How many Obama voters have a degree in “You want fries with that?”
;-\
Acutally let me correct you and I have a point here. Ernst Rohm was the head of the SA in pre-war Germany, the Brownshirts. It was made up of much of the rabble of post WWI Germany. Petty criminals, out of work blue collar types, socialists, dropouts..basically Obama's ground troops. But if history teaches us a lesson and why I corrected yours. Himmler was head of the SS, an elite highly educated force which Hitler enlisted to liquidate the SA when the brownshirts became not so uselful. When Obama has no use for the rabble, well you do the history.
False syllogism. One of its premises assumes that a college degree makes one smarter.
Fine. Lets have a national combination general knowledge/IQ test day. Republican voters will outperform Democrat voters handily.
Not from what I observed during the election.
In my state we use an optical-scanning machine to read the ballots as they’re cast. Most of the time, the ballot goes through the machine and is automatically deposited into a locked compartment. Once in a while, someone will make marks on the ballot where there shouldn’t be, or marks more than one candidate for an office, in which case the machine spits the ballot back out, and we have to look and see what’s wrong so we can instruct the voter on how to correct it.
This election, there were an inordinate number of rejected ballots. I mean a ridiculous number, it seemed like every 3rd person was messing up their ballot, and the mistakes were more creative than I’d ever seen in previous elections. We had people circling the name and putting asterisks by it, we had people who, instead of connecting the ends of the arrows across, would connect them diagonally, making it look like a match-up test. Lots of people tried to mark more than one canditate per office, we even had 2 different voters who tried to vote for 6 different presidents on their ballot. And, I tried not to notice this, I really did, but every single messed-up ballot was done by an Obama voter.
Every. Single. One.
I’m sorry, but anyone who thinks Obama voters are smarter than everyone else has never had to work in a polling place.
I'm willing to bet my life's savings that the most ignorant voters are easily Obama voters. Just talk to my three lib sisters, and you'll come to that conclusion.
Smart enough to know that they can vote themselves more obamaphones and other benefits paid for by ROMNEY VOTERS.
Thank you for the correction. Something I should have known.
It’s like Reagan said, “Well, the trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, but that they know so much that isn’t so.”
I do know many intelligent people who are pro-Obama. The old phrase “too smart by half” seems to fit them nicely.
And liberalism is logical to them.
I LOVE Thomas Sowell!
Education means bring forth from within. Much of the liberal arts degrees are ‘indoctrination’ studies.
Looks to me like the dumb masses are ripe for a piped piper. Growing up I used to ask my German mother, ‘How did Hitler become so powerful?’
If an Obama voter was smart enough to switch her vote to Romney, both groups would end up dumber on average.
trust me pal I;ve met many like that in the the last few weeks, I;ve gone up to them and asked them questions and I come away thinking WOW.
Darned if Tocqueville didn’t nail it with that one.
