4. Guess my 17-year-old is correct in referring to the Reich Wingers as the
double-digit IQ crowd.

8. It was sent to me as an image. Somebody says it was "debunked"...
...but I haven't seen it debunked. It would have helped if the person saying it was debunked had said WHERE it was debunked, but frankly, I don't feel the need to bend over backwards to debunk anti-Bush propaganda at this point in time. Why tie our own nooses?

13. I agree, but I would like to know if it ...
was debunked. At least we care about the truth. :)

14. It was debunked here - well good evidence from a righty
I know the righties aren't always reliable for this sort of thing, but read this link before you repeat this information:

10. friend in South Carolina - just got off the phone
She was telling me that they have the Diebold machines there. She also told me that they tend to put them where there are a lot of uneducated people. I was very surprised to hear this, but after thinking about it I could see the lure of the touchscreen if you don't know how to read nor write very well.

Hmmmm ........

:kick:

11. ya all, don't be too happy
please remember that often the intellectuals are the first to be murdered in a totalitarian regime coup.

Think Nazi Germany, burning of books, killing the professors,
Cambodia was so bad, anyone who wore glasses was murdered.

Not always wise to be the smart ones.

16. Naturally, Utah, at number 49 in IQ, voted the highest percentage for Bu$h
at 71%.

I'm sure Mississippi was somewhere around 60% or more for Bu$h.

21. and you can bet there were lots of Diebold machines in Utah too
Pretty disgusting tactic IMO but hey, it seems to have worked nicely and went off with barely a hitch *so far* .....

20. I'm a liberal from #5 Rhode Island: Need I say more?
Certainly not! I'm not only smart, I'm lucky!

(I have to laugh though, for career reasons I've spent the last 15 years in the bottom ten on the list.)

Rhode Island: Real Smart! (proposed motto)
