I have read them. I can only read so much stuff. I can choose between Salman Rushdie, Voltair or Readers digest. I read what I consider to be the best posters, best books and best thinkers. And the best thinkers are usually on the left. Think about it Chinu 51% of scientists are liberal. Over 80% lean democratic and only 6% are Republican. You know full well those are astounding statistics. If you apply a simple t test the degree of probability rejecting the null hypothesis would be about .000000001-lol. So what is the variable? It is education and thinking. Scientists think and they are liberal because liberals think. The Republicans hate thinking and so have Palin and Bachman and Rick Santorum-lol. Bachman is leading in iowa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111-lol Libertarians do not understand reality, IMO and moderates are confused, IMO. <<koan, you are very aware of the saying "You can take a horse to the water.....". The situation here, wherein you are asking me the question, is very similar. If you devoted just a fraction of the time that you spend reading the ultra partisan bloggers from the left towards towards reading some politically balanced POVs, you would have seen some of the good political moves that Obama has made. His press conference today was brilliant. He came across as the one where he wanted to sincerely resolve the deficit problem but the others do not. By doing so, he reinforced his re election prospects.
