It means you are a sucker.
DON'T KNOW POST SOMTHING SOMEONE CAN READ.
I'm with Hankey on this one.I keep bumping my nose on my monitor screen trying to read this damn thing!
Agreed... first post is a scam Sorry about that.
Here are real stats.
Click the lower right hand corner link to expand image. Or not if you can see it.
Alfred whats the point?
I know you like pritty images but what the hell are you getting to?
come on man. just come out and say I don't like McCain and palin.
WTF? stop being such a ham get on with it.
You can click on the image and it will be displayed by itself, then use the browser zoom function to make it big enough to read.
If you actually want to know if this is meaningful, you can read all about it here.
If you're not interested, this quote sums it up:
"The relationship between state average IQ and partisanship turns out to be quite mixed. (In the new table, I’ve marked states that voted Republican in 2004 as red, while Democratic states are blue.) Comparing McDaniel's estimated IQ scores to Bush's share of the vote in 2004, I see virtually no correlation: just -0.12."
But, if it makes you feel better, then go ahead and cling to your beliefs.

bla bla blah.

bla blah blah.-mr-hankey-the-d
No, I think Senator McCain is a fine man and the jury is still out on Governor Palin. It’s the party that they represent (and being controlled by) that I am afraid of. I am also sure that they will win the election come November by any means necessary.
I don’t like what GWB, Cheny and his cronies have done to my country. He has bankrupt our standing with the world. Instead of holding the moral compass for the planet we are now despised and hated for our arrogance and stupidity. Team GWB sold our jobs to China, taken a budget surplus that was handed to him by Clinton and sunk our country into record debt funded by foreign money. They have let the corporations run the country until they collapse and you and I have to bail them out. How many Billions of dollars are we going to have to pay to bail out Fannie/Freddie, while their ex CEO’s float away on their million dollar golden parachutes? How many Billions have we dropped into Haliburton/KBR (Isn’t that Cheny’s company) on no bid contracts and yet we haven’t impeached the criminals? They have corrupted the Legal system in this country, turning it into another Republican Country Club. They have trashed the Educational system in this country with their scams. Do you realize there are more honor students in China than all students in this country? What does that have to say for the future of our nation? The state of Health care is a disaster; Emergency rooms are now primary care facilities due to the fact that if you need health insurance you can’t have it. The price of energy has gone through the roof, despite the “hand-holding” relationship between the Bushes and the Saudi’s. What do you think is going to happen in the middle east when the Saudi dictatorship is overthrown by internal dissidents supported by terrorists in Iran? Our military is in shambles due to “The Quagmire” (Cheny’s term) in Iraq. The consequences for our returning troops will affect them for the rest of their generation.
Clinton was impeached for a XX (NSFW) … Team GWB is the epitome of corruption and crony-ism has been XXXXXXX (NSFW) us for close to eight years and you all want us to stay-the-freeking-course?
How can the Republicans, who are ultimately and solely responsible for the mess they have made come off saying its time for a change and THEY ARE THE CANDIDATES FOR CHANGE? Do they think we are stupid? I guess so.
The rich are richer and the poor are poorer and the middle class is quickly sinking into oblivion.
I tell you what, I’ll trade you one constitutional amendment banning abortion for one constitutional amendment granting universal health care for all Americans.
I’ll trade you one constitutional amendment banning gay marriage for one granting the government more control over big business, yeah, taxing windfall profits and an amendment to make the USA self sufficient in energy by 2018.
I’ll even trade one Constitutional Amendment making Christianity the Official Religion in America and English the Official Language in America if these two issues are forever removed from Politics, Government and Education.
The Republicans in charge would never agree to any of this. They wouldn’t have any issues left to fire up the troops.
By the way Mr. Poo… what is the TERROR LEVEL at today?
Freddy may & Fanny are liberal set up hand out plans not bushes babies.
go watch another mike moore movie and get some new amo.
Hey, maybe if we can totally "bankrupt out standing in the world" about 10 million of those illegal immigrants who risk arrest and deportation of their own free will every single day they're here will try to get into a country worth living in - like, say, France (early retirement, anyone?), or Germany, or even Russia.
Intrigued by your Constitutional amendment suggestions, G-P. I really don't think any of them would get the required approval from the states, but your apparent willingness to trade in individual rights without a fight in exchange for the right of government to control every aspect of our daily lives is truly frightening.
I mean, a constitutional amendment to give govenment control of business? WTF? China? Do you really think it's a good idea to give an institution running a $500 billion annual deficit and a total debt accrued over the past 40 years of more than $9 TRILLION DOLLARS any say in how businesses are run?
Yeah, I think that sounds like a horrid idea too.
And in order to validate yor amendment making Christianity the official religion of America, you'd first have to repeal that pesky First Amendment regarding freedom of religion (it also references freedom of speech, but that's another issue.) Personally I like the First Amendment. Don't you?
The TERROR LEVEL among Democrats today is at its highest possible level: Pit Bull With Lipstick Alert. (I think on the color-coded scale, that would be "Pink Parfait.")
Don't know what it is among Republicans, but we ain't backing down at least. Our defense plans are more complex than the Democrats (which are, basically, 1. Talk a lot; 2. Vote to fight; 3. Vote to surrender.) And we certainly aren't like the the French, who only have three levels on TERROR ALERT scale: 1. Run; 2. Hide; 3. Collaborate. 
"I tell you what, I’ll trade you one constitutional amendment banning abortion for one constitutional amendment granting universal health care for all Americans."
So what the hell gives you the rite for universal health care?
you seem so willing to through the rites of others just so you get it easy. man up and take care of your own. Stop waiting for some one to baby you. mikey moore ant going to be there for you.

What Hammie ? People in "I'llaskher" are smarter than people in South Carolina.
Doesn't that make Hankey a genieus ? Looks like those northern states have higher IQs?
Here're some actual statistics, from today's Wall Street Journal via fark.com:
"The US budget is a mess not because of tax cuts (tax receipts actually increased by $785 billion since 2003) or defense spending. It's because Congress has spent like a drunken sailor in a Hong Kong cathouse."
From the article:
"The Bush tax cuts also aren't the budget problem. Until this year federal tax collections have been surging. In the four years after the 2003 tax cuts become law, tax receipts exploded by $785 billion."
and
"The CBO says that, merely in the two years that Democrats have run Congress, federal expenditures are up $429 billion -- to $3.158 trillion."

Funny there is the same story in the Washington Post...
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/09/09/AR2008090901029.html?hpid=sec-nation
"
On Capitol Hill, lawmakers were less focused on the implications of taking over Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac than on casting blame for the rapidly rising deficit.
"This is a doubling by the Democratic Congress, and Congress controls the purse strings," said Sen. Judd Gregg (R-N.H.).
Democrats called that assertion preposterous, noting that much of the increase was the result of measures that received strong Republican support: one to return billions of dollars to taxpayers as part of the economic stimulus package and another to increase war funding. Bush signed legislation this summer to pay for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan through the rest of his presidency, bringing total Iraq spending to more than $650 billion and the total for Afghanistan to nearly $200 billion.
"So they're fully responsible for the increase in the deficit," said Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad (D-N.D.). "All of this happened on their watch, under their president." "

Hammie - that is preposterous. Only Congress approves spending. If they had any guts (to support thier political views) they would have denied the president's proposals. They are gutless. All the while, the president is doing what he has to do to defend the nation. Why don't they stand up (like brave Americans) and let the county know THEY too feel compelled to ensure our safety and prosperity as a nation?
