Overeducated and uneducated voters

I blog a lot here about the impact of politics on education. Here's James Taranto writing about the impact of education on politics, in the forrm of an analysis of how education correlated with voting Democrat or Republican in the Arnie Californian Recal election.

The Democratic "base," it seems, can be found at the extreme edges of the bell curve, consisting of a small number of uneducated voters and a large number of overeducated ones.

By "overeducated" I take it he means "educated a lot", rather than "educated too much". Or then again …

Kids are idiots. I once listened to a Sean Hennedy radio broadcast where he had a reporter person attend the crowds outside the Democratic convention and he tricked them into thinking they were voting for Jim Kerney and Stu Ped instead of John Kerry and John Edwards, respectively. That is very sad.

Sean Hennedy has such tunnel vision and so antiamerican. He refuses to look at what the military is using in Iraq (heaps of junk machines, humvees, weapons that don't work etc). He is anti american because he is trying to divide this country up. He is exploiting Christmas believers that only a right winger believes in Christmas and the leftist don't. That is so stupid. It is all about christians verses non christians. He is also trying to do away with social security. There are too many poor americans that depend on social security and that live paycheck to paychek that can't afford to put away huge amounts for retirement. I wish I had his emailing address but I can't find it on the web, if you have please send it to me thanks dana

Hi Dana
You said it in one word: Sean Hennedy is a tunnel. He can only see one side of the light and is adamant on his views. The fact that he is not receptive to accept any thoughts, other than what he decides and makes up the night before, is so appalling that I think he could easily be leading Germany in the 40s with a small moustache and justify the mass murder.

His views on war of Iraq and his anti-Kerry remarks (read: anything that Bush is correct) among others only demeans and degrades himself. He is a good talker but his arrogance only negates whatever plus he may have.
