When they played the music between speakers, the Republicans looked stiff
and awkward trying to dance, the democrats were having a ball, dancing and
enjoying themselves.

It may be that the choice in music has something to do with that.


If I wanted to go out and party, I would definitely want to go out with the
democratic crowd. If I needed some professional services, I would want the
Republican crowd.

So, based on vague "looks" and choice of music/dancing ability, you feel
you "want" Republicans for "professional services." Like what, for example?


It is obvious that the democrats go out of their way to appeal to stupid
people.

It is obvious that you cannot write a proper & complete sentence in the
English language. Did you graduate from high school? Did you graduate
from school high?

To claim that your prejudices in "looks" and type of attire, and your
taste in music, justify claiming that 'democrats go out of their way to
appeal to stupid people' is really funny.

You're another undercover communist operative like Nobby, aren't you?

DSK,

I thought it was obvious, that I was using Gould's tactics of making a
statement and then running with it as if it was fact.

It is consistently shown that Republicans have a higher education level than
Democrats, since Doug and Gould did not want to accept these survey's, I
used the same type of "gut feel" logic that Gould and Doug were using.

Obviously, it was only obvious to me.

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.

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.

http://plsc.uark.edu/arkpoll/fall99/party/PAGE4.HTM

"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.

That is such a loaded question.

The democrats of course.


Nah, it'd be top posting republicans. After all, it's the republicans
who automatically follow whatever their leader tells them, and NEVER,
EVER question the party. That right there tells me that they, for the
most part, can't think for themselves.

The National Election Studies conducted by the University of Michigan shows
the average education level of Republicans is substantially higher than
democrats.

If you go to their web site, you will the study is not an endorsement of
either party, it is a very scientific study to track long term trends in US
politics and voters. They make no judgment on either party or those who
vote for one party over another.

Do you have any proof that " .. it's the republicans who automatically
follow whatever their leader tells them, and NEVER, EVER question the
party."

Do you have any proof that republicans follow their party line anymore than
the average democrats?
The facts show democrats on the average have less education than
republicans, are less successful financially than republicans, and are less
informed and educated on the current political issues than the republicans.
I have documented this proof with unbiased studies conducted by colleges in
an effort to understand US politics, not as an endorsement of any party or
candidate.

Like Gould, you are pulling crap out of your ass, and presenting it as fact.

As far as my top posting, I do that because I use OE for a newsreader. It
is also very common for those affiliated with either party to top post.
Talk about someone grasping at straws.

They know they are going to lose. They are desperate. It is actually quite
funny to read their posts.

I was surprised when Gould told me he did not want to discuss facts, but
wanted to discuss my opinion on who was less educated and who was using more
negative ads in getting out their message. I was surprised when Gould
wanted to argue the fact that just because Republicans have more formal
educated it does not prove they are more intelligent, because if they were
more intelligent they would be voting for Kerry. He wanted to dispute the
fact that those with more formal education were more inclined to become
informed voters, vs voting based upon 30 sec ads and quick sound bites and
strictly based upon party affiliation.

It shows that Gould has allowed the fact that it appears that Kerry will
lose to get the better of him and he is putting the blinder on very tight.

You really are a first class Republican, aren't you?

I never said, "if they were more intelligent they would be voting for Kerry."

But lack of factual base hasn't stopped anybody subscribing to your philosophy
from making phony charges, lately, has it?

If you have to make up crap to support one part of your argument, all the point
that depend on that one are crap as well.

That is your *opinion*, not a fact.

Another right wing trick: Anything you believe is a "fact", all that those who
disagree can claim is an "opinion".
