Are Bush Supporters DUMB?

THE RESULTS ARE IN... The Daily Mirror 8nov04

The huge reaction to our brilliant US election front page has been overwhelming.
George Bush supporters have bombarded us with emails stating that, contrary to our front page headline (below) they are NOT dumb.
But we can now reveal that in a survey comparing intelligence levels between the various US states a certain pattern emerged...

Here's the average IQ by state according to the Ravens APM
This comparison is drawn by an individual whom does not vote
for 2 reasons:
	1. The majority votes does not ensure a presidency.
	2. The elector does not by law have to vote for majority
	    only 2 of the 50 states have laws forcing this.

As a result, I do not bitch either way.  It seems pointless to vote
for something that only amounts to a suggestion in the end.

It is interesting when the slower half of the country moves the
 more intelligent half.

Draw your own conclusions about education vs. votes

U.S. ELECTION DISASTER: THE WORLD MOURNS.

Nov 4 2004

"I'm not sure in the light of the last four years whether the Bush team have got the skills to heal a divided America.

"Not only do we have a divided America but also we have a president who is highly polarising in his approach to world politics"

"There is a basic lack of understanding, which is lasting and deep, between the American people and the rest of the world and it goes in both directions. The world no longer understands very well what America is."

"The Americans have voted for a militarised Rambo rather than someone who appeals to their reason"

"But I do not believe that he will be more willing to listen to it during the second period than during the first."

"I think that people in the United States still don't understand how much Bush is hated all around the world"

"We are going to see more extremism come out of the U.S. We are going to see even more isolation where Americans will not bother about the United Nations. To me that is a very sad affair."

"Bush is the most hated man in the region. His mentality is naturally against Islam and Muslims. Kerry would have been better for the plain reason that he is not Bush."

"The temptation for Europe to define itself as 'Not America' will be increased."

"Bush will interpret victory as a validation of his policies. I don't expect a second term to be any more moderate - on the contrary."

"We have a dangerous killer on the loose with a mandate to mount further wars. He has threatened Syria, Iran, North Korea and Cuba. Many people will feel that his re-election will make the world a more dangerous place."

Like it or not America, this is what a very large part of the world thinks.
