Anti-Republican Scientists

Scientists have come to the conclusion, Republicans are stupid.

One of the great political shifts in the past decade has been the move of scientists toward the Democratic Party, a casualty of the Republican Party’s war on reality. It’s not about politics for scientists, it’s about the fact that only one party accepts scientific findings on everything from global warming to evolutionary theory to what does and doesn’t prevent pregnancy. Only 6 percent of scientists identify as Republican, whereas 55 percent identify as Democratic.

With 39% as....?

With 39% as....?

I would guess the bulk of them don't identify with any party, i.e., independent. I don't know if there were any other specific parties offered as an option.

More from the Salon article

Both journalist Chris Mooney, author of The Republican War on Science, and historians Naomi Oreskes and Erik Conway, who together wrote Merchants of Doubt, have done extensive research that shows the faults in Sarewitz’s argument. In Merchants of Doubt, Oreskes and Conway laid out how the fields of environmental science and public health, not the social sciences, turned Republicans into anti-science warriors. They explain that it was during the debates over tobacco’s carcinogenic properties that conservatives began their assault on science, claiming a controversy where there was none in hopes of delaying government interventions that would depress the tobacco industry’s profits. After that, the strategy was set. If scientists made proclamations that could undermine industry, conservative politicians claimed the research was more controversial than it was, offered up well-paid but unethical experts who claimed to have doubts, and introduced shoddy research with divergent findings. The strategy has been employed to resist and delay government regulation to combat acid rain, global warming, and the hole in the ozone.

At some point, the conservative movement began to realize that since these fights were going to come up over and over, it wasn’t enough to simply cast doubts on individual scientific claims. They had to sow suspicion of the field of science itself.

Not a partisan hack like most of you clowns!

Run out and ask a group of 1000 pro-abortionists about the science involved in pregnancy. Ask them how many of them think it is a human life that is being ended when an abortion takes place. Then come back and ask those same scientists in the survey above what they think.

Also... the only thing global warming theory proves is that scientists are just as corrupt a field as anything else. Willing to perpetuate a myth for the sake of keeping their government funding flowing. Despite one computer model after another blowing up. Despite over a decade where temps have not increased in any significant way above the 1998 peak.
