Political Intelligence
in the early morning on Thursday, the 29th of October 2009 by Capt Jake Fortune
I’m so not surprised.
Under a section called “Partisan Knowledge Gap,” we find Republicans were more knowledgeable by a double-digit factor on four issues. Although the Glenn Beck question is naturally easier for Republicans, the other three issues are basic political knowledge— what “cap-and-trade” means, who’s in control of the House, and who the new Supreme Court Justice is (a question that should perhaps be easier for Democrats). Republicans also led Democrats on identifying the unemployment rate, Fed chairman, Dow level, Max Baucus’ position. Republicans correctly answered an Iran/Israel question and an Afghanistan question more often than Dems. Republicans and Democrats were even on identifying the “public option” as a health-care plan.
But take heart, Democrats: You lead Republicans by five points on a whopping one question.
This explains why it is so hard to actually debate the issues with Democrats, since they’re not educated enough to have an intelligent response. And then you just get sick and tired of hearing platitudes and talking points that you just give up.

when attempting to have a conversation with a lib or dem .. there are a few options when they just do not get it..
yea, you can just give up and go away.
or you have an uncontrolable desire to strangle them.
or you have an uncontrolable desire to bang your own head against something hard to make the pain of talking to a dem/lib.. stop!!
so see there are choices.. sadly none are actually getting through to them! pretty sad huh?
