Scientific Evidence that Many Bush Supporters are Stupid

According to a recent study by the University of Maryland's Program on International Policy Attitudes and a California polling company (summarized here), supporters of President Bush are markedly more ignorant and misinformed about his policies than Kerry voters. Just to get the bile flowing: "Three out of 4 self-described supporters of President George W. Bush still believe that pre-war Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction (WMD) or active programs to produce them. According to a new survey published Thursday, the same number also believes that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein provided 'substantial support' to al Qaeda."

Christ. And these people get to decide who runs the country? Reality-based community, indeed...
