lame
Im a Xbox 360 fanboy...and damn proud of it!!
actually theres a chart from 2004 thats pretty much the same
of course he got 85% of the black vote, Republicans never get that vote except when they try to pass themselves off to the religious group of blacks like Bush did
But really though black republicans are a rare thing, Obama simply got them out to vote

bs propaganda from the left.
plus, look at the top 5 states. those states have many, many colleges/universities there. do you think whoever made this chart bothered to separate out these students and place them into their home states? very doubtful.
do you really think that they subjected every person in every state to an IQ test?
If not, I can make pretty charts too....!
i can make a poster too saying the opposite

"An appeal to arms and the God of hosts is all that is left us. But we shall not fight our battle alone. There is a just God that presides over the destinies of nations. The battle sir, is not of the strong alone. Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it almighty God. I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death."

That chart doesn't say much to me. There are lies, damn lies, and statistics. If anything, the high IQ states likely have alot of Independent voters - for obvious reasons. IMO, there are 3 types of voters

It just so happens that Obama did well this time with Independent voters. That has always been his strong point and that is all this chart reflects.
Naturally the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in
America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the
country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along,
whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist
dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the
leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and
denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the
same in any country. - Hermann Goring
The results are clear and obvious!

The so-called "factiods" posted at the front of this thread are old, tired crap from the moveon.org website - the favorite place of poorly read Gey x losers who couldn't come up with an original idea if their life depended on it..
CT has a bunch of old money who has never had to work, and inner cities who don;t work anyways. the IQ is purely from all the jobs we have in insurance and finance. It was imported I am sure.
So Rod your saying that black people used discrimination against republican unless they are religious.
Oh by the way my IQ was over 130 in the 4th grade and I voted McCain maybe I was smart enough to see Obama was a bad choice.
Let me throw something else out there, those that use statistics to back and aid their truths and arguments argue well and understand their point, those that use their statistics as truths have no real argument. By the way where did you find this fun little set of facts.
Oh yea 70% of statistics are made up rule 1 in my AP stat class.

So you are "smart enough" to have your own OPINION? Because what you said certainly seem to be insinuating that "Obama was a bad choice" as if it where a fact. And as a highly intelligent person - surely you know the difference between fact and opinion? Of course you do...
Now if you are insinuating that the more intelligent potion of the US voting population voted for McCain(naturally all intelligent people would surely agree with your opinions), you're as backwards and arrogant as the OP in this thread.
As for the very premise of the thread, you may want to know that IQ test have actually been proven to be relatively useless and not an accurate gauge of actual intelligence. Its roughly paramount to measuring acceleration based solely off the current speedometer reading.
I now have -2 posts remaining this month. That is all.

My point was more to the effect of evicting a repsponse from Rod. No mine was to say I think Obama is a terrible choice and as I stand in my opinions it is a mistake. Not all results are black and white in whether or not they are mistakes.
I was pointing out the fact that someone with a higher IQ than any of the ones posted in the OP went against the curve and stating his facts to be useless. Everyone in this country is entitled to their opinion that is one of the reasons this country is great.
A bad choice and a mistake can be based off of what was the desired result and the end result. I do not want nationalized health or care higher taxes therefore Obama being in the white house is a mistake.
I am more than aware that the IQ test only shows the reasoning and problem solving skills of individuals and not the entirety of a person's processing capability yes, I in full agree that this matter is dumb but it is fun to show people that the small things people cling to in order to feel superior are funny.
Now comeback spend your last two posts for this month I want to hear what you have to say.

