How many political conservatives must I talk to before I have talked to most of them? Once I know that then I'll know if most of them are the least informed. Of course I will also have to talk to the non political conservatives as well to know if the most of them are less informed or more informed. You must be exhausted from all the research you must have done in order to claim that most are the least informed!

The least informed huh??? And what makes you so sure that the information that you have been feed is the Truth?
As a conservative I can tell you that I only assume I'm right when I am debating an issue with a liberal or democrat and they fail to backup what they are saying, or when they try and find a way out of the debate. I don't want anyone to necessarily agree with me, but would rather them at least hear me out... Which the Left seem to have trouble doing. Conservatives like Facts!!! Liberals fail to deliver Facts.

Why are you generalizing about a group of people and calling THEM uneducated?
There are morons on both sides. Ever hear a college kid lash out against Bush because it's cool?
But if I were to agree with you, I would say bc a lot of conservs are religious and they know their religion whether or not they know the issues. Bc of issues like abortion and gay marriage,they almost always have to side with conservatives. And liberals most often oppose religions groups and alienate them. That's all the education some conservatives need.

This question coming from San Francisco? The belly of the liberal beast???? Please tell me you're being serious...
Most political conservatives are well-informed. However (just like the liberals), they choose what to believe. Do they expect everyone to agree with them? No more than liberals expect everyone to agree with them....
Listen to some talk shows - any of them. Who's doing the screaming? Certainly not the conservatives...
One problem with liberals is they have historically favored redistribution of wealth (ie, it's not fair that so-and-so makes so much money - we should tax the rich more and give it to the poor).... that's called socialism. They've generally favored big government programs - as opposed to the conservatives who have generally wanted less government intrusion in their lives.
Opinions are like a$$holes - everyone's got one. But don't ever tell me my opnion is wrong or I don't know whta I'm talking about - because I'll bet you my next 10 paychecks that I can support my opnions based on my own research and facts.... as opposed to many of the liberals/hollywood types who are NOT productive/working members of society.
Where are the most liberals? Big cities.
Where is the highestpoverty rate per square mile? Big cities.
Where are the most Democrats? Big cities.
Where is the highest crime rate? Big cities.
Which areas of the country are dirtiest? Big cities.
Get the picture?
Conservatives do their research - obviously, I'm generalizing. But liberals have generally limited their research to the talk shows - rather than doing independent research.

LOL, you're right. If you don't agree with them then you are an atheist liberal leftist commie socialist feminazi treasonist anti-American welfare recipient. It's Ironic that they think criticizing the Bush administration is the same thing as being anti-American. I remember alot of numbnuts during the Nixon administration thinking the same infantile way.
I find it equally ironic that they want to unite the country, but it always has to be according to their terms. Otherwise, no matter who you are politically (a disagreeing conservative or liberal) you will be labeled as an atheist liberal leftist commie socialist feminazi treasonist anti-American welfare recipient.
I've posted so many articles and links to newspaper sites, news sites (even FOX), and science organizations that do valid research to back up my arguments and they still complain that liberals don't back up their claims. We do back them up but they aren't always from the FOX or Drudge echo chamber like they keep their heads in. Yet, they never back up their arguments. Or, if they do, it's from a blog.
If you become a conservative after you turn 30, you just stopped paying attention to what has been going on. It doesn't have anything to do with growing up. You actually digress if you do that. BTW, more and more people are staying liberal these days. There are no good conservative roll models.
All I can say is thank GOD for California.
Fred P.... what liberal talk shows are you talking about? There aren't any. Geesuz, you reactionary cons have a corner on the market when it comes to talk shows: Limbaugh, Coulter, Hannity, and the idiot Elizabeth on FOX and the View. My god, she's absolute proof how stupid and uninformed the conservatives are in this country.

If there was an ounce of knowledge in your question, you would know that Conservatives pride themselves on being informed. And we sure as hell do not expect everyone to agree with us! Ergo, your whole premise is "out the door".

Are you kidding? Compare the latest presidential debates. The Republican contenders sounded well informed and referenced history, economic theory, policy, details of legislation, etc. The Democrats sounded confused, evaded questions, and spoke nonsense (like price setting).
Maybe it's not the conservatives who are uniformed, but yourself.

Thats strange, because most real informed Liberals become conservatives. Maybe what you are talking about when you say "informed" is informed by the conspiracy theories??

because the most left-winged liberals are exactly the same, so they know they don't have to put up any competition, they are both retarded. Let's be "United" States again, this whole two sided extremist political war is ridiculous, and I am tired of it.

Please ...
Maybe if you generalize a bit more...
If there were more politicians with out your method of thinking we could accomplish much more in this great country.
Marginalizing and taking pot shots at the "opposition" is a weak minded strategy and shows a lack of knowledge on your part.
Sorry truth hurts.
