>> Only 6% of Scientist's are Republican, and most are liberals. Why?

Surely, that cannot be a serious question.


Professors -- who never dealt with the problems of government -- are uniformly blue. Why? Because they are dealing with the difficulty of running a business, having to deal with the federal bureaucracy, watching their money taken to give to other people who don't work nearly as hard, either. Essentially, the BLUE "professors" were hired to do a job and the only thing they seek is a moderate paycheck and tenure. It is a pathetic thing that these people end up being teachers -- people who don't even know what they're teaching about.

OTOH, among physicians, the smartest tend to cluster among high-paying specialties. Which is probably the reason they are high-paying. I've known an inordinate number of physicians in that category. They do their jobs, manage their money, and vote Republican. For the most part. Because they understand that hard work only pays off if government gets out of the way, and these people do not want government getting in the way of their hard work and excellent work product.
