I think most highly educated people are liberal...most professors and people with phd's, in my experience, are liberal. I'm sure someone can google this. The only prominent exception I can think of would be economics phds who are generally conservative. I can't think of another discipline that is notoriously conservative. 

And then you have Billy Bob and Jethro who love their guns and think the goverment should stay out of their lives so they can drive their atvs down the highway and canoodle with their cousins.

Stereotypes maybe, but I think there's a partial truth to liberals being at least more educated then conservatives.



And then they kindly fetch you your walker and mash up all your food for you, right?

Why do you hate guns so much?  I went shooting the other day and I had a blast (no pun intended).

You'll find that republicans are well represented among college graduates and especially among professional degrees, where they make money. The left is also well represented among the poor, hardly bastions of strong education.

I have no statistics to  back myself up, but the Democratic Party, in my academic experiences, in general DOMINATES the science, technological, mathematical, and medicine fields (which are the most important fields).

The right is, I daresay, better represented among the poor, especially in the south, but it's honestly hard to say cause most people don't even know what the fuck the difference between conservative and liberal is.

Republican presidential nominees typically lose the low-income vote, dominate the middle to middle upper class, and split the very rich. As for your important fields, I don't know why those would give anyone more credibility than an economist or, in practical experience, someone with an MBA.

In addition to economics I think people in business and law are more likely to be conservative.
