talking points that piss you off

[TheDeadFlagBlues]

Anything involving the words "create jobs" or "job creators".

Pragmatism is wasting billions of dollars to turn a benign drug into a gateway drug apparently.

"The Democrats are the party of Science"

especially when said by liberal arts majors

It pisses you off because it's true.

Only if all of the scientific world consisted of evolution, embryonic stem cell research, and global warming. All of that together isn't worth terribly much when the left is constantly trying to divert educational resources toward arts and humanities fields and encouraging people to major in something other than hard science since whether a field is practical or useful should apparently not be a consideration (at least according to most of the people on this board). Most of the liberals who are complaining about federal funding for embryonic stem cell research don't even understand why we would want to fund it instead of using adult stem cells.

The point is going over your head, I see. Democrats are the party of science because it's  overwhelmingly supported by scientists in a way that few parties around the world are.

If you look at college faculty by field of study, the hard science fields are significantly less favorable to Democrats than social sciences. The Democrats are really more of the party of English Literature.

I've seen that study and it doesn't surprise me but it doesn't discount my point. Democrats are supported by the scientific establishment almost exclusively and basically serve their interests in the same way that Republicans serve oil, logging, mining and the like. In this sense they are the party of science.
