Stupid people love Bush
New study shows correlation between decline of IQ and rise of GOP

"Stupid people love Bush" new study proves According to the prestigious Southern California think tank, The Gluton Group, stupid people prefer President George W Bush over Senator John Kerry by a 4-to-1 margin. As Chief Resident Dr. Louis Friend characterized the results of the research, "the less intelligent you are, the more you like Bush." This landmark study, conducted over a 5 month period, involved 2400 likely voters bridging all economic stratas in the 17 states generally considered up for grabs on November 2nd. Participants were tested for intelligence, then asked to fill out a 12 page series of questions involving the Presidential candidates with results released earlier this week.

The consensus: the higher the IQ, the less people trust Bush and respect the job his administration has done. The lower the IQ, the more people admire his steadfastness. "It was pretty much a slam dunk. There's no nice way to say this. Dumb people like him. They think his unwavering nature is a positive personality trait. They even venerate him for never admitting mistakes, even when he's wrong. On the other hand, smart people think he's a lying bully. I mean, c'mon, you have a deserter accusing a decorated veteran of treason. Who's going to buy that besides stupid people?"

Preliminary results:
IQ Above 140: Kerry 80%, Bush 20%.
120-140: Kerry 65%, Bush 35%.
100-120: Kerry 54%, Bush 46%.
80-100: Bush 54%, Kerry 46%.
60-80: Bush 60%, Kerry 15%, Dale Earnhardt Jr. 25%.

Apparently Bush's good-evil, black-white philosophy resonates on an inverse relationship with higher education, whereas it became evident over the period of analysis that John Kerry's nuanced arguments are only understood by people who paid attention in any class above the 5th grade.

2. Dale Earnhardt Jr.

25%. Hehe, that's a good one. Pretty close to the truth too when you get to the shallow end of the gene pool.

3. LOL, well if IQ points were votes...

Kerry would get 90% of the popular vote.

5. What about moral intelligence?

They tried to co-opt that too, believe it not not, depending on how you define moral values. Buddhism has a point that wrong thinking and living degrade the person, therefore the working intelligence and its goals.

Mathematical, lower function IQ seems hardly adequate when there are still 20% of the "smart" people who can't add 2+2 in real life.

6. Voting for Bush and Obesity have a positive correlation of .33 suggesting

fat cats vote republican.

The correlation stat is based on year 2000, state voting percent for Bush and percent of state residents who are obese.

:evilgrin:

7. There's definitely a high correlation between the two.

Bush supporters don't know crap about current events and what's behind them. They're the ones wrapped up in the non-stories like Lacy Peterson, Michael Jackson and silicone breast implants.

9. "Nader Supporters are the Smartest of All"?

"It was also found that Ralph Nader supporters were the brightest of all political proponents tested, but Dr. Friend dismissed them as "too smart for their own good."

Considering the fact that none of them have f**ing figured out that Nader is an insane, egomaniacal GOP shill, I highly doubt it.
