor is single, married without kids, or with very few. Coupled with their notorious love affair with abortion, this does not bode well for the future population of Democrats.

What a clown...

<--- pro-life liberal

 

[sandorski]

Why should anyone get worked up over this?

 

[Moonbeam]

This phenomenon was addressed by C. M. Kornbluth in 1951 in a story called "The Marching Morons". Give it a read.

Isn't it a scientific fact that generally speaking, those who have more children have lower intelligence? I'm not advocating either low or high birth rates... but I am an ardent supporter of other peoples' idiocy.

I've read a study somewhere that less educated people have more children, thats probably what you mean.

 

[Zephyr106]

Ahhh thanks for clarifying. That certainly is the case in the 3rd World. Therefore, does the article indirectly assert that Republicans are less educated? Why is it that often the majority of academia is liberal?

Doesn't surprise me. Just look at Africa. Some countries there have a birthrate of 8 children per woman.

Rats, of course, have this down pat.

I consider myself a moderate, and typically biased opinion pieces like this don't bother me either. Why wouldn't business owners be for Bush?

The more educated you are, the more likely you are to be liberal. This is proven fact.

think it has more with people being poor than little educated but that very often goes hand in hand

Another guy I would love to have on my Radio show, let's see if I got of his Tally right:

Republicans:

Income average around $92,163

Breeding like rabbits with Large families living in suburbs

Business owners or Corporate Executives

Screw the planet, drive Huge SUV's and drive more to use support our Arab friends

Piss in the water and not afraid to drink it

Must Conquer The World


Democrats:

Income average around $25,866

Single, married but childless either through avoiding commitment or practicing abortion or with very few.

Live in city apartments or condos

Work in someone else's business instead of starting their own

Afraid of global warming, so drive tiny cars and drive less to use less fossil fuel

Afraid of Chemicals in the Water

Afraid of War and will surrender like the French

So...you're basically saying upfront that this is intentional flamebait. Strong work.

The $25,866 was the median for Gephardt's contributors, Dean and Kerry's are supposedly around $50,000. You also forgot the average education was at least a college degree for Democrats(graduate degree for Kerry supporters) You notice how he fails to discuss the education levels of those contributing to Bush? Remember, you can make a lot money with little education in this country.

Also, before anyone jumps on me and goes "omg liberal! you just hate conservatives", remember, I said Bush supporters, not Republicans/conservatives.

Michael R. Bowen practices Gastroenterology and Internal Medicine, and has a weekly column on America's Voices.

Fox News should hire this guy. He'd fit in nicely

Are we all agreed that the writer is a clown, or are we referring to the guy quoted?

BTW... I think its bad enough to be pro-choice, but its a TERRIBLE thing to be pro-abortion...

There were some similar articles a few months ago on salon.com. One in particular was talking about educated women having less children as they decide to go for a carear instead of a family.

The more educated you are, the more likely you are to be liberal. This is proven fact.

You can provide evidence to back up that claim of course.

I believe this only holds true for PhD's. And that is because liberals are more likely to pursue PhD's and would prefer to study and teach instead of joining the workforce. This doesn't mean they are more intelligent. Only that those with liberal views tend to be more interested in the world of academia.

Exit polls published by CNN following the 2000 Bush election show the correlation between votes and education. Granted, this is only for one election and cannot be generalized to overall political ideology:

HS dropouts: Gore-59%, Bush-39%
HS grads: Gore-48%, Bush-49%
Some college: Gore-45%, Bush-51%
College grad: Gore-45%, Bush-51%
Post-grad degree: Gore-52%, Bush-44%

Now convince me that college educated people are more liberal than non-college educated people.
I have two BS degrees by the way.
And personally, I think it shows more intelligence to be able to survive years of liberal college professors and end up being more conservative. Or maybe it's just rebellion, my parents were liberal hippies after all.

EDIT: And obviously more educated women have fewer children. But again, that has nothing to do with intelligence. Some women choose to place a higher priority on raising a family rather than on a professional degree and a career. That doesn't make them less intelligent.

Remember, correlation does not equal causation.

I wouldn't say those with bachelors degree or higher(especially for those with professional or graduate degrees) are not so much more liberal, they are just more likely to put thought into their vote instead of just voting for a party.

Also, you can't really describe Democrats and Republicans as ideologically based parties. Sure, there are certain ideas that remain in those parties, however, there are plenty going against those beliefs commonly thought to be strictly Republican or Democrat.

I was responding to point out that statements like:

are not accurate.
Liberals like to perpetuate the myth that they are more intelligent and more educated, while conservatives are just stupid hicks.
So I was just pointing out that the majority of undergrad college educated people in this country voted for Bush, while Gore had the majority of high school dropouts and PhD's.

It is true that you can't really define democrat=liberal and republican=conservative and be 100% correct. But you can be 95% correct. Those people who consider themselves liberal vote for democrats overwhelmingly and the same holds true for conservatives voting republican.

Bush donors tend to own businesses and produce jobs

Well he better find some new donors. Cause they ones he got haven't produced a damn thing, let alone a job. Oh, I know let the plan run its course. Even if its running backwards. Its amazing how f===in stupid people are to continue to support this administration and we have been thrown into the most crippling state of financial turmoil since the damn DEPRESSION. And these clowns couldn't find an answer if it slapped them in the face like a cold wet towel. Its sad to see people sell out common sense in the name of politics. What a joke. Oh and hows the WMD search coming along? Maybe after we step over a few more of our boys' bodies we'll finally find something. You would think these dumba$$es would at least have tried to plant something by now, duh. I guess continueing to look foolish has become a habit hard to break.
