No, actually it hasn't. It has been consistently asserted... by you.

Considering that most of the right wingers making public statements on
the issue consider that college campusses are the last bastion of
communism, I fail to see much support to your claim.

Obviously, it was only obvious to me.

I suggest you stop listening to the voices from your toaster.

According to the ANES survey conducted by the University of Michigan. The
ANES is not interested in either political party, they are just trying to
track long term political trends. I am using this source just because they
have conducted extensive surveys to try to understand US politics.

http://www.umich.edu/~nes/overview/overview.htm

About 36% of Republicans graduated from college while about 28% and 23% of
Independents and Democrats, respectively, graduated from college. About 59%
of Republicans made over $35,000 a year while only 50% and 35% of
Independents and Democrats, respectively, made over $35,000 a year.

Again, the ANES is not interested in either political party, they are just
trying to track long term political trends.

From the Diane Divers Blair Center for the Study of Southern Politics and
Society, which does not support either party and is only interested in
studying Southern Politics.

"Adherents to the two parties in Arkansas had different levels of education,
with the Republicans being more educated. Roughly, 23% of the Democrats and
21% of Independents possessed a college degree; 39% of Republicans had
graduated from college."

"The state's Republicans are also wealthier than their Democratic and
Independent counterparts. Almost half (47%) of the Republicans surveyed
stated they had a household income of over $35,000, while 37% of
Independents and just under a third (31%) of the Democrats had incomes over
$35,000."

These two college studies do not endorse either party, but are only
interested in tracking the demographics as it relates to US voters.

You equate money with intelligence. I've met a lot of "rich" people,
of both parties, that are quite stupid. I've met a lot of "poor"
people that are quite smart. Look at Bush, I believe he's pretty rich
and then on the other hand he's also pretty stupid. Then there's the
"old" money thing. If your parents are rich, your way can be pretty
well paved, a fast track to wealth through schooling and contacts that
on your own might never have happened, you were just lucky and
happened to pop out of the right womb. Just like Bush. On his own he's
incompetent, his dad's money and friends got him out of the numerous
holes he's dug for himself. Wealth can also be accumulated through a
lack of ethics, in the business world the final litmus test seems to
be legality, not morality. Rich folks,and according to you more
Republicans than others, seem to me to lean towards the IGMFY state of
mind, I got mine, **** you.

I saw a very good $3 bill last week with a photo of Dickless Cheney on
the front and that expression on the back. Seems to fit perfectly.

We today have a president of the United States who looks like he is the
son of Howdy Doody or Alfred E. Newman, who isn't smarter than either of
them, who is arrogant about his ignorance, who is reckless and
incompetent, and whose backers are turning the United States into a pariah.

What, me worry?
