According to a study 20 years in the making by UC Berkeley Professor Jack Block; 3 and 4 year old nursery school aged children who were more apt to be:[ul][li]easily victimized, []easily offended, []indecisive, []fearful, []rigid, []inhibited, []relatively over-controlled and vulnerable[/ul] tended to grow up to become conservative.[/li]

Waiting for it…
Huh. That was me at that age. And I’ve only once voted red.
That was me, and I’m pretty liberal.
I almost posted this study, but I thought it could only end in tears. I guess we’ll find out now.
Yeah, that’s me too. And I’m about as liberal as they come.
Eh, make that “pointless political study”. 
With a sample, the only conclusion we can draw is that in that limited population, there was a certain trend. Hardly worth the time to read the report, let alone do the research.
I think many conservatives must have had childhood issues or something, but those traits could describe just about any 4-year old.
That’s me, and I wouldn’t be a Republican if you put a gun to my head.
UC Berkeley?
In other news, a 20 year study conducted by the RNC and Karl Rove has determined that bed wetters universally grow up to be liberals.
More evidence that our educational system is in meltdown.
The difference is, the conservatives learned to LIKE it.
Tarfire and Damnation! Looks like we’re raising a librul.
I would be curious to see whether the results could be replicated in the Nashville, Boston, New York, and Fargo areas. Otherwise I think it’s mainly a matter of people who were outsiders as children holding outsider political beliefs as adults.
I heard on the radio that Berkley had released another study stating that liberals were better lovers than conservatives (no cite, it was just a news blip on WBAL). I guess they’ve figured that if they can’t win a majority in congress by their political opinions, they’ll use other means to make people support their cause.

“That’s right, baby. I’m a…[sub]liberal[/sub].”
“Ooooh, take me now you big stud!”
How in the world do you decide if a four-year-old is “indecisive”? What decisions does a four-year-old make, anyway? Whether to watch Sesame Street or Spongebob?
