- Intellectuals tend to vote Democrat.
- People who vote Democrat tend to be intellectuals.

Originally posted by savage4731How can your claim "As education level increased McCain got a greater percentage of the vote" not be wrong when those at the highest educational level voted for Obama at higher percentages than those at the immediately preceding educational level?
No, you made an assertion that you thought I was wrong which was quickly dismissed in my next post after that.
Sure, YOU dismissed it, but you are a stubborn, irrational fool.
Originally posted by FMFWhat assertion are you talking about? I stated a fact that democrats are less educated and proved that with data from exit polls. There never was an assertion.

Originally posted by savage4731You "proved" this by exit polls that showed that Obama won 58% of the vote from those with post graduate education?

"The whole idea of someone being called both intellectual and liberal just seems so contradictory to me. I can't even imagine someone being both. Its bizarre to even think about."
Is it true or false that you cannot imagine there being such a thing as a "liberal intellectual"?
Originally posted by FMFI wouldn't consider someone an intellectual if they called themselves a liberal. Just by them saying they're a liberal I know they don't understand economics and are probably shaky in some other areas like history.
Are you claiming you have never read a book or attended a lecture by a liberal intellectual?
I'm not saying I havent but...
