Are Kerry voters smart? I think not...

WASHINGTON -- Supporters of President Bush are less knowledgeable about the president's foreign policy positions and are more likely to be mistaken about factual issues in world affairs than voters who back John F. Kerry, a survey released yesterday indicated.
....The polls results, said Steven Kull, the head of the Program on International Policy Attitudes at the University of Maryland, which conducted the survey, showed that Americans are so polarized two weeks before the election that many lack even a common understanding of the facts.
...According to the survey, the difference doesn't reflect lack of access to information about Iraq.
The poll found that perceptions did not vary significantly by level of education among those who plan to vote for Bush.
And many of the Bush voters surveyed knew that the Duelfer report said Hussein had no WMDs, but continue to believe that he did regardless.
Kull suggested the dissonance among Bush voters reflects the country's difficulty coming to grips with the discrediting of the rationale for the Iraq war.
"This period will really stand out as when the US went to war on assumptions that turned out to be incorrect," he said. "The body politic is still struggling to come to terms with that."

Keep in mind, this report is from the BOSTON GLOBE. Of all places, the liberal hotbed thinks Bush supporters are stupid? No way!
Here we go with the three-times per year "Republicans are stupid" thing. Next week we will find out it was a 'study' of 10 people by a leftwing fringe group
Bush supporters are not responding to the Socialist media indoctrination.
They must be stupider or at least more dumby.
EVERY major newspaper will run this story and it will be on television too.
We are smart enough not to buy the Boston Globe.
Yes, assumptions also accepted by everyone in the world, including Kerry.
Hey Boston Globe: I'm not as dumb as I think you are.
"Saddam [Hussein] so dominated the Iraqi Regime that its strategic intent was his alone," the summary begins. "He wanted to end sanctions while preserving the capability to reconstitute his weapons of mass destruction (WMD) when sanctions were lifted."
Republicans are geniuses.

Hunting for votes? Kerry in Youngstown, OH***YOUNGSTOWN — John Kerry, the Democratic presidential nominee, went hunting today in Poland Township in an effort to show sportsmen and hunters that he is one of them.

***....WASHINGTON -- Two weeks before the hotly contested presidential election, a new study has found that President George W. Bush could get almost double the support from blacks that he did in 2000. The jump from 9 percent four years ago to 18 percent, however, is far behind the 69 percent of blacks who support Democratic rival Sen. John Kerry, according to a poll released Tuesday by the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, a think tank that focuses issues regarding blacks and other minorities....*** Poll: Bush doubles support among blacks
What a bunch of condescendig snots. Who's uninformed?
Condescending crapola.
Because we don't share their delusions, we are uninformed...right....
No, Mr. Boston Globe 'reporter', we don't believe you are the King of France!
Everyone knows John Kerry is!
This is another one of the stupid polls that asked, "Did Saddam have WMD?" Republicans (correctly) answer yes. The supposed 'academics' doing the polling are so politically motivated that the answer they are looking for is factually incorrect. Then they call republicans stupid for answering correctly.
Hey (really) stupid polling person, Saddam DID have WMD. If you asked the question, "Did Saddam have WMD at the moment we invaded" then the answer would be, "Don't know. Maybe." But as long as you ask, "Did Saddam have WMD" the correct answer is yes, even if you are too stupid or biased to know it.
sean Hannity dispelled this on his show by interviewing the protesters at the GOP conv. in NYC. Many of the interviewees could not name the Vice President. These are the ACTIVISTS!
