Honestly-Bush hasn't been all that bad.

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.

So, you either ignored, or did not notice the price of gas, the new
inflation numbers and the jobs that went out of the USA?  And, the deficit
is more tthan a pesky peoblem, if it was a democratic deficit, they would be

rising way before any word of hurricanes even came up?

Man, I knew Katrina was powerful, but not so much that it caused
prices to go up months before it hit!

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.

But low and behold, they are back to where they were before it hit.  At
least here in michigan.  Gas rose by almost a $2 since bush took over.  Are
you going to account that to inflation?

- Gas prices have been steadily rising since 1996 and both Bush, Gore,
Clinton, and Kerry all said there isnt much they can do about it.

- 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.

The lack of overall consideration for the loss of innocent life in Iraq
represented here is a really horrible notion of uncaringness towards the
value of life in general.

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.

They do, however, keep track of adult literacy rates, and percentages of the
population with degrees.

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

more dumb voters = more votes for Bush.

Another fraud post all the Dems fall for. This is getting embarrassing at
this point. There is no meaningful difference in literacy rates between any
states in the US. Back to your Dem cave to concoct some more bullshit only

I wasn't defending the implied claim above (I don't care enough to
find out the truth), I was responding to the idea that reading (he
changed the word "literacy" to "exposure to liberalism") does nothing
but turn one into a commie pinko.

Sure they do, but what does it mean? Does it mean that all smart
people voted for Kerry and all dumb people voted for Bush?

Rural area residents = unawareness of current events except the price of
milk supports and pork bellys.
urban residents=awareness of current events that affect the world and the
exonomy.

Sure. Whites have a higher average IQ than blacks. A majority of whites
voted for bush, a huge majority of blacks for kerry. What does that tell
you?

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.

It probably wasn't....

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?

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!  Maybe you should read your own cites before using
them!  To quote from page 15 of your cite:

"All evidence points to two extraordinarily important conclusions. First, if
there are genetically-determined differences
between the races in IQ, they are not sufficiently large to show up with any
regularity in studies with a wide range of methodologies. Second,
interventions designed to reduce the difference between blacks and whites
are effective at every age level."

Oops! You're not having a good day. It most assuredely does. I denied
your claim that college grads voted more for kerry, and the data shows
that more did not vote for kerry. I denied your claim that more degrees,
more literacy = more votes for kerry, and supported that claim by
showing that those with the *fewest degrees*, 0 degrees, voted for
kerry, not bush.

sheesh.

> Or did you miss the section on voting that said 55% of those doing postgrad

So what? "postgrad study" isn't a degree. 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.

Meaningless, because just because a "blue state" has more
highly-educated people than a "red state" does, or a higher average IQ,
doesn't mean that *the highly educated people or higher IQ people within
that blue state voted more for kerry than bush*.

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.

Read it again.  Look at "VOTE BY EDUCATION"

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.

Common knowledge?   "Common knowledge" means something known to those people

A larger percentage of the population is going to college today
than, say, 20 years ago.  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.

I wouldn't be so sure about that.  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

Did you know that economics is just as much of a soft science as
sociology is?  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.

any of the hard ones like physics, mathematics, or chemistry.  People
in those fields tend to be either leftist or just plain apolitical.

ROFL! You omit the most important category: No HS degree = more votes
for Kerry than Bush.

Yes, you claimed "more degrees... more votes for kerry". So let's take a
look:

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.

De-Bunked.

Yes - in my favor. Since of course the causes of the IQ gap between
blacks and whites (whether it is caused by genetic differences or
socio/economic differences or cultural differences) wasn't the issue,
only the *existence* of the gap, which you foolishly questioned.

Make no mistake: You might be blissfully unaware that blacks score
on-average lower than whites on IQ tests, but the author of that article
isn't. No educated person is.

High school gives degrees?  Nice try.........

OOPS! Using that wrong number again!

You own data says :

no college degree  47% for Kerry
College degree 49% for Kerry

Don't you just hate having your own cite bite you in the a.s?

You sure are. No degree 47% Kerry, College degree 49% Kerry,  Grad work 55%
Kerry

Just as I said. The more degrees, the more votes for Kerry.

You're the one who used that cite. It says you are wrong, there is no
measurable difference based on race.

If you want to prove your point, you have better come up with different
cites. All the ones you've used prove me right.

Keep trying to spin those degree numbers. There must be SOME way you can
make them say what you want them to say.

er yes, don't you have one?

From the US Census Bureau:

"High School Graduates include people whose highest degree was a high
school diploma"....

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

>>2 degrees (HS+college bachelor's w/no grad study) k = 46%

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

Impossibly stupid. Or just dishonest? Who can say?

You really can't be this dumb, can you?

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.

"diploma"  Exactly.  Nobody counts a HS diploma as a Degree, the census
bureau notwithstanding.  Although I should have you quote the URL, since
that one will probably bite you in the a.s too.

Sounds great to me. The data you cited shows exactly that.
