The humor in this is your posts in these threads are consistently shown to be baseless and your only reply is "Koch Brothers, Faux News, <insert anything liberals hate>".

It's funny as hell, there was a town in California that actually had it on their agenda for a vote. It just shows how easily people can be lead around to believe anything.

I could offer several up for example. All I would have to do is let them talk. Once they talk about the earth being 6k years old and the big flood killing the dinosaurs with the stupid look on their face it will leave no doubt to anyone

Ask yourself which of those groups tend to vote Democrat.

Answer: The racial groups with the lower average IQ.

The blue/ red state IQ difference is now mostly due to the fact the red states are disproportionately more black and hispanic.
This thought is why the GOP is going away soon. They have no clue what the reality of the times are

A quick analysis of the average IQ of a McCain versus Obama voter utilizing the bell curve chart I posted earlier in this thread gives the Obama voter an average IQ of 96.75 and the McCain voter 101.16.

There is a reason that liberals have always strongly opposed literacy tests.
