I wonder if the fact that most of the least educated states align with the R's and most of the most educated states align with the D's? Do you think this is significant in any way? The really dumb vote R and the really smart vote D, generally speaking. Hmmm

I wonder if the fact that most of the very fat states (weight of residents) generally align with the R's and the thinner states align with D's. Do you think this is significant in any way? The really fat and out of shape generally vote R, and the less fat generally vote D. hmmmm

Might one conclude that generally speaking fat dumb people are usually the R's and well you know....

Oh and btw, this is factual. Look it up. The stats that is.

I am pretty sure that most if not all of these states are usually R. Am I wrong?

[jon101]

Actually thats not true I went to school in Florida, and its a very republican state.

Other than Michigan and West Virginia [Although they elect mostly Conservative Democrats], they are all Republican strongholds.

[Hotdiggity11]

Although I chalk it up more to Southern food culture [Eating a bunch of unhealthy food that tastes good] than anything to do with Republican/Democrat.

Yes, I know that. But how does this fact relate to that chart or to what I am saying. I must be missing something.

I am not saying why they are fat, I am simply making an observation that these same fat, uneducated people usually vote R. Now, I don't know if stupid people vote R or if R are just stupid people. That is a difficult one to figure.

Hot

Thank you, you are absolutely correct.

[yisman]

The least educated actually generally vote Democrat.

Those without a HS education, for example. The same holds true for people with at least a PhD (generally vote Democrat).

here's a breakdown

[dante1]

Those numbers don't seem to jive with the facts that the South which is the least educated part of the country is strong R and the East which is generally D is more educated. Those are facts, not sure if those numbers in the chart are.

[Facepunch]

Yes all dumb people vote Republican. I saw some real winners who were crazy about "Obama Money"
and all fat people too.
pretty snobby elitist post .
congrats.
I want to see the numbers on snobby elitist look down your nose at the rest of the world people and if they live in blue states.

until you get the numbers on that I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for coming off of your high horse long enough to dole out some life lessons to us mere plebes.

carry on.

Cool your jets! It was mostly tongue in cheek. Dumb people don't understand that though.

In actuality, this past election may have changed the dynamics some because of Obama's race. I don't know that for sure because I don't know the figures.

[Facepunch]

most of what I said was tongue in cheek too.

so there

now who is the dumb one?

You can find uneducated people in many regions. However, the United States can easily be divided up into tons of subsections, each with a different culture, philosophical/political beliefs, and needs that need fulfillment. The Southern states [Almost always Republican] have their own culture that extends back to the days when they were Democratic.

Your "facts" are nothing. Overall states stats are worthless. A lot of the least educated voters in "strong R" states vote Democrat. That's a fact.

Why would you look at states overall and generalize when you can look at individuals? It's been proven again and again that voters with the lowest amounts of education vote Democrat. You want the results from previous presidential elections? I have those.

The strongest Democrat groups are voters without a HS diploma and voters with a PhD and above.

[yisman]

The only groups George W. Bush lost to John Kerry in:

No High School

Postgrad study

[andywend]

Spending half of your life behind a desk in a classroom like Dante did doesn't mean you are a better more informed person.

It means you were extremely lazy and didn't want to get off your rear end and get a real job (Physicians, certain lawyers excluded).

Instead of compiling a useless statistic based on how many years one spent in school, a better indicator would be to break down voting patterns by INCOME earned.

While left-wing lunatics like Dante hate to hear this, the truth is your success is defined by how much money you make and what you produce for the country. Those like him that made the decision to sit in school half their lives aren't contributing anything for society and are sucking up taxpayer dollars as well.

The failures in our society (the poor) OVERWHELMINGLY vote democratic. The middle class is pretty evenly split between democrats and the republicans with the upper middle class voting overwhelmingly republican.

As far as the wealthy is concerned, those that made their money through hard work vote republican and those who inherited it vote democratic with some exceptions of course.

The democrats want to take the wealth of the rich and redistribute it to the poor while the republicans are against any redistribution of wealth.

If you're a FAILURE or a government employee, it makes sense to vote democratic. If you're hard working with a job in the private sector, you're far better off voting republican.

The question is which group is more important to our society?
The FAILURES and the government employees or the hard working people in the private sector that produce everything.

The answer to this question is obvious which is why the further our country moves to the left, the more unproductive our country is going to become.

[jon101]

Well lets be honest neither side wants you to know the truth otherwise you wouldn't waste your time voting.
