Default IQ of Bush supporters

Stupid people love Bush
New study shows correlation between decline of IQ and rise of GOP


"Stupid people love Bush" new study proves According to the prestigious Southern California think tank, The Gluton Group, stupid people prefer President George W Bush over Senator John Kerry by a 4-to-1 margin. As Chief Resident Dr. Louis Friend characterized the results of the research, "the less intelligent you are, the more you like Bush." This landmark study, conducted over a 5 month period, involved 2400 likely voters bridging all economic stratas in the 17 states generally considered up for grabs on November 2nd. Participants were tested for intelligence, then asked to fill out a 12 page series of questions involving the Presidential candidates with results released earlier this week.

The consensus: the higher the IQ, the less people trust Bush and respect the job his administration has done. The lower the IQ, the more people admire his steadfastness. "It was pretty much a slam dunk. There's no nice way to say this. Dumb people like him. They think his unwavering nature is a positive personality trait. They even venerate him for never admitting mistakes, even when he's wrong. On the other hand, smart people think he's a lying bully. I mean, c'mon, you have a deserter accusing a decorated veteran of treason. Who's going to buy that besides stupid people?"

Preliminary results:
IQ Above 140: Kerry 80%, Bush 20%.
120-140: Kerry 65%, Bush 35%.
100-120: Kerry 54%, Bush 46%.
80-100: Bush 54%, Kerry 46%.
60-80: Bush 60%, Kerry 15%, Dale Earnhardt Jr. 25%.


Apparently Bush's good-evil, black-white philosophy resonates on an inverse relationship with higher education, whereas it became evident over the period of analysis that John Kerry's nuanced arguments are only understood by people who paid attention in any class above the 5th grade.

Doctor Friend elaborated: "It has to do with intellectual curiosity. Folks see Bush in front of a stream talking about the environment and they assume he's in favor of it, even though if you read his legislation, I'd be surprised to hear him endorse shade. This also explains why Bush gets away with pretending he doesn't know how the Senate works, allowing him to call Kerry a flip-flopper."

It's a scientific research, silly. Of course, people with low IQ who tend to support Bush also tend not to believe in science.

Uh....Ken.....I hate to tell ya, but the article is a satire. It says so at the bottom of the article. Looks like you got snookered. How low does one's IQ have to be to have that happen?

Default Rigghht....

I think JP5 nailed it. The "prestigious Gluton Group"?? Rigghhht. Authored by "Dr. Friend" himself?

I *really* hope you don't think this is scientific research, especially when it says "To read more Will Durst satire, see the Will Durst archive." at the bottom of the article...

Default Ha.Ha.

Another post from another intellectual genius.

I find it very ironic that from these SAME intellectual giants within the democrat party.

That they apparently became very confused over a simple butterfly ballot that the democrat party made up, then approved in 2000. That the democrat voters in that county, could not distinguish the right hole to punch, & when they finally found it, they could not punch all the way through.
