I guess it's safe to say that those who are employed as rural meth dealers, monster truck jackers and trailer park gangstahs lean to the more conservative side of the spectrum.

Then I'd say they vote for the type of politician who promises to give them the most free stuff.
Can't say I read about many, or any, monster truck jackings.
Fields such as technology, arts, entertainment, education, as well as other creative and advancement positions are held by those who are generally more liberal, while fields that deal with greed, power, and cronyism such as the banking industry, arms manufactures, big oil and Wall Street appeal more towards conservatives.
Large banking and financial services firms are actually among the biggest contributors to Obama. In the 2008 election, three of the top seven largest donors to Obama's campaign were Goldman Sachs ($1,013,091), JP Morgan and Chase ($808,799), and Citigroup Inc. ($736,771).
Two of the five largest donors were high-technology companies - Microsoft ($852,167) and Google ($814,540).
This table lists the top donors to this candidate in the 2008 election cycle. The organizations themselves did not donate, rather the money came from the organization's PAC, its individual members or employees or owners, and those individuals' immediate families. Organization totals include subsidiaries and affiliates.
This is a very stupid question. It varies, but if you call yourself a liberal/progressive and work for a CORPORATION, you are a damn hypocrite to begin with. Oh that's right, the Left just LOVES to bite the hand that feeds them.
I think most of them are liberal. Most tech companies support liberal causes.
In my career I have met ONE engineer I would consider liberal. All the rest I worked with would be considered conservative, at least from a fiscal standpoint. I will say that the ones I work with are in manufacturing companies, with a bias towards mechanical engineering, rather than programming.
Many engineers reject the religious right as a fantasy, and the socialist, wealth redistributing left as idiots. As such, they don't typically fit either mold.
That's the problem with intelligent people...they tend to think for themselves and not fit a mold.
I am a software engineer, and every company I have worked for are a mix of both. Of course in the real world people are much more in the middle than here on CD where everyone seems to be fringe one or the other. I don't know too many people out here who made such a big deal out of politics. I think conservatives tend to find themselves employed by the government. Yes, I know, - ironic.
The engineers I know are libertarians. Oh, and calling banking "conservative" because it's about greed is ignorant. Obama got huge donations from bulge bracket banks.
If conservatives had their way, we would all still be using a model of the universe where the sun was going around the earth. It isn't surprising that most enineers and scienists are liberal since most great discoveries require radical new thoughts and free thinking that is away from outdated traditions.

Who cares, not everything in this world is a polically partisan issue.
