Interesting quote.....

"As people do better, they start voting like Republicans — unless they have too much education and vote Democratic, which proves there can be too much of a good thing."
— Karl Rove, quoted in the "Daily Texan," March 19, 2001


May have been his opinion, but I doubt it was ever his philosophy.

"As people get greedier and more selfish they vote Republican, unless they actually know what's going on, which proves ignorance is better for us." -- Karl Rove rephrased from his quote in the "Daily Texan", March 19, 2001

I was a Republican until about 5th grade. I guess that's what they consider too much education.