M-1, as someone who ended slightly higher on that test you mention, let me tell you, it does not matter. Extremely smart people can be extremely stupid people. it is a matter of common sense vs book sense. While I feel I should mention that I will probably change my voted registration to either independent or Republican, I will say the demographics of the party make it hard to sustain. The big lie to inner city people is that the government owes them something. By far the largest group of democrats is in the city, ask yourself why that is. Everything someone has in NYC is subsidized so the poor can live there and serve the wall street and other types. Do some research and tell me how they voted, it is blatant.
I am glad that Obama got elected for one reason alone. My entire life I have been the minority percentage in my school. It has always been anger and disdain against whites. I will truly enjoy when in 4 years nothing changes significantly enough, and they have no one to blame for holding them back.
While I will never apologize for my opinions they are open to debate. Please do not post to this and tell me I am racist or shallow minded etc etc, I am sure you have lived a different life with different experiences.

Come on man. I will be straight up nothing annoys me more than "independants" by independants I mean the ones who act as though there the only smart ones and they are too good be associated with either party. It really rubs me the wrong way. The whole attitude of the majority of independants like yourself who act as if they are better than everybody who votes or admits they generally agree with one party over the other.
It is very hard to be an independant when everything is so partisan. On issues you either agree with the left or the right. There usually is not much middle ground.
I know there are many independants who are sick of both partys because of the deep corruption and class warfare ect. that goes on. They are sick of everything being so partisan. These are the folks I can relate to. These are the folks most people can relate to. They are also the ones who don't want anything to do with idependants like yourself.
While we are on this indendant thing. Another thing that really got to me was the number of black people who claimed to be independant but were obviously very socialist in their views and of course voted for Obama but identified themselves as independants when asked.
FORGET GIRLS GONE WILD WE HAVE GOVERNMENT SPENDING GONE WILD!
I just looked at the chart above again and have a question. I thought it was just CT but is there something seriously wrong with the schools outside of New England, is there some bias I did not see? That chart is more top heavy than dolly parton for N.E.

on most issues the correct answer is usually IN the middle. the problem IS partisanship

Thank you tabs. I was out of posts. Its sad when people think they only choices are the ones laid out to them from the outer wings of the 2 parties.
Lets apply that logic to prison terms - If a person is convicted of
any crime(including speeding etc), he/she
A - automatically should serve life in torture-chamber style prison(or death penalty)
or
B - should be immediately pardoned and released.
Those would be the 2 stupid extremes and obviously common sense is not in either extreme choice. The correct choice is none-of-the-above. Reasonable punishment befitting the crime is the common sense approach. However, reasonable approaches do no often come out of partisan politics. What you have instead is 2 sides arguing over which stupid extreme is correct.

The example I was thinking of was abortion. Although it seems they often try and make every issue a partisan thing. We are all in agreement partisan politics is the problem. We are all in agreement most people are not far left or far right.
My point was more that the two create an uneeded divide where you pick one side or another or are silenced because indepenadants don't have a chance. And I know what you are going to say is something along the lines of they don't have a chance because people don't vote for them because they don't have a chance and the only way to fix that is to vote independant. It is a giant revolving door.
FORGET GIRLS GONE WILD WE HAVE GOVERNMENT SPENDING GONE WILD!
Abortion, at least to me, is still not a black and white issue:
Should someone be allowed an abortion if they were raped, or if the embryo implanted in the fallopian tube? Yes
Should someone be allowerd an abortion if it's basically "whoops, I effed up?" Not likley. Maybe allow 1, but sterilize the woman AND the father in the proccess.
Don't say it's right or wrong unless you hear the case itself. From there, judge, but not until you have the full story of the situation at hand.
Nothing is ever black and white, it's not only many shades of grey, but amny hues of color, and many degrees of transparency. EVERYTHING has to be taken in context per situation, and there's never a single universal answer.
Partisan politics--be it bipartisan, tripartisan, or polypartisan politics, try to sell a universal answer when there's no real such thing.
I think the point that BK3K, tabs, and I try to say is this: Pick your choces based on the here and now and the given circumstance. Pick your politicians based upon how they stand on all issues rather than "the lesser of two evils" or which clique they associate with. And never vote against someone/something you believe in because it's endorsed by something you don't believe in.
