He handled Iraq ALL wrong(Invading it was definitely the worst catastrophe since Vietnam). He's not a moron. But obviously-his knowledge about political science is pretty limited.
However-his fiscal policies have been excellent. His tax cuts, etc for small business has spurned economic growth. While he went overboard by favoring wealthy individual tax payers, what he did for small businesses and for businesses in general has helped our economy tremendously since '01. Not a fan of the deficits he brought us in, however. But like with Reagan, we should be able to get out of them.
Overall-I would give him a C+/B-. While he's made some VERY bad boo-boos, he's not exactly the "Nazi" that the Michael Moore's of this world make him out to be.

[quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Rob > ploovTeHSPaeMBLoKuR@charter.net Here, I'd disagree with your contention, that is, unless he's truly claiming that a rise in gas prices, months before the hurricane hit, was caused by the hurricane.
Out this way, the *day after* Katrina hit, gas prices rose THIRTY cents a gallon. That rise is being investigated by at least one governor of a western state.

- As for outsourcing. It wasnt Bush who signed Nafta. It was Clinton
- As for the record deficit... We hit one of the deepest and fastest recessions ever 2 months after Clinton left office and before Bush ever even signed a bill.
Like I said... you Democrats are easy to brain wash.

TLG - 19 Oct 2005 05:19 GMT There is no such thing as a list like this. No one has EVER compiled a state 'average IQ' list.
This goes down with the admitted Doonesbury lie that President Bush has the lowest IQ of all presidents over the past 50 years.
And the fact that you apparently believed this foolishness only goes to show (a) that the truly stupid people voted for Kerry, and (b) that the left will say and do anything to assassinate the character of this president and conservatives in general.

Oddly enough, they both show the same thing. More degrees, more literacy, more votes for Kerry.
more dumb voters = more votes for Bush.

The original posters' argument is even dumber. It means little that Conn has the highest IQ and voted for Kerry unless the breakdown shows that it was the high IQ folks in Conn who voted for Kerry.

OOPS! I guess you should have read your own data. It doesn't say what you said it says.
Or did you miss the section on voting that said 55% of those doing postgrad study voted for Kerry?
You may also want to read the disclaimer: Exit polls are a survey of selected voters taken soon after they leave their voting place.

sheesh.

And even if a majority with graduate degrees voted for kerry, that still wouldn't change the fact that your initial claim was debunked the moment i showed that most voters without any degrees at all voted for kerry as well.

That's why my polling data is better: it cuts through the county/state nonsense and brings it down to the level that matters - the voter level.

no college degree: Bush 53% Kerry 47% college degree Bush 49% Kerry 49%
Therefore my claims are correct. The more educated, the more likely to vote for Kerry. The less education, the more likely to vote for Bush.
You can also look at the breakdown no hs B 49 K 50 hs dipl B 52 K 47 some C B 54 K 46 col % B 52 K 46 postgrad B 44 K 55
Get the trend yet? Bush had a high of 54% in "some college". His percentages drop when the voter has more education.
And by the way, as you look at those totals? Remember that post grad work means that those votes are NOT included in the "college degree" totals, since the total of all 5 education levels adds up to 100%. But those are indeed people with degrees.
> sheesh. I suggest you do a few breakdowns on that same data. You can select different states and regions. For example, the east people with college degrees voted 59% Kerry, 40% Bush. The west voted 55% Kerry, 42% Bush
Only in the south and midwest did Bush beat Kerry in degreed votes. I think we know what a college degree makes you in the midwest. A farmer who owns his cows.
But at any rate, the data supports my claims. More education = more votes for Kerry.

As a young man with a college degree, almost 20 years ago, I would have been more likely to vote leftwards. Maturity and experience gained through these years makes me less likely to vote left. Actually, not at all. My guess is that when you look at persons aged 40-50 with college degrees, Bush gets the edge. There is little doubt that Kerry gets a larger percentage of persons younger, more likely more ignorant and immature, with or without college degrees.
Secondly, I would like to see a break-down on the type of degree. I am sure Kerry gets an overwhelming majority of those degreed in English, sociology, anthropology, women's studies, Hispanic studies and the other soft sciences. Bush would do better with those with engineering, computer or business degrees. Frankly, you should have some kind of multiplier. For example, a person with a degree in Engineering is worth, perhaps, 10 persons who have a degree in women's studies. Simply put, the intellectual rigor required to get these degrees are not even in the same galaxy.

Well, OK, you're obviously right about the businessmen ($$$), but most computer scientists are leftist, and I don't think engineers go either way predominately.
>you should have some kind of multiplier. For example, a person >with a degree in Engineering is worth, perhaps, 10 persons who >have a degree in women's studies.

Hell, those two fields share a lot of similarities. And "business" is just an applied version of economics; applied soft sciences are about as weak as it gets without delving into the humanities.
As for "intellectual rigor," it should be self-evident that the practicality of a given profession is hardly linked with the intelligence required to work in it. The humanities and soft sciences that haven't obviously just been invented to make a certain group feel important (that is to say, not women's studies) are very rigorous in their research and the critiques of that research. And many of the soft sciences (like history, psychology, and, yes, economics) have plenty of practical use anyway.
BTW, I notice that you stuck with applied sciences, and didn't mention any of the hard ones like physics, mathematics, or chemistry. People in those fields tend to be either leftist or just plain apolitical.

0 degrees, k = 49% 1 degree (HS), k = 47% 2 degrees (HS+college bachelor's w/no grad study) k = 46%
So instead of kerry's vote rising as "# of degrees" rises, we see that it *falls* as we go from 0 to 1 degree, and then falls from 1 to 2 degrees. Kerry doesn't get any more votes from college grads (no grad study) than he does from people who didn't even graduate from HS.

From the US Census Bureau:

What a farcical try on your part to not count a HS diploma as a degree... ROFL!

> OOPS! Using that wrong number again! > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Don't you just hate having your own cite bite you in the a.s? can you really be this dumb? we're breaking the category down *further* than that. the 49% figure for 'college degree' lumps people with a bachelor's degree and people with either a masters or also 'some postgrad study' together. but that's not as useful to us as parsing out people who have just a bachelors from people who have a bachelors + perhaps a masters degree, because we want to see what happens to kerry's vote as we add degrees.
As per your "more degrees... more votes for kerry" claim.
so, let's see if you repeating it one more time will help you grasp it:
0 degrees (no HS): kerry 49% 1 degree (HS): kerry 47% 2 degrees (HS + college bachelors): 46%
See? As the number of degrees rises, kerry's vote falls. Thereby de-bunking your theory.
Yes, the data also show that those with "postgrad study" voted for kerry at a 55% rate. But

I said: "Whites have a higher average IQ than blacks."
You said: "Interesting notion. Got a URL?"
The article in the URL i posted acknowledges that whites have a higher average IQ than blacks. If you can't see that after it's been explained to you, that's not my fault.
You seem to be confusing cause and effect: The effect (the IQ gap between blacks and whites) exists, regardless of whether any particular posited cause (environment, genetics, culture, etc.) explains the effect or not. As Al Browning said in another post: I didn't say _why_ whites have higher IQs than blacks, just that they do.
And they surely do. Sorry about that.
