And my extremely Liberal Poly Sci professors, but the exact numbers are something like 55% of college graduates voted for Bush in 04, vice-versa for those who didnt graduate high school. This should be common Knowledge. Sorry i dont have an exact link but just search for voting trends and i will be proven right.

You make a compelling well documented argument. I see why your contemporaries say Republicans are the party of reason and Democrats are the party of feelings.

I disagree 100%. I teach at a large university (28,000 students in the undergraduate program) and the overwhelming majority of them are anti-Bush, anti-Republican. The graduate program in most departments are almost all anti-Bush. And the faculty is almost unanimous in their dislike of Bush and most of them have Phds. I know of two Republican faculty members at the university and while I don't know everyone obviously, they are part of a very small minority. Even the campus Young Republicans couldn't find a faculty sponsor this year - doesn't that tell you something?
To say that a majority of people with a college education voted for Republicans is to do them a great disservice. If you'd care to provide more solid information than a textbook - like perhaps several textbooks or some solid research that has been published - then your point might have more validity.

That does not surprise me.
Not really in the least. What I find interesing- it gets me thinking how whenever we discuss concerns for education - -and even just the future for the whole generation of children to grow and look forward to generally...
The dialogue on education always implicitly relies on a presumption that everyone ought to be going to expensive college-level stuff.
What your question indicates to me almost more than anything Is simply that a lot of people realize they're not really "into" that as soon as they get through the high-schooling and probably just want to take in some skill-courses here or there as needed.
College ends up being a little bit more about how-to-act than what-to-learn anyway. Learning is much more just a matter of reading & thinking ability, along with determination and time.
Most of the experience that plays role in what you've learned didn't come from the academic-bubble anyway.
And on the short side.
No. I didn't know that.
It's interesting.

Actually, according to the results of the 2004 election, you are mostly incorrect.
College graduates split evenly between Bush and Kerry, while non college grads went for Bush 53% - 47%.
Broken down further it shows that people with Bachelor's degrees went for Bush 52%-46%, but people with post-graduate degrees went for Kerry 55%-44%.

I would expect people with a college degree to make the right choices, but i guess that depends on the person. Just in case you are right, if I was republican I would vote for free college degrees for all.

Most College professors are liberal.

MOST... that's rediculous... there are science majors, education majors, english majors, art majors, music majors, communication majors and many more that vote almost EXCLUSIVELY democrat...
and it's always said that colleges are "liberal," so these "liberal" institutions are churning out Republicans? it just doesn't make any sense...
there clearly are some... but no where near most...
if you're going to blatantly lie... at least make it believable...
EDIT: ok... 55 percent... I can buy that... but that's far from most in my book

Where's the evidence? Some of that may come from the fact that more college graduates make the kind of money that republicans support (the rich).

Yes, they are more educated. These people understand capitlaism and understand how this government and nation was formed. They will take time to reseach items.
