Last night on ABC's Boston Legal, Hollywood again described McCain-Palin voters as idiots. But actual science tells a different story: The latest scientific Zogby poll shows that Obama voters were literally the dumbest collection of voters ever to participate in a US election. So dumb in fact that Just 2% of voters who supported Barack Obama on Election Day obtained perfect or near-perfect scores on a post election test which gauged basic knowledge of statements associated with the presidential tickets during the campaign.
The Obama campaign successfully appealed to the lowest common denominator on the intelligence scale, depending heavily on slogans like "change" and "yes we can", and the development of an unprecedented (for the United States) cult of personality.
below is a video of exit-poll interviews with Obama supporters. While the interviews shown in the video are not a scientific representation of Obama supporters, Zogby's poll is:
Data from howobamagotelected.com
512 Obama Voters 11/13/08-11/15/08 MOE +/- 4.4 points
97.1% High School Graduate or higher, 55% College Graduates
Results to 12 simple Multiple Choice Questions
57.4% could NOT correctly say which party controls congress (50/50 shot just by guessing)
81.8% could NOT correctly say Joe Biden quit a previous campaign because of plagiarism (25% chance by guessing)
82.6% could NOT correctly say that Barack Obama won his first election by getting opponents kicked off the ballot (25% chance by guessing)
88.4% could NOT correctly say that Obama said his policies would likely bankrupt the coal industry and make energy rates skyrocket (25% chance by guessing)
56.1% could NOT correctly say Obama started his political career at the home of two former members of the Weather Underground (25% chance by guessing).
And yet.....
Only 13.7% failed to identify Sarah Palin as the person on which their party spent $150,000 in clothes
Only 6.2% failed to identify Palin as the one with a pregnant teenage daughter
And 86.9 % thought that Palin said that she could see Russia from her "house," even though that was Tina Fey who said that!!
Only 2.4% got at least 11 correct.
Only .5% got all of them correct. (And we "gave" one answer that was technically not Palin, but actually Tina Fey)

This is more a failing of the media (which was disgracefully and unabashedly in the tank for Obama) than the electorate.
ReplyDeleteFunny you should mention the Boston Legal thing. For God-only-knows what reason, I actually watched it last night [for the second time in my life]. Never. Again.
ReplyDeleteHad they also polled McCain voters with similar questions and different results this might have been newsworthy but ...
ReplyDeleteEven so, given the choice between a local street organizer and the ever "respectful," brain dead McCain - evil-by-proxy vs. sheer incompetence couldn't lose.
ReplyDeleteALMOST ALL MY FRIENDS ARE BACK & BECAUSE THEY ARE MY FRIENDS THEY ARE HONEST TO ME WHEN THEY HAVE TOLD ME THEY VOTED FOR HIM FOR ONLY TWO REASONS , 1 HE WAS A DEM , 2 HE WAS BLACK, & ALL THE INFO THEY HAVE GAVE ME ON WHAT THEY KNOW CLEARLY SHOWS THAT MEDIA GAVE THEM THE INFO THAT THEY CONSIDER FACT WHEN LIES WERE WHAT THEY WERE... SAD TO ME AND OUR FOREFATHERS, WHO DIED FOR LIES OVER REAL FACT , GOD!!! BLESS AMERICA, FUNNY AYERS & WRIGHT ARE STARTING UP AGAIN, THEY FEEL SAFE NOW I,M SURE,,,, USNR
ReplyDeleteObama lied about his connections to Ayers, Ayers has now told us his connections are much closer than Obama admitted to. This is Change, we now have a President who is friends with a convicted Domestic Terrorist.
ReplyDeleteObama claims to be a Christian when he attended a 'Church'(sic) that in no way resembles any Christian church I have attended, nor does Wright’s teachings resemble anything I have read in the Bible. This is my Hope, that the Hate and Envy of Obama’s church doesn’t turn into official policy in the Obama Administration.
Obama and his supporters claim to love America, yet embrace Socialism. An Ideology that is antithetical to the Constitution and the recorded words of the Founding Fathers. For some reason I cannot find the clause in the Constitution that makes the rich, less equal than the poor. It has to be there, since all the Liberals want to treat them differently.
Obama and his supporters claim to love the American Dream, yet vilify those who have actually achieved it. The American dream has never been a Government guaranteed middle class job, health care and retirement. It has always been the promise of achieving anything you want to.
The poll clearly shows the uninformed nature of the Obama Voter (OV) in general.
-The OV remembered negative tidbits about McCain and Palin, whether they were true or not. And even wanted to believe negative tidbits about Obama and Biden were about McCain or Palin.
-The OV were clearly uninformed about their own candidates and those candidates’ lapses in judgment.
-The OV were clearly uninformed about the current make up of Congress and its key figures even in their own Party. Yet they claimed to know why the economy was bad and who to blame?
It just shows how much a cult figure Obama is to the kool aid drinkers.
Conservatism is not a failure! It is the constant attempts by some Conservatives to reach across the aisle and work with Liberals. The moderation of the Republican Party is a failure. The only reason to reason to reach across the aisle is to smack the liberals on the back of their stupid heads. Bush, McCain and many other Republicans tried to work with the Democrats and all they got was opposition and lies. The true Conservatives had no problem winning their re-elections, while the moderates faltered. The Democrats have shown they have no intention to compromise or work with Republicans on any issue, so the neither should the Republicans.
Why does this surprise any of you? The Democrats market their "Bag O' Tricks" to ignorant voters every 2 years.
ReplyDeleteBy now, everyone should know the Democrat base is made up of Convicted Felons (Rapists, Murders, Thieves, and Pedophiles), Communists, Marxists, Illegal Aliens, and Perverts.
Sadly, the Conservatives decided to stay home, the psycho left came out of the woodwork, and many well intentioned individuals fell for the Democrat bait and switch once again.
BTW, we can thank George Bush, Karl Rove, Rush Limbaugh and the rest of the Neocons for Barack Hussein Obama. While he's not the first black president, he certainly is the first illegal alien President. If you don't know what I'm refering do a search on Obama and Lawsuit. Barack Obama isn't even a U.S. Citizen.
