Good post, but this part is stupid: <CNN writes, "These preferences may stem from a desire to show superiority or elitism, which also has to do with IQ. In fact, aligning oneself with "unconventional" philosophies such as liberalism or atheism may be ways to communicate to everyone that you're pretty smart.">> Not really. It is exactly the place from which come Maher or Obermann.....O'Reilly too. Most liberals I see......me included.......are very aware of their intellect and know how to use it to their advantage. People like Maher just do it to excess IMO.

Even 70% of Democrats polled feel that way. •Eighty-three percent say it's extremely or very important for House Republicans to pass legislation that both parties can agree on. Even 77% of Republicans polled feel that way. Still, 39% also say it is important for House Republicans to block legislation the GOP disagrees with, including 55% of Republicans.
