Do you think Republicans are smart like they think they are?

Well if they're smart, I'm glad I'm not.  As to who's crying now, the whole country should be, with the mess we're in thanks to the Republicans.  The whole world hates us, we're paying higher prices for fuel than ever in history, we attacked a country for reasons based on lies, we failed to capture Bin Laden (how many of you are aware of the Bush family ties to the Bin Laden family?)our economy is shot to heck, poor people have lost many, many Medicaid benefits (did you know in Missouri Medicaid won't pay for canes for blind people?) we have an apparently insurmountable problem with illegal immigrants (Bush's solution is make them pay a fine of $2000, then take a test and if they pass, they stay) and we have the biggest deficit in the history of the country.  When Republicans took over, we had the largest SURPLUS in the history of the country.  Lord, am I glad I'm not smart like the Republicans.

Good call!\n\nI noticed and thought the same thing before the election. \n\nEverybody was saying how it was going to help the Republican party but I kept thinking... 'does this not show that they controlled it all the while....'

No.  It's a typical nutjob Democrat belief.  They keep calling Republican idiots, and these idiot Republicans seem to keep kicking Democrat rear ends in elections, year after year.  The Republicans have won every single national election since 1996.\n\nSome droolers will blame the idiot voter for that.  But they have to say that.  They're inventing a solution to a problem they can't figure out.  That, or Republicans steal elections.\n\nHow about this for an idea:  Americans reject Democrat ideals.  Flatly reject them.  It's the truth, so deal with it.  Don't blame voter I.Q., don't blame Republican trickery, BLAME YOURSELVES.  Democrats are out of touch with the rest of the country.\n\nWe don't like our President being called "Nazi".  We don't appreciate having our soldiers, our sons and daughters, called "the real terrorists".  We won't stand for having the 9/11 victims called "little Eichmanns".  We reject hearing liberals call Islamo-Facists blowing up our children in Iraq "freedom fighters".\n\nAs long as mainstream Democrats talk and act like they hate the U.S., they'll continue to lose national elections.

If you were stuck in the middle as you indicate, then roughly 1/2 the time you would agree with the Republicans and 1/2 the time you would agree with the Democrats.\n\nI like you am somewhere in the middle, however I lean a little bit more to the right as there are more issues that I am conservative on.  That's not to say that I think that the Democrats are all idiots and that everything that they say is bunk.  For environmental issues, they say a lot of good things -- but not all.  \n\nMy problem with the Democratic party is that their basic philosophy is that the American people are stupid and need to be taken care of.  The Republicans on the otherhand feel that Americans are smart enough to know what they want and mostly don't want to be dictated to.

Republicans can only handle one belief about every topic, and usually they don't even use their own brain.  Someone tells Republicans what to believe and they all say "YES SIR".  This is retarded, and it is not freedom.

I have never figured out how middle class and below would vote for a republican even if he was the only one on the ballot. But they do, they actually beleive that bullsh it. How dumb does a person have to be to keep shooting theirselfs in the foot. Have they lost their way. Ask Bill Gates or someother rich Bast ard.

No. I feel that his cronies and his staff do. Bush is merely a puppet. His cronies pull his strings and Bush moves to their whims. He is at fault because as the head man he should be asking questions and I don't think he is bright enough to do this. In fact, his stupidity is what made him appealing to the Republican party. He is a mindless puppet who marches to do whatever his cronies want. He is not bright enough to ask questions or know what questions to ask.

Yah I have said this before, but it fits here too. Some of them just woke up, give them time to check Fox News, whip out the republican party line handbook, maybe check a few blogs and biased websites, then they will tell you what they think.\n Be patient, as people incapable of forming their own opinion you have to be patient with them and eventually they will tell you what they "think"

Did you know the smartest people are the ones that act dumb? Take Einstein, he wasn't a great student in school. And if you see how he talks you wouldn't consider him smart. Most genius are mental and not verbal. Not saying Bush is a genius, just saying he is smarter than you think if you consider how he fooled us all into a war. I wanted Bin Laden's head for 9/11 and got all these innocent dead people instead.

i think they are smart...but they lack some common sense i believe...but heck they make 6 figures a year getting their butt pierced or getting whacked in the jewels so they can do whatever they want...i think it is talent to be able to deal with the pain of what they do to theirselves.

They are the smartest people around, you gotta agree. It's in their nature to be trustworthy and all, at least a good majority of them. Anyway, the answer is yes.

They do.  When you get older, the guys get wiser.  We realize the smarties are the hotties, and the dumbasses are, well, just dumb.  Be patient.

I havent the the URL, but there is a comparrison chart that shows the IQ levels of the "red states" and the "blue states"...you can only guess which ones have the higher IQ...\n\nI have several family members that are republicans, they diddnt vote for him the second time around however because they finally opened their eyes a lil and saw that he is, in fact, a moron.

Yes, Humanist.  \n\nYou were wrong.\n\nOnce upon a time, the Republican Party had a good direction, a good vision for America. \n\nThey have betrayed their own vision and betrayed America by thinking that the end justifies the means.

You hit the nail on the head.  The Republicans think we are all stupid.  What I find really great is all the ideas the Republicans are coming up with now, the Democrates proposed years ago.  Remember when the Republicans laughed at Jimmy Carter for wanting Americans to conserve and use alternative fuels.  If we listed to Carter and did something about oil back then we wouldn't be in the mess we are now.  We wouldn't be fighting for control of the oil in Iraq and we wouldn't have such a high deficit in our tresuary now.  Republicans are so short sighted and not really too intelligent.  They see money and forget about using any common sense.  They believe the rest of America will get excited over $100 like they would.
