That's because it exposes their willful ignorance.
I think the real reason they tell themselves this is they want to be able to justify never listening to anything we have to say. It's simply an excuse for intellectual laziness; if the other side is so uneducated, then why consider any of their views? Makes it much easier to fall in line...
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.
Anything else you want to share?
I said colleges make people more liberal? No I know you are just making things up.
Haha, nah, I don't think the current list of 19 are lying, it is way too early. If you want to see the real numbers, wait until the late night hours when the real far right wingers start going to town on the site.
Looks like your real far right wingers showed up...borregokid and shabbazz....
It would also be nice if you didn't have to waste more than 1/2 the time you spend in "higher education" wasted on classes that do nothing but indoctrinate student's into the Marxist philosophy, the classes that teach hatred towards whites, revisionist history, stupid PE classes, (one friend of mine had to take bowling as a class ) while you waste time and resources and funding on those totally useless classes instead of learning whatever your chosen discipline is.
I also have a degree in engineering. The diploma is in a drawer somewhere, I don't look at it as an achievement, rather a high priced waste of most of my money and time spent to get it. I do fine with engineering, but all those classes I was forced to take to have a "well rounded" education had the exact opposite effect on me from the desired purpose, in other words, it made me so disgusted with the liberal agenda, I could never knowingly support any of that agenda, ever.
College should be where you hone your skills and master the necessary foundation to find work. Instead, most of my "classmates" used it as an opportunity to party, drink, ***** around, go to foot ball games, and in general waste 4+ more years while mommy and daddy paid their bills.
I worked 2 jobs as well as carry a full credit load to get my education. The classes that were relevant to my discipline, math, physics, molecular structure, chemistry, Electronic theory etc. were good. The social classes and make work classes for the benefit of some tenured professor that wasn't even there for most of the classes because they let their assistants pass out the assignments, were a complete waste of time and money.
I am not against higher education, I am against waste and forced indoctrination.
It's not forced. Attending college is optional. Not to mention students typically have some choices in classes, professors, etc. The basic/core classes are about broadening one's mind and expanding one's horizons. College is about education; it isn't a trade school. Broadening one's mind and expanding one's horizons does not necessarily make one more liberal. (No, my degree is not in the liberal arts area.)
I actually had some *gasp* conservative professors in college. I attended a large state university, not some private Christian school or anything.

I am university educated (4 year degree). I went to a private university and did not receive any government (ie. taxpayer) subsidy.
I don't know what to say to this. We need an educated populace.
Maybe they are like Obama himself and "hit the wrong button"....like he did in the state senate on votes.....six times.
At least they didnt vote "present", 129 times..
They are currently trying to figure out how to get around the phantom photo ID required to vote on the poll as we speak so they can pump the numbers up..
It is typically the Republican voters that lack anything above a high school degree
Actually, of those who lack a high school diploma, 64% vote Democrat.

Democrats absolutely depend on undereducated voters to win elections and maintain political power.
