does dumbya consider election results fuzzy math or junk science?

He doesn't know the difference.

There have certainly been cases - even recently - where the pollsters simply 'interview dogs and cats' to get the results their paymasters would like to hear. Yet, they ALL claim to be accurate within + or - 3%.... How does that work?\nMaybe they're useful in some ways, but how about stopping them 24 hours before the vote?

I wondered that exact thing.  Why would he say something so stupid so close to the elections?  This may in fact be the surprise.

Well, not really. I guess that's why knowledge is so important. So that you can figure it out which one is diamond and which one is fake. So honestly, if you believe in something, it's because of your knowledge that make you feel that way.\n\nProof? Compare the intellect of any real successful and religious(not because his mom says so) people with morons. Much different.\n\nI take it you refer to religion choice. Just investigate whatever you feel suspicious about and increase your knowledge along the way. Sooner or later, you'll find the real answer to your problem.

Democrats are not dumb.  I know several who are very intelligent.  They just tend to be like sheep.  They believe everything any liberal says as if it where the word of God himself.  Just look at the garbage on moveon.org and you'll see what I mean.  Don't judge our democratic friends, just help educate them.

Didn't Uncle Jeb run one of those tests on the Elderly of Florida during the 2000 election with Al Gore/ Bush. I heard Al Gore won Florida, and then "HUH" for some reason the Elderly in Florida weren't competent enough to vote. The Republican media said the Elderly were incompetent of voting when they had voted for 50 years. So yes I think an IQ test should be required to keep the idiots away from politics.

that is funny bc just today, i asked my teacher if she was a repub or  demo. and she said she voted by person. i thought that is becoming more common to judge by individual beliefs instead of party, but then she said that she voted for george bush bc he was cuter than kerry. that threw me off!!!

nope he's distilling the information. not knowing the particulars I'd guess its complicated.. its far better he take the time to research it than make a snap decision based on his personal opinions.(they can do this if they want to).. so it is a good thing. He intends to be fair and impartial basing his decisions on facts

... I'm really not trying to estimate how "dumb" he is anymore... he continually surprises me every time I think I have an idea of how dumb he is... constantly finds a way to make me go "wow... I didn't even think he was that dumb".... \n\nhe's like some sort of "dumbness magician" and he keeps on pulling more "dumb" out of his pocket, just when you think he can't possibly do anything more to prove his lack of intellect... it's really almost impressive at times...

Because they work. If done well, they are highly accurate. Political campaign ads are based on the same kind of polling data, so politicians who say they do not believe in polls, or use them, are living because they use the same methods and techniques almost daily.\n\nLook at all the advertising based on data mining and marketing analysis. If you could not predict how large numbers of people will behave based on a sample of that population there would be no such thing as advertisements and commercials because they would not be effective. However, we are surrounded by it because it works. It works so well in fact, that companies like amazon.com will not even reveal how many mathematicians they employ, let alone  what they are working on.\n\nSampling is a complex issue itself and there are different methods and strategies that can be applied depending on the information you want to gather.

Judging from how you formed your question, I don't think his IQ is the one you should be primarily worried about. There were mass e-mails, that were turned into urban legend about Bush's IQ being the lowest ever, but that was pretty much debunked by snopes. I think when you consider his academic accomplishments, even having high grades than his opponent in the last election, when he was in college, you see that he isn't really a dim guy. Now, if by the whole world means what some guy who couldn't handle a semester at a University of Michigan satellite school in Flint spliced together for film, then you do get a totally different idea. It is totally understandable to come to the conclusion that he's a dope. With an objective eye, looking at what is known about the man as a whole, knowing that when he ran for the Texas House of Representatives, and knowing that he lost because they figured him for a brainiac who would look past the needs of the people he would serve, knowing that he scored a 1206 on his SAT, putting him at about a 129 IQ roughly, I'd say "How much IQ has George Bush got?" isn't what you want to say. You want to say that you want to belong to a group that persecutes without knowledge of facts. Your goal is to feel as though you're making a cogent statement against someone by asking such a half minded question. If you want to ask ant question, ask "Why do I buy into what I am told, and do not seek out the correct information on my own?"

When I posted something about this earlier, I was met with .... what do you think?\n\n"Oh gosh, that's terrible!  I'll pray for him"\nor\n"I'm so embarrased.  I'm anxious to find out more about this.  What a hypocrite if it's true."\n\nhahahaha!\n\nNo!  I was met with "Hmmm!  Funny this should come out before the election!"  and "Atheists have gay sex too"

No, but I read a good review of it on salon.com.  \n\nTo answer your other question, most GOP voters are not that bright. Plus, no one (intelligent or not) likes to admit that they were wrong, or that they were responsible for voting a dimwitted crook into office.  In psychology, this clash between perception and fact is called "cognitive dissonance."  The only way to get rid of it (since you can't change the facts) is to change your perception.  So they choose to perceive Bush as a moral guy and that solves the mental clash.
