Hmm...where to begin? Oh right, here's ANOTHER generalization. Which actually happens to be wrong. More people with college educations vote republican, HOWEVER more people with graduate degrees vote Democrat. Which, yes, means people with a higher education ALWAYS vote democrat! Oh, wait, NO! Actually it means that more than 50 % of those out of graduate school vote Democrat, this certainly cannot be assumed to mean "OH, well smart people vote democrat and dumb people vote Republican!" I've met smart and stupid people from both sides of the political spectrum. It is unfair and unsound to make your argument. Besides, those with Graduate degrees in ECONOMICS usually vote republican. There are exceptions to every rule, so it's not a great idea to present this as if it should end any discussion.
