Right on all counts. It's fascinating to trace everything that happened as a result of moderates forcing Reagan to put Bush 41 on his ticket.
This is not representative of just Obama voters... this just shows how stupid and brainwashed us Americans are overall. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWCPAXgrm2U http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LysxbVZ1DNM&feature=related We have no critical thinking skills.
Your statement "Democrats rule among the dumb" would be just as true if you'd said "Republicans rule among the dumb" Fact is average isn't too bright and the majority is average and below, goes for both parties.
Plenty of dumb to go around. The Dems though own the dumbest IMO. Inner city folk are pretty ignorant based upon their school performance. While republican's have a higher percentage of bachelor's degrees, much is made of the liberal's higher percentage of graduate degrees. I can explain it having spent much time around academics. University liberal arts and social science departments have been taken over by the left and they grant lots of graduate degrees. What else are you going to do, except go to graduate school, when you are a poly sci major? When you are completely dependent on government for your support (in other words sometimes useless) and have existed in academics most of your adult life, as are liberal arts and social science folks, you tend to be leftist. When people are right leaning (in the sense of less government) they tend to leave school sooner to go out make a living and have families. Small business owners are predominantly republican, liberal arts departments are predominantly democrat. You decide who is more useful.

The IQ data is quite suspicious, I have only taken one in my life, over the internet. Children are not tested nor is it mandatory for anyone at any level of education. I think you can chalk it up to left bias. A guy named Fried checked out other surveys, he found republicans to be more knowledgable based on surveys. http://books.google.com/books?id=wG...8PDZDA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=8 http://www.joefried.net/ Overall republicans appeared to be more on top of things, I agree based on my observations of people in general.
