Here's something for ya'll to ponder:
Blue States Smart - Red States DumbBy: Todd Smyth
Independent Media TVOK, call me an elitist but this is disturbing: Bush's Chief Advisor, Karl Rove has already said it: "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." Here's a chart that clearly indicates how stupid Republicans are compared to Democrats. The chart is based on the U.S. Census Bureau, 2002 American Community Survey and the current electoral vote count, based on recent polls.
Conservatives are not necessarily stupid, but most stupid people are conservatives. - John Stuart Mill, 1865
Sources:
Electoral Vote Predictor 2004
U.S. Census Bureau, 2002 American Community Survey
Further proof of this disturbing realization can be found in this PIPA report, thanks to Superchuy:
Even after the final report of Charles Duelfer to Congress saying that Iraq did not have a significant WMD program, 72% of Bush supporters continue to believe that Iraq had actual WMD (47%) or a major program for developing them (25%). Fifty-six percent assume that most experts believe Iraq had actual WMD and 57% also assume, incorrectly, that Duelfer concluded Iraq had at least a major WMD program. Kerry supporters hold opposite beliefs on all these points.
Sorry guys, looks like the jury is in on that one.
Hey, how smart can people be who believe in a god who would create woman as an afterthought?
Posted by: cul at October 26, 2004 09:42 PMI happened to run into two different career US Navy NCOs, separately, today. Both were Republicans from Texas. NEITHER one is voting for Bush. Conduct of the war, and bread-and-butter issues dominated their concerns. Talk about alienating your BASE! Up until VERY recently, all military personnel I spoke to were knee-jerk Bushites. Be afraid, Lt. Dubya. Be VERY afraid.
Posted by: cosa nostradamus at October 26, 2004 09:47 PMThat's interesting. I find it fascinating that really the only voice that we have not heard in this election season is the soldiers and the military personnel that are serving over in Iraq and Afghanistan. I think that their voice is the one that is absolutely essential to hear since they're seeing how things are really going over there and have put a face to a country that has been ravaged by war.
Posted by: Ashley at October 26, 2004 09:54 PMThe first hints of dissatisfaction I heard were from Marines who'd already fought on the front lines in both Afghanistan AND Iraq, and were on their way back for a third tour. They were sick of the shit, and sounded much like those jarheads who mouthed off not long ago, about having to fight the same battles over and over, for no apparent reason (Hamburger Hill, anyone?). And they were also clear on tha lack of WMDs, Al Qaida, and any real threat to the US homeland.
It was the troops in the rear, out of the fighting, who held out longest for Dubya, especially the lifers. But that may be collapsing now, too. Guess we'll see, next Tuesday. Or Wednesday. Or Thursday. Or...
Off topic - I love the pic you posted of yourself. Ooh baby!
Posted by: Rosemary the Queen of All Evil at October 26, 2004 11:31 PMHey thanks Rosemary! That was one from my surprise birthday party. I have a couple more that I was thinking of posting in a thread. The restaurant was really pretty :o) Good lighting helped me out in that one. Hahaa.
Posted by: Maria at October 26, 2004 11:47 PMCosa you moron,
There's no such thing as a Navy NCO. I think you may have just made that up, kinda like Kerry's charges on the missing ammo or his meetings with the UN Security Council.
Maybe you have a study somewhere linking lack of integrity with liberals? If you did, I'm sure it's as credible as what you've posted here.
Posted by: Gordon at October 27, 2004 12:22 AMObviously, as a conservative, you've never served your country in our military. There are Non-Commissioned Officers, i.e., chiefs, petty officers (Navy & Coast Guard); sergeants, corporals (Army, Air Force, Marines), etc, in ALL the services. I was one myself, in the Marines, asshole.
And why should I want, or need to lie? You bushlickers just can't HANDLE the truth. HAW-HAW-HAW!!! See ya next TUESDAY, freeper!
I see ya dropped "the Magnificent." How 'bout "El Pendejo Gordo"?
Cosa - I think you just talked way over "Gordons" head. He doesn't really understand.
