There seems to be a stereotype that "liberals" are the lazy sorts of
people who interrupt TV viewing only to go to soup lines, or smoke
harmful substances, whereas "conservatives" are hard working, self
reliant people who are very well off due to their own perseverance and
work ethic.

And yet, the few self proclaimed or suspected liberals and Obama
supporters of this newsgroup, seem to be very well off, accomplished
people, whereas many conservatives, while intelligent and interesting
people on many levels, are not exactly above that kind of level of
attainment.


Show us your data. IOW, you're talking out your a$$.

If that is the case, is that perhaps the time to reconsider our
stereotypes?


Perhaps you should reconsider yours.


i think what he is saying is that your stereotypes should be the
same as his...


More likely what he would have said, had he not been so polite, is that the
people who identify themselves at either end of the spectrum are out of
their minds. And, of course, he would be correct. d8-)
