New CNN Poll: GOP divided over tea party movement

<snip>The poll indicates that demographically, tea party Republicans are more likely to be male, older, and college educated, with non-tea party Republicans more likely to be younger, less educated, female, and less likely to say they are born-again or evangelical. Both groups are predominantly white.

1. Propagandizing

smarter people has more effect.

It's not the poor who support Rush Limbaugh. Although they pay for it.

2. At state funded colleges with the GI bill and worked for the government after

bastards....

Not nooz, but expert... or dunce, depending on who you read.

8. That is a brilliant book!

So sad that Tony Judt died at such a young age.

[nadinbrzezinski]

15. Yup, but depending on who you ask

...

A little bit of education is a dangerous thing

Smart enough to be able to read the ballot, but too dumb to see through the advertising directing them to the ballot.

4. They may have gone to college and received a degree

But whether they were educated is doubtful.

6. Ditto Cairy! See my #5!

10. I was just going to say

1) How many classes did they miss
2) They never outgrew that twenty-something me me me complex
3) I bet they were the liquored-up face-painters and the football games with the foam finger.

25. lol... i like this

5. May have 'attended' college; doesn't mean they were 'educated!'

[arbusto_baboso]

7. Hell, Sister Sarah attended college.

And she's still dumber than a box of hair.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

9. Many people come out of college trained but not educated

That is, they know how to do a specific job, but they have no intellectual interests or curiosity and forgot everything non-job related right after they passed the test on it.

[Brother Buzz]

14. That is the correct response

Critical thinking is hard work.

[Lyric]

11. Or it could indicate that Teabaggers are good at lying.

Which we all know is true anyway.

16. Good answer!1 My measly reply was going to be, So why

can't they spell and why do they have such ignorant opinions.




On Edit: In my original post I spelled it "measley," which was self-undercuttingly ironic either in a hilarious or in a pathetic way. So I guess the 'Baggers don't have Spell Check on their signs and I just don't use it.

12. Now look who's the elites

Wine sipping, cheese munching surrender monkeys.

:rofl:

[no_hypocrisy]

13. It doesn't show. EOM

[Mz Pip]

17. So they say...

Telling the truth doesn't seem to be a high priority with these folks or the candidates they support.

[newfie11]

18. These the same people that can't spell??

The ones I've seen on TV look like they didn't make it out of grade school.

[Bucky]

19. Not surprising. People vote their interests

Republicans are marvelously adept at appealing to people's interests.

[mmonk]

20. First, I'm not buying it. Have you seen these yahoos?

They are not smarter than a 5th grader.

[NNN0LHI]

22. The one that lives across the street from me is a retired math teacher

Smart as a whip too. Book smart that is. No common sense to speak of though.

21. Educated sociopaths, I go to school with some of them.

They are disconnected socially, show little emotion and the world circle around them. They are quite brilliant but lack people skills or sense of "community".

[Odin2005]

23. A lot of engineer-types and accountant-types are RW nuts.

Probably because the kind of personality that is drawn to those fields is a person with a very concrete and black-and-white thinking that is low in imagination and empathy.

[Golden Raisin]

24. And learned nothing.
