Making
allowance for dyslexia accounting for one missed answer on this Pew quiz,
which hardest queation is 1+1=?, more than one wrong ought
disqualify one from, well, just about everything. See if you
don't agree. (Thanks to El Jefe)
"You got 1 question correct, along with 2% of the public. Congratulations, you are the 2% and very likely to vote Demorat or Green or to not vote, but spend your free time occupying something. You may also be Kenyan and, therefore, eminently qualified to be POTUS."
First, the test got the immigration question wrong. Republicans are the ones who have pushed for amnesty (Successfully under Reagan, tried under W). Second, wrong Freddie, Republicans want a smaller government. The problem is the founders set up a system making it very hard to make big changes. It takes huge majorities. Majorities only FDR and Obama have seen in the last 100+ years......
Aced that puppy...and didn't even break a sweat. What is sad about this little "pop quiz", even the college graduates only averaged 9.9. Also interesting, that the older the test taker, the higher the average. Wonder if that is due to maturity, being exposed to a more demanding level of learning (back in their school days), or a greater level of "life experiences"?
Got 'em all 'right', but think the question phrasing had D hands all over it. PEW is no right-wing think tank, and supports a lot of NPR/PBS 'propaganda'. Ask them about AGW, or whatever it's called these days... Which party favors smaller government? None of the above (x) tomw
Guess being able to score better than 92% of the public gives me a pretty good impression of what the voting public knows. SHEEEEESHHHH!

ReplyDeleteI am guessing the 4% that got them all wrong did it on purpose. You should get half right by picking at random.
ReplyDeleteWhich party more conservative? Wants less government? Neither!

If by "rights of gays and lesbians" you mean "favored-group rights" and not "Second Amendment rights" then yeah.
ReplyDeleteALL men are created equal...well till you apply for a job or entrance into a state university or ________

ReplyDeleteGrrrr. 12/13 correct.
ReplyDelete11. Is John Boehner a Republican or a Democrat?
That one screws me up every time...
100% - thanks to Professor Schlong.
ReplyDeleteBoehner may have an "R" next to his name, but he's sill a rat bastard commie pinko.
ReplyDeleteBoehner a commie pinko? Thanks. I feel like a pudgy man who enters the room with a whale.

ReplyDeleteJust guessing would get you 50% right, must be some people playing games with it.
ReplyDeleteBut then half the voters have a below average IQ.

Two interesting points from this otherwise silly survey.
ReplyDelete1. All Republicans falsely believe that the Democrat Party has done something to support Gays.
2. All Democrats falsely believe that Lincoln was a Democrat.
