The ANES survey conducted by the University of Michigan agrees with my
premise.. 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. They too agree with my premise.

"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.

It is consistently shown that Republicans have a higher education level
than Democrats

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.

Can you point to *which* survey?

This is an interesting website, but your link just goes to the home
page. I did not find any mention of a study or report on education
level, income and party affiliation.

Independents and Democrats, respectively, graduated from college.

Supposing that there is a study saying this, does that mean it is
conclusively proven?

... About 59%
of Republicans made over $35,000 a year while only 50% and 35% of

Not a surprise.

OTOH I wonder what percentage of people living in mobile homes are
voting for Bush.


Again, the ANES is not interested in either political party, they are just

I found a number of interesting studies on their web site. However, even
if (and it's not proven yet) they have made study such as you claim,
then that is evidence but hardly proof. Meanwhile, spin on!

Gould and Doug would prefer to use their gut feeling instead of the
University of Michigan's long term study of voters trends and attitudes.

After all if the voters actually thought instead of relying on insults and
slander they would vote the democratic ticket. Gould actually thinks his
gut feeling is more accurate than U of M study that is used and analyzed by
hundreds of Universites.

Don't know about Doug, but Gould learned a long time ago that you can find a
study to support *any* conclusion.

I was listening to a radio show today in which an author was discussing a
previous book "What's the Matter with Kansas?" This author has done an
extensive study that shows that much of the Republican support comes from
working class whites who routinely vote *against* their economic self interest
to be on the "Godly" side of the "big four":
(God in school, guns, gays, and abortion).
The author had a convincing study that showed the higher a person's income, the
*less* likely they were to support George Bush.

I could do the research to creat a link, but then we'd have dueling websites,
or dueling studies. Proving nothing.

If you cannot express your own opinon or form your own thoughts, then I suppose
the thoughts and opinions of the University of Michigan are as good a
substitute as any.

We dumb.

We no good.

We win in November.


I Bush gets another four, we all lose in November.

And don't worry about being "dumb" or "no good". Being bright, industrious, or
ethical
are of no consequence in an election. All you need be is more numerous.
