Maybe they should make correct grammar and spelling a requirement to be able to vote.

Believe me, it would help out the republicans more than the dems.

I doubt it, most surveys, including exit polls from 2008...showed that the more educated voters are...the more they tend to lean to the left..

Are you crazy?

It's the exact opposite. The higher degree one holds the more likely they are to be republican. Same with age. The older one is the more likely they are to be republican.

Oh, yeah? Poll from April 2008..Obama leads in every category except for those with an education of HS or less (sound familiar teabaggers?)..This is pretty much par for the course....

How'd that work out for you?
It worked out just fine for me since I am a registered independent..not a Republican..any other incorrect assumptions you would like to make to humiliate yourself with today???

LOLs. One poll from one month in 2008.

Look at Census data. You will see that for 50 years the higher level ones education they more likely they are to vote republican.

Do you even know what a dictionary is?

If you have one, open it up. You will discover "teabag" is not a word.
The word definitely exists. A word does not need to be in orthodox dictionaries for it to exist. Do slang words exist, even if they are not in Websters or Oxford English dictionary.

Urban Dictionary: teabag

Oxford and Websters' online dictionary does not carry the term Guido , which describes a certain male style popular amongst some Italian Americans in the NE.

Here we go! I love the Teabagger rationale regarding the lack of higher education. Let me paraphrase their excuse for not going to college: "Just because you went to college doesn't mean you are smarter than me. How do you know I didn't go to the library everyday and read books and become self educated. A college degree don't mean diddly squat"

Keep it up

Ninth grade English teachers avert you eyes now! Middle school graduates, too. What you are about to witness is a crash course in how not to do grammar, courtesy of Tea Partiers from all over these fine United States. This is not for the faint of heart.

What’s there to see that’s so bad, you ask? A better question might be this one: what’s missing?

Answer: apostrophes in the right place. Words spelled correctly (creative interpretations of “socialist” include “scholiast” and “socilist”). An ability to master the subtle nuances of your/you’re formations. Etc.

Teabonics (http://www.flickr.com/photos/pargon/sets/72157623594187379/show/ - broken link)


This is hilarious!

Attacking delivery while ignoring the content is a fallacious argument, plain and simple.
