Why aren't they talking to their local politicians?

they only appear at election time!

In our area, we fortunately have reps who work all year round - every year.

They want local services but they don't want to pay for them.

That much is obvious. Those who are taught bullshit will think they are educated.

And paying teachers minimum wage, or, as late Pig Jerky Falwell wished, churches will run the education system, resulting in a nation completely full of indoctrinated idiots.

...between a voter's level of education and their political leanings.

There's plenty of educated conservatives, for sure, but by and large, the more educated one is, and the more open one is to ideas other than their own, the more left-leaning they tend to be.

Was that intentional? If not, that is the most awesome freudian slip I've ever seen.

I proclaim, "We won't have to listen to those sirens when Romney gets rid of all the paramedics and firefighters."

Probably can buy them $50/gallon. He will provide the mansions with their own fire trucks.
