You can't be serious. The percentage of minority and poor voters that are uneducated is becoming more and more part the democrat vote base with higher percentage of the total percentage then any other voting block by leaps and bounds. They are effectively getting their asses handed to them on every other democratic across the board. They need the poor, they need people to need them, they need the uneducated in economics, history, and freedom to even consider for a moment to vote democrat. I don't like the republicans and I would never vote them either, but to even say for a moment that democratic party is about brains is beyond dishonest and goes right into ignorance.

As long as we're talking about dishonesty and ignorance, how about making the exact same point that I just blew out of the water 6 posts ago without even responding to me?

Failing to link to the data behind your chart makes it not worth my time.

Link to the source so I can see the data. I'm not about to look it up myself.

Why should I do your work for you? I've presented evidence. If you want to find some evidence to counter it, go find some. I think you know it won't support your position, though.

Its the entire basis of your argument. Maybe that is why you should do the work.

I don't for a second pretend to think that education = intelligence. However, the average liberal IS more educated than the average conservative. This really isn't a debatable point. I also remember a study that another poster cited awhile ago that said that the average self-identifying liberal is 6% more wealthy than the average self-professed conservative. Of course, that's just one study, but your notion that the liberal core base consists primarily of parasitic government dependents who simply want to take more from the rich is arguably false.

You've also fallen into the trap of making the bogus assumption that I meant educated to mean smart, and that liberal = Democratic.

I haven't really shifted my political stances on most issues in any significant way since I can first remember having political stances (although I have changed what party I identified as several times, until finally settling for Independent).

I don't think "shifts" in ideology come due to age but rather what the stances were based on in the first place and whether that base has changed, and what their values are and how they want those values reflected in laws or how the law restricts those values.
 
44.

Looking at the results I can't help but be elated to see so much youth interested in politics. It give me hope that the next generation will be in good hands. Furthermore, I commed those over 60 who participate in this (or any) internet forum. You make the old adage "old and set in their way" seem to be a misconception.
 
I am a little surprised at the number of young people on this site.

I thought for sure the Average age would be in the 40s or so.

I am heartened to know that among these numbers there are some young Conservatives with a good head on their shoulders.
 
I turned 35 in June. That said, I got abs, finish every race in the top 5%, and guys that are 20 years old usually cant run or bike with me.

Don't worry. You will soon be one of those people that come here during the school year to get out of doing homework. Sort of like what I did my senior year.
