They aren't, one thing I've learned, it's not what you know, it's who you know. Take the company I work for example, our CIO is pretty much technology illiterate. How did this person get a CIO job when they can barely turn on a laptop without having a stroke?
The Dems and Reps are 2 side of the same coin.
-
The smart liberals in Illinois, CT, New York, Detroit, California have done such a great job. :D
-
but they're "Dumb". Right?
They somehow manage to control media, convince 45% of people to pay for the lifestyle of the other 55% who don't work, and win 4 of the last 6 presidential elections handily. They've also managed to send us down courses on amnesty and universal healthcare, and have created millions of new Dem voters by doing so.
But they're dumb. Right?

Smart in the sense of orchestrating the collapse of common sense, prudence, self dignity and responsibility - sure - but you love that so of course you admire all of that
Remember "We changed the world" the night you drove everyone to vote for O-selfie?

Haha. I swear I can never get enough of that. We changed the world!

Well, they are very smart when it comes to lying, cheating and stealing and duping people like the low info voters. But when it comes to actual policy they're as dumb as a box of rocks.

those are their goals. so yes, they've been good at achieving them.
People somehow develop the idea that Libs/obama share the same goals as them, and declare the dems a FAIL. Once you realize the goal of obama is 10 million new broke illegals on the govt teet, you realize he's very smart and very successful.
Well, they are very smart when it comes to lying, cheating and stealing and duping people like the low info voters. But when it comes to actual policy they're as dumb as a box of rocks.
Wrong - their goals are policies like obamacare and amnesty. They've been successful.
Their idea of good policy might be different from yours. But for their goals, they're nailing plenty of them. For your goals, they're not.
The WIN comes when you convince 51% of people that lib goals are bad. That amnesty, obamacare and min wage are bad things. The problem is taht candidates like MITT tend to write romneycare, support min wage, and actually want to push amnesty to permanent status. You don't change things with Mitt. You don't get that. Even if mitt wins, nothing changes.
CRUZ will change things. Mitt's already said, he isn't changing SHIT - he loves min wage incrases, he loves amnesty. Those 2 = more dem voters.

So the Republicans are smarter than the Democrats?
And you're smarter than the Democrats, are you Joe?

That's where the lying, cheating and stealing all fall into one. Like I said, they're good at it. The policies themselves are a failure to the american people

Pretty hard to convince stupid people who are getting free shit.

Yet the Democrat voter rank consistently higher in education and intelligence than Stupid voter :-\
-
240- is your point that they are not stupid but 'evil' in a sense?
I think right politicians are intelligent but cannot relate to all the idiots they need to convince to actually win elections consistently. Dems are much better at this. It's like rational people's regular inability to account for the irrational majority.
-

You think? Do you really equate having a higher education to commonsense? Are you saying that the repubs on the Hill are less educated than those on the left? Let's take Cal Berkely for example. High education, left leaning curriculum, leftist professors (most) yet the lack of commonsense is that of a child. Obama supposedly went to Harvard and Columbia (I say supposedly because there are no transcripts for either, just a body) and he's thrown this country in the shitter.

I think most in congress are very intelligent. I think many of them are morally bankrupt. They capitalize on irrational fears and anger of the extreme parts of their party.
But yes, most of them are lawyers, graduated from good schools and work with numbers and big words all day, and understand how many system work - economies, states, depatments, from macro to micro.
People unable to separate IQ from moral compass from common sense. Typical on getbig. We'll keep calling Hilary "dumb" despite his huge resume, we'll keep calling Mitt "dumb" despite his resume. Sheesh.

