Hmm, the "typical" Republican voter is college educated. It's the Democrats that wins the didn't complete high school or just a high school graduate voter. See, I actually have numbers to show that - something I see you didn't bother to look up. Demographics of How Groups Voted in the 2012 Presidential Election
I never said the "typical" Republican wasn't college education, maybe you should reread what I actually wrote.
I'm a "right-winger" and I don't think any university should be abolished, but I am against government funding of colleges and universities. I am also against government involvement in financial aid. I think government subsidization is discriminatory against those who do not go to college/university.
I am university educated (4 year degree). I went to a private university and did not receive any government (ie. taxpayer) subsidy.
When did I say that? No, I doubt elected Republicans would want to do that seeing all of them have been to college. It is typically the Republican voters that lack anything above a high school degree would want something like that. Good thing they are usually to dumb to ever run for office.

I will give you that. It was indeed another that wrote that earlier upthread. My mistake.

Bingo, this is how it would be properly worded for Republicans to support. They don't want to close down public universities, just take away all their public funding and deny students financial aid.

So by your own admission, College makes you liberal.. (even if what you said is true, and its not, the admission is histerical considering you argue its Republicans who usually try to make that argument)..
Oooh I've learned one thing, let a liberal mouth off long enough and they will prove a conservatives point every dam time while displaying their ignorance on almost every topic.
Social liberal, fiscal conservative here. I would vote NO.
Many of our state universities are the crown jewels of our public education system. Why? Competitive admissions. Students ARE grouped by skill level/ability/achievement level. Makes many of them top post-secondary education institutions in the world. They're a DIRECT contrast to our country's K-12 public schools, which refuse to group and educate students according to their motivation/skill level/ability.
We have one public education system (state universities) that's working extraordinarily well in terms of educational outcomes, and another (public K-12) that is an underperforming disaster. Not hard to see why...
