16. Call me crazy, but ...
I think the repukes know exactly how to get their votes. It's no accident that they don't fund education. The dumbing down of America has proven to be a big bonus for the republican party.

Think of it - how many times do you hear freepers talk about liberals as "intellectual elite" and make it sound as though it's a bad thing? That's the same kinda crap you heard in fifth grade from the stupid kids in school - the dumb kids always hated those brainy kids.

The republican party has purposely dumbed down America by not funding education, and programs for the poor, because it's what helps them in the voting booth. It's easier to use fear of terrorist attacks, gays, illegal immigrants, etc... when your audience can't think for themselves.
