Study: SAT Scores and Republican Party Affiliation are CLOSELY LINKED, and With Home Prices As Well!

Statistical analyses of relationships between SAT scores, Republican Party affiliation, spending on education, ethnic compositions of towns, and tax rates reveal that among those factors (that is, excluding financial components) the ones that matter most in driving comparative and competitive home sales prices (by town medians over time, and over the long-run) are those related to CULTURE -- SAT scores and Republican Party affiliation (and all the value choices that such affiliation incorporates). You may have had a gut feeling that it pays to own a home in a town with high SAT scores and strong republican values. Now here's the statistical proof -- from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, no less.

Check out the web site for a few charts you can click onto to expand, and they will reveal a fascinating chart showing a high degree of correlation between performance on SATs and % of the town affiliating with the Republican Party. The smarter towns are more republican -- in Massachusetts.

I could never understand the Democrat meme that Republicans are a bunch of idiot hicks, but at the same time we are the corporate CEOs and millionaires who enjoy all the tax breaks.

Just when I was getting used to being called a slack-jawed yokel.

Because their contention, such as it is, is that republicans are made up of two distinct groups. The first group is the cliche of the big business, country club, CEO Republican whose concerns are in the secular world of less regulation, tax relief and oter monetary issues. The second group is the low-income, "values based" Republican who fears and hates the urban, hyper-educated post-modern, secular world.

Republicans are good neighbors and smart people. No surprise there that they would create a desirable town to live in.

Sighs- waiting patiently for the next label application:)

"I could never understand the Democrat meme that Republicans are a bunch of idiot hicks"

I always saw this as a function of the egocentric nature of your average lefty. They see the world as being about them. Anyone who disagrees must be either stupid or evil. That is why most people who can still be friendly with those with whom they disagree are on the right.

[Henchman]

Aww c'mon. The DUms call us stupid idiots. How could this be?"

[AirForceMom]

LMFAO, I hadn't heard that one!!

[Savage Beast]

The Democrats' invectives don't have to make sense. Their sociopathic leaders know this. The rank and file Democrats are to stupid to question what their leaders tell them to think.

[AirForceMom]

They can call us what they wish, as long as we know after each insult should come the phrase " who kicked our a$$e$".

[Mark in the Old South]

By the way where are my stocks in Halerburton? I read every day I am supposed to have gobs of stocks in oil but I be darned if I know where they are.

[AirForceMom]

I must have misplaced mine too.

[Mark in the Old South]

I must have misplaced the wife I beat as well. You can have one of those also but they wouldn't criticize you for it. What is the fun in that?

"...we are the corporate CEOs and millionaires who enjoy all the tax breaks."

Interesting dicotomy isn`t it?

Why not? Democrats are the over-educated with advanced degrees as well as those too stupid to understand a ballot!
