[I]t’s an indication of how irrational this racism is that on everything from welfare to taxes Obama’s policies are far more beneficial to the tens of millions of Whites who comprise the majority of America’s poor. Yet polls indicate that the majority of them will be voting for Romney – whose policies not only favor the rich but, like his pledge to repeal Obamacare, threaten to make these poor Whites even poorer.
(“Romney vs. Obama…,” The iPINIONS Journal, November 1, 2012)
The facts stated and implied in my headline (about smart people voting Democratic and dumb ones voting Republican) have been self-evident for years. But the reason having them published in this context is so noteworthy is that the research is courtesy of none other than the FOX network.
After all, no other entity is more responsible for the political ignorance of those who voted from Romney than FOX News.
You can’t make this stuff up folks….
NOTE: You will notice that, even though it voted for Obama, Nevada is ranked among the dumbest states. But I assure you, this is only because many of its residents are recently naturalized Hispanics who can barely speak English.
