killing of Osama bin Laden: Barack Obama or
Mitt Romney?
Barack Obama................................................ 63%
Mitt Romney.................................................... 6%
Not sure .......................................................... 31%

Of those who self identify as "Very Conservative" 15% think Romney deserves credit for killing OBL, 51% are not sure. WOW!!!!

Obviously, if 46% of those 'tards had a "favorable" opinion of Joe Biden.

That would be an opinion. While the 'tards, as you put it, who give Romney credit for something he couldn't possibly have any ties to whatsoever... that's not opinion.

lol 2's not quite 15% =P. I think Obama got his money from tax payers that or it grows on trees. Hey it's better to just spend some money to feed those people before they get angry and cost us more in damage.

My numbers aren't exact but I think I read in my HS government or world history class (eons ago) 33% of Americans can't point to the US on the world map and only 20% could differentiate Israel from Afghanistan.

If the topic is, "dumbasses of the two parties", it has everything to do with the topic.

Since that's NOT the topic, then it doesn't. Thank you for clarifying that.
 
The IQ tests generally tend to show that being "liberal" or "conservative" don't equate to much, if any, difference in IQ, but being "very liberal" tends to correlate with higher IQ and being "very conservative" tends to correlate to lower IQ. This result would seem to bear that out.

Watch. Now we get to see a whole host of liberals posting studies that show that liberals are smarter, and a whole host of conservatives showing that conservatives are smarter, proving... nothing.

As a general rule of thumb, you seem to get in the neighborhood of 5% of survey respondents that just put a crazy answer. Like if you ask "do you live on Earth or on the Sun", you won't get 100% "earth" even though 100% of people know they live on earth. I dunno if it is people trying to be funny or people trying to mess with the survey company or just like hitting the wrong button or what, but it seems to happen pretty consistently around that level when there is one clearly ridiculous option.

Notice how you only mentioned studies on one side of that equation. I guess that's the proof you were looking for isn't it?

Actually, it purdy much is the topic.

Actually, no it isn't. The topic is that, according to some poll, 15% of people who identified as Very Conservative, think that Romney had something to do with Bin Laden being killed. What do you think about those people, apdst?

Notice how you lied about what I posted. Let me post it again so you can correct yourself:

Please point out how I only mentioned studies on ONE side of the equation... and demonstrate which side I mentioned.

AND... those are both sides of the equation... one side showing that liberals are smarter another showing that conservatives are smarter. You do understand that saying one side is smarter, implies that the other side is not.

So, having proven you wrong. What else do you have to say on the topic?

Playing dumb doesn't help your situation lol.

As you (apparently inadvertently) pointed out, liberals have actual studies that show that what I am saying is correct. The conservatives that deny it have nothing but their own assertions.

ROFL and what about "progressive"

I bet some of those "very conservative" people are going to take that commentary seriously and start jumping.
