    it's like a thread where people are arguing about which is better; eating processed beef n' cheese covered in turds or getting kicked in the balls everyday for a year, and basing their arguments on hearsay from 30 years ago.

    haha, as much as this is a whacky thread it is interesting to think about in terms of our beloved PJ. I honestly dont think Ed has changed much.. he just detested Bush. But I am curious where he stands now politically and what his last conversation might have been like regarding Obama.

    I would have to think this thread and the one about wishing happy mother's day are in the front running for "most ridiculous debate of the week".

    :D

    You'd have to look at the actual study to decide if it's biased or not, but it would be interesting to see how they defined and measured liberal vs. conservative.

    Why did you post a study when you don't even know how it was conducted?

    That's the best ya got?

    Not surprised in the least. I think a lot of famous musicians realize they are wrong about their pro-left stance later on, once they grow up and learn about the world.

    Wow! This sentence wins the 2011 first prize for smugness.

    As for musicians 'growing up' and 'learning about the World' before voting Republican, can you provide any examples?


    Honestly, wasn't meant to be smug. I think the same is true for teenagers. A lot of teenagers grow up left-leaning. But, eventually they see the world differently once they start working and have a family. At some point, a large number switch to the right-leaning.

    Take a look at the article for an example.

    Teenagers and twenty-somethings get older. They learn individual responsibility...paying bills, paying taxes, actually caring about the impositions forced upon them by liberal bureaucrats. It's easy to be a leftist when you have no responsibilites and your parents are paying for everything.

    Eventually, you realize the "socialist utopia" is the ultimate oxymoron.

    Intriguing article though.

    Imagine all the people... investing in diversified portfolios from Bear/Sterns in an unregulated market that includes default swap options and the falsely inflated DOW reaching beyond 20,000 points during wartime.
    You may say, I'm a dreamer. But I'm not the only one.
