education has nothing to do with common sense or reasonability.

If you're a structural engineer, are you going to take advise for your building from youtube comments?

There's a certain point where the person arguing with you is so clueless on the topic that reasoning with them is pointless. This tends to go both ways in politics.

Common sense brings us 30 caliber magazine clips that fire 30 rounds per half second from ghost guns. I really dislike that term.

This is why it's always hilarious to watch a creationist try to debate a biologist. It's like watching a liberal try to debate a gun owner.

^^^winner. Books smarts don't mean you have a clue how to best run the country. Scientists are highly educated. Educational institutions are highly liberal...see the link?

I suspect Republican scientists rarely self identify because of the discrimination they would be sure to encounter in their workplaces if they did. On a humorous note (albeit containing more than a small amount of truth), scientists are one of the two groups that rely almost entirely upon government grants for their subsistence - and both groups are largely comprised of Democrats.

And expertise in one area doesn't say anything about your expertise in another. Part of the problem with too many educated people is that they think they are smarter than everyone less educated rather than just better educated in their field. And I have a PhD in a STEM field, and this is observation on my part.

I'm ready for Hillary, too. My supply of air sickness bags is good to go.

Blanket statements again? Okay, I'll play.. and Conservatives are so bass ackwards that they can't even put forth a candidate that their own party will vote for...

Maybe, but Democrats don't ever put up a candidate that their party won't vote for...of course there is no candidate that their party won't vote for. So which group is worse?

I saw this in Walmart today.

Turd Sandwich vs Giant Douche, the 2016 political showdown. Who will be the next President of the United States?

About three weeks ago, I saw a car with this bumper sticker..."Obama 2016"

It was next to the Obama 2012 and Obama 08 stickers.

A male was driving it.

The car was a clunker.

There is still time to repeal the 22nd amendment. I wouldn't put it past the current admin to try it.

Gotta throw the BS flag.

I've got 30 years working with engineers and scientists all over the country and in other countries. That's total BS. Their "poll" must have been done at a university.

Saw this at the pharmacy today.....on the back of a poop brown fiat

...and just WHAT were you doing in Bloomington?

But those people can't be scientists because they aren't members of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, who the Pew Research center partnered with to do the survey...and whose members were the primary source of data.

Ah! I got it now. My mistake.

I would - seriously now - make it clear that a good number of scientists (the real ones, that work, not university profs with tenure) are independent. It's just how we do things, you remember, think for ourselves. There's a good number of them that are fiscally conservative even though they may be socially liberal. BUT I would say the vast - VAST - majority of the ones I know and work with are fiscally conservative and keep the rest to their own business.
