Liberal colleges

[jackthewall81]

Wow I just found out that colleges have their out of state students from obama states such as California that are not going to be a toss up, registering to vote in Colorado in order to swing our state to Obama. They have some sort of easy registration available at the local student center....

Obummer is running the same go vote ads he did last time, hoping that people who ordinarily will not register and who do not really pay attention to whats going on will not realize its HIS FAULT, run out and register and vote his ass back in anyway. College campus are important because they ahve a valuable commodity- NEW UNREGISTERED voters with heads full of mush and no life experience who are easily distracted by shiny things, so you can bet your ass thats where his peeps are concentrating the big push.

Yeah I hope all of the people who fell for that last time around and now cannot find jobs despite having that college degree will be enough to swing the votes away from Obummer.

Also jackthewall81 did you read this in an article or just hear it on the radio or something? If you have links I would like to read them.[Beer]

It works for conservative college kids, too.
I was grateful that I could vote on the campus rather than having to do a mail-in ballot, etc.

Granted, I went to college a decade or so ago, but these tactics underwhelm me. While there were a fair number of politically active students at my southern university, most of the student body were lazy slackers who were unlikely to vote unless breasts or beer were involved. The bloom is off the rose this election cycle, and I just don't see college kids voting out of state as having that big of an effect. Voter apathy over the Republican nominee is what concerns me a lot more.

My professor was talking about it in my 9:30 class.

This is nothing new, and has nothing to do with conservative / liberal.

A student may register to vote in the state they live. That may be where they're going to school, and be a different state than where their parents live.

This also means they get registered for jury duty, etc.

Except the majority of students I am around, if not all of them are huge Obama supporters. Liberal education = Young, liberal voting base.

[Dalendenver]

Every time I go to the library or King Soopers there are people outside trying to sign up voters. Interesting that they never ask me, just minorities.

Probably just assume you are registered.

BS it has nothing to do with "conservative / liberal". The overwhelming number of colleges are staffed with hard-core liberal "academics" who preach liberal ideals day in and day out to their students. While there may be a very small minority of conservatives, they are way outnumbered by the activist liberals.

Sure, the student may register in the state where they live. But I would wager most of them register and vote for democrats, based in large part on how they are indoctrinated in the colleges and universities they attend.

Is that your experience?

[Bailey Guns]

Yeah...as a matter of fact, it is. Unless you're living under a rock...or, in your case, you're a liberal and just don't want to admit it. Oh, wait. I'm sorry...a moderate. Do you dispute the assertion that colleges and universities in the USA are overwhelmingly staffed and administered by those with a liberal leaning?

Just like the majority of public schools are highly influenced by liberal teachers unions and school boards. Do you disagree with that?

Just wondering where you'd experienced all of those liberal college professors. In my experience, the Liberal Arts types tend to be liberals, the Business School types tend to be conservative, and the Science and Engineering types a mixed bag.

Yes, public schools tend to have liberals. Got any ideas why?

[Bailey Guns]

Do you really have to attend a school to know the academic makeup? And if you attend a school, can you even then speak towards all of the professor's political leanings? Of course not.

However, I can read, I've attended classes or otherwise been involved in various ways at several schools, my wife has recently graduated with another degree from a local college, my son and DIL are both attending now...so yeah, I have a fair amount of experience either directly or indirectly.

Yes, I do.

I will say that the make of a university will vary dramatically from one college to another. Pick a random professor or student in the a college of business or engineering and I will wage their political leaning will be very different from a professor or student in the a "softer" college.

There's a voting registration booth at front range community college ran by democrats, it wouldn't suprise me the people registering for anything not democrat would get their registration card tossed.

I've had no issues with my teachers with politics in class, topics are generally avoided but they do crop up and my teachers have been quite professional about it.

I'm sure they aren't pointing people to http://triggerthevote.com to sign-up!

It's funny when you get stopped by someone that wants you to sign a petition and they don't really understand it. The college coeds are just earning a few bucks for spending money.

My wife is an elementary school teacher, and a conservative. The ONLY conservative there. She beats her head against the liberal stupidity wall every day.[Bang]

There just recruitment centers and indoctrination centers for the left..
