WE KNEW IT ABOUT THEM ALL THE TIME - AT 11:07 A.M. ET:  Reader Sam Indorante refers us to a new study that confirms what we've always known about liberals - that they, uh, see things: 

A new study by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life reveals some startling differences between Republicans and Democrats on issues of spirituality and supernatural phenomenon.

Read on, read on.  This gets good.

"Conservatives and Republicans report fewer experiences than liberals or Democrats communicating with the dead, seeing ghosts and consulting fortunetellers or psychics," the Pew study says. For example, 21 percent of Republicans report that they have been in touch with someone who is dead, while 36 percent of Democrats say they have done so.

Well, of course.  That's the Democratic voter base.  This survey must have been done in Chicago.

Eleven percent of Republicans say they have seen a ghost, while 21 percent of Democrats say so.

Of course, the Democrats are including Jimmy Carter.

Seventeen percent of Republicans say they believe in reincarnation, while 30 percent of Democrats do. Fourteen percent of Republicans say they believe in astrology, while 31 percent of Democrats do.

Now tell me, which is the intellectual party?
