Then why do 51% of scientists call themselves liberal and 80% lean dem while only 6% lean pub.Scientist deal in facts. That is their stock and trade. Scientists are not pubs because they deal in facts and know pubs do not.One good example is evolution. Over 50% of pubs do not beleive in it while virtually all libs do.Global warming, most conservaitve pubs do not beleive in it and almost all liberals do.Those are facts; and you are posting pretty pure right wing stuff again, not center.

If you were dealing with "Facts", you would know that you are using faulty logic. First, your 51%/80% number is from a group that already self selects for liberal members. It is actually part of their charter. Second, the only qualification to be listed as a "scientist" is to claim to be one. The poll also excludes medical doctors who are undeniably scientists. And finally, even if the 51% number was true, there is no transitive property that would suggest that other liberals have the same qualities that those scientists have. So, while you claim to deal with facts, you have used faulty logic based on specious information.