Ash - Here in NC, down at Camp Lejune and in Ft. Bragg in Fayetville, there is MUCH dissastisfaction with BushCo. Despite what others may preceive, the reality is the troops, the families and the business owners around these installations are quite angry and see no end in site with the current administration. There are troops returning from Iraq down in both Bragg and Lejune that paint a very different picture than what "gordons" supposed "friend" has to say. One soldier who is getting out said "now I know what my father had gone through in viet nam." Fact is, we really don't know what is going over there because there are folks saying that BushCo is very much quelling the truth from getting out. Iraq is a much bigger mess than we could have possibly ever imagined. The troops are all fed up. They want answers. They want new leaderhsip.
If there is one constant around here, it is people like "gordon", geoffrey, mad mikey who live in this fantasyland and continue to keep their heads buried in their assholes only ever coming out to hear what Fox News has to say, than the head goes right back up in there. Arguing with them is like arguing with a spoiled rotten slobbering red headed 3 year old. The best way to deal with them is to let them cry it out. They eventually go away back to their shithole (where, nobody really bothers to comment on anything of significance anymore).
Posted by: nunya at October 27, 2004 08:29 AMyou really got to the dicklips - he dedicated a post all to the fiasco that took place in the comments on the other post here this morning.
Posted by: nunya at October 27, 2004 12:58 PMLet him cry and whine like the little cornhole that he is. I don't even bother to read the dreck that he posts at his putrid little domain.
Posted by: Maria at October 27, 2004 01:03 PMi just happened to glance by to see if he would actually whine about it. of course, he also forged a post from me.
he isn't even fun anymore because he is so predictable. it really is pathetic.
anyway, back to the topic....
Posted by: nunya at October 27, 2004 01:04 PMYou know Nunya, what I find funny is that he never posted a single substantive argument or even a shadow of relevant proof, logic or reasoning. He doesn't know how to participate in anything that resembles debate and he hasn't a clue about how to counter another person's position with civility. And then he thinks he came and "bitchslapped" us when what he really did was just come along and take one stinky crap after another in my comments. He thinks that coming to someone's blog and calling them a liar, etc., desperately trying to insult and incite, constitutes having won a debate! Hilarious! What a poor fool.
Posted by: Maria at October 27, 2004 01:18 PMhe has done this ever since I have seen him online. this is why i dont think he is who he says he is. he exists to incite bullshit. he doesn't take any of this seriously and he is starced for attention.
granted, i am not much better when i stoop to his level, but i respond to spit with spit. that is just me.
Posted by: nunya at October 27, 2004 01:25 PMstarved i meant
Posted by: nunya at October 27, 2004 01:25 PMand if you noticed, his blog's comment activities has died down because nobody takes him seriously anymore. nobody trusts him - how many forged posts of me saying i touch my special place can he do and deny it and yet still have people beleive him? even girl from heterophobic.org got fed up with it.
his story just repeats itself, I figure we should just move on. I like debating these issues in adult fasion.
fashion
Posted by: nunya at October 27, 2004 01:29 PMI find it hilarious that after I posted VIDEO FOOTAGE to back up my claims, after Maria supported her claims with "beliefs", after you declared yourself victorious over and over without a single fact, you closed down the thread after your selective deleting.
THEN, you dedicate a comments section to crying about it.
You both got owned.
You're my bitches.
Class Dismissed.
Posted by: Geoffrey at October 27, 2004 01:45 PMyou posted a link to a biased right wing partisan blog

i think anyone with a half a brain can tell the difference between which one is worth beleiving. you are so afraid of them read this http://www.wral.com/news/3859331/detail.html that you continue to try and divert the thread. too bad you can't edit posts here...all you can do is defame and slander me, and try to keep people from reading this http://www.wral.com/news/3859331/detail.html

Posted by: nunya at October 27, 2004 02:17 PMNunya - you did happen to notice the NBC video clip on that 'right wing blog', right?
Or does that not count for anything?
And what's all this 'felon' stuff? Did nunya get busted for something?
Posted by: Mad Mikey at October 27, 2004 02:19 PMNah, I prefer this one. Actual video footage and everything, felon.
Class Dismissed!
Posted by: Geoffrey at October 27, 2004 02:20 PMAnd what's all this 'felon' stuff? Did nunya get busted for something?
Yep. We can't talk about it, though. Maria is protecting him. She deletes it. Needless to say, however, he isn't allowed to vote. The irony is KILLING me.

Funny thing is, he can't even vote!
