[quote=sd_matt]What’s the middle ground between the WP survey and Becks? That is probably the most accurate thing we have since all sides are spun.[/quote]
Yes, clearly reality lies somewhere between ABC/Washington Post (professional news organizations who employ professional statisticians) and Glenn Beck (a race-baiting, hyper nationalist, man-child who, like Father Coughlin and other fascists during the 1930s, makes up convenient facts on the fly intended to stir his followers into a furor).

fishsticksParticipantSurveyor, you’ve made a good point — GW was a little less stupid than we remember, although he did only score a 25% on his pilot aptitude test and never would have been accepted into the Texas Guard had it not been for”affirmative action” from his congressman father. But Bush did have the smarts to dodge Vietnam by entering the Guard, so he did have something going on upstairs.
All due respect, but starting from nowhere, getting through Harvard, and becoming a law professor at the University of Chicago takes a lot more brain power than getting a 25% on your pilot aptitude test. If anyone received the blessings of affirmative action, it was Bush. Had it not been for his family, he’d be running a GM car lot in Houston (and we’d all be a lot better for it).

fishsticksParticipantI knew it: Obama is a non-American Muslim who is actually dumb as a piece of wood and only got into a good school because of “connections” he developed as a lower middle class black kid growing up in Hawaii. Thanks for helping us out on that.
Certainly, the sparkling eloquence and razor-sharp intellect of George W would have gotten him a place on the Harvard law review. Damn affirmative action — always keeping the white man down.
