I am not sure if this thread has more than 1 OP, but I will say that Americans are suckers if they vote for Romney. He will be just as greedy and corrupt as Bush was.

MITT=WALL ST.(If they can't see that there blind). Actually they should change mitts name to wall st. It's like Gordan Gekko running for the presidency.

not a fan of obama but holy sh-t.

A lot of amercans are suckers spurgeonryan. They vote because of hate of black, hispanic and the likes. they think it's them that crashed us, not nonstop politicians from the 80's to present being corporatist and wall st owned, rigging the game for the ubber rich. The tax code is very complex and only allows a tenth of the 1% to actually use the loop holes and cheat the fuck out of our system and people can't figure out why where broke. us middle class don't need a complex tax code. only the super rich do. It should be the bigger your profits the more you can afford. if it's a small bizz they get a smaller percent and so on. However the middle class small bizz is paying all the tax's while the big corps/people are paying nothing. I'm middle class and and pay bills, property tax's and the like. I know what I'm talking about but I bet all these people rent or live with mommy still and have it all figured out, they think it is someone from the other race running there life's. F-cking hate rules this country.

When you vote by hate rather then actually economic sense or morals, we are in big trouble.

Also you want to know who the republican base is. LOL a report came out and most Republicans are.

MALE, NON EDUACATED, WHITE MIDDLE/POOR CLASS, I will add mostly all racists, homophobic, woman haters. LOL, really who can deny it. Just read there bills. Transvaginal probing to name one. All woman being basically raped to do what she thinks in her best interest. Majority of eduacted White Males vote other wise. I'm white and would never vote republican. LOL Dems are not much better but hey there is a difference. They protect Medicare, unions, SS, Medicade and the working man. Well they have to do a better job on the middle class. However this is the corporatist in the party.

I agree most with the vermont progressive party.

If you haven't been paying attention the Obama administration has remarkably close ties to large investment banks (in particular Goldman Sachs), and I doubt Mitt Romney could be any closer to Wallstreet than Obama already is.

As for the political party affiliation and educational attainment, there is a relationship there but it is not (necessarily) that more educated people vote for Democrats ... For the most part,  conservative minded people enter into the STEM fields, Business, or trade school, and get a job soon after graduating with a Bachelor's degree (or a technical diploma). More progressive minded people enter into the Liberal Arts, upon graduating with a Bachelor's degree they enter into a graduate program because they can't find jobs, and eventually end up working at Starbucks complaining about how unfair the world is that no business respects their Women's Studies degree. Essentially, the values that make someone a conservative (personal accountability, financially conservative, etc.) are also qualities that would prevent someone from getting a student loan and going to school for 8 years to get a PHD in puppetry.

On the lower end of the scale, the poor urban population that represent the bulk of the highschool dropouts (and the high school graduates who are functionally illiterate and innumerate) vote overwhelmingly for the Democrats; at the same time poor uneducated rural people tend to vote overwhelmingly in favor of the Republicans.

If you think the business community doesn't have it out for all new graduates, equally, you're wrong. Only outstanding comp sci majors (emphasizing the outstanding) can really find work quickly.