7 Reasons Why Liberals Are Incapable of Understanding The World
Townhall.com ^ | 8-23-11 | John Hawkins

To understand the workings of American politics, you have to understand this fundamental law: Conservatives think liberals are stupid. Liberals think conservatives are evil. — Charles Krauthammer Even liberals who've accomplished a lot in their lives and have high IQs often say things on a regular basis that are stunningly, profoundly stupid and at odds with the way the world works. Modern liberalism has become so bereft of common sense and instinctually suicidal that America can only survive over the long haul by thwarting the liberal agenda. In fact, liberalism has become such a toxic and poisonous philosophy that most liberals wouldn't behave differently if their goal were to deliberately destroy the country. So, how does liberalism cause well-meaning, intelligent liberals to get this way? Well, it starts with...
1) Liberalism creates a feedback loop. It is usually impossible for a non-liberal to change a liberal's mind about political issues because liberalism works like so: only liberals are credible sources of information. How do you know someone's liberal? He espouses liberal doctrine. So, no matter how plausible what you say may be, it will be ignored if you're not a liberal and if you are a liberal, of course, you probably agree with liberal views. This sort of close-mindedness makes liberals nearly impervious to any information that might undermine their beliefs.
2) Liberals sources of information are ever present. Conservatives are regularly exposed to the liberal viewpoint whether they want to be or not. That's not necessarily so for liberals. Imagine the average day for liberals. They get up and read their local newspaper. It has a liberal viewpoint. They take their kids to school, where the teachers are liberal. Then they go to work, listen to NPR which has a liberal viewpoint on the way home, and then turn on the nightly news which also skews leftward. From there, they turn on TV and watch shows created by liberals that lean to the left, if they have any political viewpoint at all. Unless liberals actively seek out conservative viewpoints, which is unlikely, the only conservative arguments they're probably going to hear are going to be through the heavily distorted, poorly translated, deeply skeptical lens of other liberals.
3) Liberals emphasize feeling superior, not superior results. Liberalism is all about appearances, not outcomes. What matters to liberals is how a program makes them FEEL about themselves, not whether it works or not. Thus a program like Headstart, which sounds good because it's designed to help children read, makes liberals feel good about themselves, even though the program doesn't work and wastes billions. A ban on DDT makes liberals feel good about themselves because they're "protecting the environment" even though millions of people have died as a result. For liberals, it's not what a program does in the real world; it's about whether they feel better about themselves for supporting it.
4) Liberals are big believers in moral relativism. This spins them round and round because if the only thing that's wrong is saying that there's an absolute moral code, then you lose your ability to tell cause from effect, good from bad, and right from wrong. Taking being non-judgmental to the level that liberals do leaves them paralyzed, pondering "why they hate us" because they feel incapable of saying, “That's wrong," and doing something about it. If you're against firm standards and condemning immoral behavior, then your moral compass won’t work and you’ll also be for immorality, as well as societal and cultural decay by default.
5) Liberals tend to view people as parts of groups, not individuals. One of the prejudices of liberalism is that they see everyone as part of a group, not as an individual. This can lead to rather bizarre disparities when say, a man from a group that they consider to be powerless, impoverished victims becomes the leader of the free world -- and he's challenged by a group of lower middle class white people who've banded together because individually they're powerless. If you listen to the liberal rhetoric, you might think Barack Obama was a black Republican being surrounded by a KKK lynching party 100 years ago -- as opposed to the single most powerful man in America abusing the authority of his office to attack ordinary Tea Partiers who have the audacity to speak the truth to power for the good of their country.
6) Liberals take a dim view of personal responsibility. Who's at fault if a criminal commits a crime? The criminal or society? If someone creates a business and becomes a millionaire, is that the result of hard work and talent or luck? If you're dirt poor, starving, and haven't worked in 5 years, is that a personal failing or a failure of the state? Conservatives would tend to say the former in each case, while liberals would tend to say the latter. But when you disconnect what an individual does from the results that happen in his life, it's very difficult to understand cause and effect in people's lives.
7) Liberals give themselves far too much credit just for being liberal. To many liberals, all one needs to do to be wise, intelligent, compassionate, open minded, and sensitive is to BE LIBERAL. In other words, many of the good things about a person spring not from his actions, but from the ideology he holds. This has an obvious appeal. You can be a diehard misogynist, but plausibly call yourself a feminist, hate blacks, but accuse others of racism, have a subpar IQ and be an intellectual, give nothing to charity and be compassionate, etc., etc., and all you have to do is call yourself a liberal. It's a shortcut to virtue much like the corrupt old idea of religious indulgences. Why live a life of virtue when you could live a sinful life and buy your way into heaven? If you're a liberal, why actually live a life of virtue when you can merely call yourself a liberal and get credit for being virtuous, even when you've done nothing to earn it?

What I'm saying is that Vitter is a liberal. He's a dirtbag. He's a disgusting sexual pervert who is bordering on pedo behavior with wearing a diaper and having hookers change his wet diaper. That's sick and creepy.
And the GOP doesn't boot him out. So if they're willing to endure pedo sicko hooker hypocrisy, I don't know how they can complain when shithead libs do the same thing.

if a blanket statement is accurate than it's appropriate. saying 'no one' does something without the made-up reason you attached it not only blanket but inaccurate.

People choosing one of only 2 available sides.
Talking shit about the 50% of the population that choose the other side.
And being convinced that they themselves they are the enlightened ones.
For choosing the right party out of a sum total of 2.
And then disengaging their brains and agreeing with their side on almost every issue.
And calling this democracy.

it's dems and repubs. Because if you're not standing on the rooftops shouting it down, you're condoning it in hopes of getting those votes.
Larry Craig and Vitter weren't booted for their sex crimes. nothing else to say. dems and repubs are both bad.
