Need a breakdown of the education of voters
Those who vote Democratic and Republican. A person here in my office states that registered Republicans are more educated than Democrats. I have seen on this site info to the contrary. Anyone have a link or links? Thanks.

1. Just the opposite. The more years of education, the more liberal.

Here's a ppt analysis on MN demographics that was done after 2004.

2. I read that the more liberal the higher the education
Rich people always think they are smart so maybe that is where the guy gets his thinking. Would be interesting to know so hunt up some figures.

3. It's a bell curve
People at the lowest end (high school and below) and highest end (advanced degrees) vote for Democrats.

The middle leans towards Republicans.

4. Education in kindness
Education is not the factor, it is heart. Whatever takes it for a person
to uncover and polish their heart is what it takes... for some its education,
for some its jesus, for some its nature... they can all get you to wanting
justice and loving and respecting life.

Common sense may not be education, but it is common sense to not want criminals in power,
it is common sense to wish to be led by the wisest amongst us. Progressive is
not learned, it is innate. It uncovers itself.
