What I find hilarious is, the people with the highest IQ's have the lowest common sense.

Actually the welfare crowd votes for their paycheck for the month and for a pack of cigarettes. Some really high IQ's vote for Obama... I want Obama money.

I wonder how many welfare dollars were sent to make sure that Obama would push for more freebees.

That post was made in January of 2009, so the data is probably 2008, but we have no hint where it came from, who compiled it, or how.

The numbers in the two documents are too far apart to be allowed to stand without explanation.

wow.. Palin ran a state, Obama sat and voted for two years.. and you voted Obama... Sorry for you.

Actually I saw a high ranking General who was so impressed with Palin that I knew she would be a good president..

the liberal media can make a genius look stupid.. and puff up an imbecile to a genius.. I know their style.

So basically the people who claim they have the highest IQ also fall for the most ignorant/false charts and graphs ever conceived by man?

Or was it the rating system that was used different? Or are you saying it's wrong because you think 2009 and the other years should be the same and that makes no sense to think they would be the same simply because it's a different year.

Red States vs. Blue States Comparison Summary
Well they used the same numbers for 2004 and 2008, I would not think that between 2008 and 2009, they would shift so dramatically, especially since they didn't change for those 4 years.

LOL, I will admit, that while she is interesting, not sure I would want her as President if McCain kicked the bucket.

That being said, if something were to ever happen to Obama, we would end up with Joe (foot in mouth) Biden as President, an that scares me even more.......
