According to a study by David K. Park, Ph.D., an assistant professor of political science at Washington University in St. Louis:
In every presidential election since 1952, the richer a voter is, the more likely that voter is to vote Republican, regardless of ethnicity, sex, education or age.

In a study reported in the journal Nature Neuroscience, scientists at NYU and UCLA concluded the brains of conservatives and liberals process information differently.

The Conservative brain naturally blocks "distracting information"... while liberals tend to "take it all in."

Of course, this explains a lot...

It explains why liberals have a tougher time "rationalizing social and economic inequality," according to New York University psychologists Jaime Napier and John Tost.

Let me show you what this means with a concrete example. Consider one of the many social programs like welfare. Liberals have pushed laws to allow people to collect unemployment for ninety-nine weeks—almost two years!

What's the incentive for anyone to go back to work when they're getting a free ride?

But it's not the Democrats' fault...

Republicans and Democrats are just wired differently—perhaps even on the genetic level. New research from Harvard suggests that a variant of the dopamine receptor gene – DRD4 – may be responsible for causing individuals to become liberals.

A University of New Mexico professor of psychology named Jacob Vigil suggests a psychological bias...

He studied the psychological differences between Republicans and Democrats in a test group of 701 varied individuals before the 2008 election and made the following determination:
Many of them [Democrats] are victims – victims, often, of childhood trauma, or the perceived victims of a cruel adult world.
In other words, most Democrats and Liberals naturally have a "victim" mindset. So they're looking for victims everywhere. We see that today in the Obama administration in the many bailouts and handouts.

Just look at the food stamp situation in America:

I have an idea...

Instead of voting, why not just give a sample of your DNA.

It sounds like we are predisposed by genetics as to our politics anyway.

Interesting....

Boxer rebellion, the Holy Child. They all pay their rent.
But none together can testify to the rhythm of a road well bent.
Saddles and zip codes, passports and gates, the Jones' keep.
In August the water is trickling, in April it's furious deep.

not getting the Eugenics tie in, can you 'splain it to me?

Eugenics is a facist invention, there are extreme leftists and extreme rightists that would advocate it.
