I wonder why educated America votes for democrats? Is it because education teaches you to be open to new ideas? My dictionary defines liberal as broad-minded and not bound by authoritarianism.

No wonder Mary Fallin and Janet Barressi want to destroy public education in Oklahoma. It is a strategy to get re-elected.

Or, more to the point, that educated voters just vote differently:



Even more to the point that we are giving diplomas to people who don't deserve them.

Indoctrination, especially at the college level.  If you don't write your essays in line with the liberal doctrine, you get poor grades.  Many otherwise intelligent students never recover.

Democrats have won five of the last six popular votes for president.

Democrats have only won more than 50% of the popular vote in the last two.

The definition of liberal in my dictionary is also appealing.  Too bad it doesn't transfer to the real world of politics.

Is this your lame attempt to make the republicans look like winners?

Look at the scoreboard. Your party is losing.

Holy crap. Just two years ago the dems took a historic beating. And as for scoreboards, I'd say Oklahoma is doing just fine. That's where you live by the way. And, that's where I think most that post here live.

No.  Maybe one or two isolated incidents - much like with any Gaussian distribution, but I have written essays from TCC to OSU to TU from the mid 70's to the late, late 80's, with a definitely not so liberal bent and never had an issue.  Think gun control and lifetime NRA membership, and balanced budget amendment.

Have had some serious follow on discussions about them, too.  Always got A's.  Have since moderated my views on balanced budget amendment somewhat.  Not the Second Amendment.

I don't share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently.  I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

I am no fan of public education either. And I dare say I am better educated that you. I am better educated than many regulars in here. So by your thinking I am always right. Oh, and my better half is more educated than I am. So she is super right.

Tell us again about your college experience since you apparently know so much about it.

Not me...I live part time in Tralfamadore where I can exist freely outside of Dumbf@$kistan. The other half I live in denial.

Good thing I couldn't give less of a damn about you or where you live.

If a bad grade on an essay is all it takes for someone never to recover, then they actually were NOT otherwise intelligent students.  Come on, Red, you have done better than that - you have done in the past!!

Listen to these geniuses. They vote like you do.





And before you think about linking to a right wing loon to do the ol' straw man dance, remember, you are the one pushing how intelligent dem voters are.
