Uh... if you're insinuating that the only culture, grammar and front teeth only exist in the cities... I'd like to point out I've seen more NYC'ers with fewer teeth, deplorable grammar(remember ebonics?) and really bad culture(Where da ho's and drugs at?) than any where else. Believe me, I'm waiting for NYC to slip and fall into the ocean.

Yes, I do... most universities are liberal dens, which makes me want to puke.
However, I returned to my hometown to vote, of which Genesee County proudly voted for Bush.
TSN, the EC balances the overwhelming majority of urban areas over the nation, not just a single state. In Maryland, with the EC, the candidates would only have to visit Baltimore. However, they would have to still campaign in every other state as well. However, without the EC, all the candidates would need to do is visit the most populated cities, ie. NY, LA, Miami, Chicago and Seattle.

All that reading and whatnot. Libraries can turn you into a real commie.

Jeff Kardde, I shall dispute that point until the day I die. You said yourself that you think Rush Limbaugh is stupid, blowhard, idiot etc.
I used to hate Rush Limbaugh. I thought he was an idiot too. But I started to listen to his show. He would make claims that I thought were retarded... So just to prove him wrong, I researched, and found quite a bit of it was TRUE. I do listen to him all the time now, but along with it, I research what he says because he brings the news articles and I can read for myself.

I'll put my B.A., M.S.L.I.S., breadth and depth of reading and research, and massive body of accumulated data against that of anybody else here, any day of the week.
I'll have to look up those statistics, but I believe it's a statistical fact that the average Republican has at least a college degree, while the average Democrat has a high-school education.
Of course, that might be a reflection of the high number of inner-city and minority democrats, and shouldn't necessarily hold true for all of them. Obviously, a number of college profesors are Democrat/Socialists.

Did you guys like, not make the football team in highschool, and sulk around because you weren't respected and didn't get pussy?
Now, in menial little discussions with people you don't even know, it's a penis measuring competition, 'cept your penises are 'how much you know'.
Y'know, it's fine that you're interested in stuff, and go out and learn about it, but when you, "Yeah, well, I'm the startest guy I know, I read forty books a day, and have an IQ 186. I know Japanese, German and Turkish, I can recite each of the works of Shakespeare by heart, and I'm a Star Trek fan.", it seems to me like you're only trying to convince yourself that you've been vindicated in your once considered nerdly pursuits, and are now "cool".
Fine, you're smart. I read that before. and probably will again. Good for you. I'm really proud. I just don't want to read it again.
If you want to be considered smart, let your actions speak.

You don't like it? Then either contribute something meaningful, or put a crane under that carcass of yours and haul it out of this thread, because whining about the direction the conversation has taken won't help.

It's just that, while I, and many other forum inhabitants do indeed know of your unspeakable intelligences, it seems a little 'own horn tooting', when you announce it again and again.
This discussion about wether or not Democrats are dumber than Republicans is terribly petty. None of you definitively say wether one side is smarter than the other. And no "well, generally...", because those are no better than "Yeah, well, generally black people are on welfare and crack addicts." Both are statements borne of ignorance.

Perhaps at least partly true. After all, we've all seen evidence that 'educated' does not necessarily equal 'smart,' just as 'udenducated' does not necessarily imply 'stupid.'
However, those cases are in the minority.
As to blacks -- I never said anything about them.
I said "inner city residents tend to be democrats" a fact borne out by the map above, which shows democrat votes largely corresponding with urban areas.
since a large number of inner-city schools are notable for their large class sizes, low budget-per-student, lower-than-average quality of education, and high dropout rate, it is reasonable to say that inner-city residents tend to be less educated.
(1st-year College Philosophy/Logic follows) Therefore, Using Boolean logic, we see that "tend to be democrats" and "tend to be less educated" are both large subsets of "inner city residents," and will tend to (but not necessarily always) overlap.
Of course, this fails to account for SW Pennsylvania, Appalachia, and the Mississippi valley, none of which qualify as Inner City but all of which voted heavily Democratic. (Except that those regions are noted for educational insufficiencies as well.)
