"Pandering" is exploiting the voters' weaknesses." Most of the campaign is based on deception and exploiting voters weakness (BTW, I think, both sides are guilty of that). Specifically, remember the alert for events that happened long time ago ? Exploiting people's fear of terrorism and tying it to Iraq and deceiving the people - that is proven to be wrong. Just because Bush/cheney keep making up a new reason, everytime they get caught with their pants down, doesn't make the latest reason the right reason. " think you proved a point. Intelligent people don't take a couple of paragraphs posted by a political satirist as a "study". Intelligent people LOOK AT THE STUDY and determine whether it has ANY basis in fact and whether the statistics are any good. Obviously, you've done neither." That would be fair, provided you are walk the walk and talk the talk too. Look at your post to which I responded : "Of course, if "average" intellect is represented by an IQ=100, then you have to have the same number below as above. Clearly, the above 100s will be voting for Bush. This would certainly appear to be the case based on the participants on this thread." You are implying that all below 100 will vote for Kerry. Doesn't your statement have to pass the same test, mine is required to. Do you have evidence to prove your case ? How do you know what Johns or Tejeks or Amys IQ is ? Do you call yourself intelligent by spouting what what you claim, or have you done any scientific study to prove your point ? If so, would you post a link to your scientific study about their IQs ? Think about your statement. You are pretty much saying that most liberal/democrats have below average IQs. As an example, There are very reputable and very liberal schools like UT Austin, UC Berkeley, UW Madison and others. Do you really think the liberal faculty and student have an IQ of below 100 ? When you speak like this, do you wonder how unintelligent you sound ? Bum.
