| That would be a bad idea because, based on correlations, liberals tend to score higher IQs in America than conservatives do. |

Being "Smart" based on a number does not make you smart in the real world.
Example: Eisenstein had to be reminded to eat. |

| Nah, let whoever is over 18 vote. If they want to vote on someone because they themselves were too stupid to research the candidates, it's their fault, and they'll face the consequences of who they voted for. |

| Also, this idea you've come up with is already an ideology with a name and everything. Forgot what it was called, but it ended in -cracy. It was about knowledge. However, there's a related term, called sophocracy. In sophocracy, the wisest people have the power. It's similar to the most intelligent people having power, but not the same. |

"Liberals I hate liberals think they are better and smarter than everyone "
It's pretty easy to think that as a liberal when there's channels like fox news, and people like Sarah Palin and Michele Bachman. |

1. Fox News is run by the GOP, just like NBC, ABC, CBS, etc. are run by the liberals.
2. -neutral on women Republicans and all that shet- |

@traitii Obama won because of minority vote and minorities tend to have substantially less IQ than white people while the IQ gap between conservative and liberal is not as large |

"That would be a bad idea because, based on correlations, liberals tend to score higher IQs in America than conservatives do."
1. What correlations? Uneducated people (especially those who don't really want to get educated) will usually vote liberal because it means more things like welfare, food stamps, etc...and there is a lot of those people.
2. IQ isn't the problem. We need people who know what they are voting for and the implications of it...too many voters don't have any idea what is going on in America or the world and can't even name the vice president and/or secy. of state.
"If they want to vote on someone because they themselves were too stupid to research the candidates, it's their fault, and they'll face the consequences of who they voted for." But the other people who didn't want that candidate still have to face the same consequences because of the people that didn't research the candidates.
"But then no Republican candidate would ever get elected." I think you've got it backwards... |

1. One of the biggest correlation is that liberal people are typically richer. They are, therefore, less impoverished, less malnourished, less dehydrated, more able to afford education, and healthier in general. All of those factors do help you to maintain your IQ.
2. Higher IQ would correlate with knowledge in general, including knowledge of current issues. Of course, I'm not saying there are any causations here. IQ is not an accurate measurement of intelligence, but I guarantee you that the most intelligent people will have higher IQs on average. |

| Traitii while there is a gap between conservative and liberal IQ that is not as big as the one between whites and minorities. Whites tend to be more conservative so if this was put into effect liberals would lose a very large part of their base (minorities) |

| The richer people are more liberal. They're also more white. The poorer people are more conservative. They're also less white. Coincidence? |

| You are right that nonwhites are more conservative in things like religion women issue etc but they still vote for liberal parties. Nonwhites are the base of the democrat party in US |

"1. One of the biggest correlation is that liberal people are typically richer." If you rephrase it to "rich people are typically more liberal," that would make more sense. Liberals as a whole are not as rich, but the majority of Hollywood IS liberal.
But if liberals are richer, then why would liberals demonize wealth and (as nearly all anti-Republican political cartoons make it look) act like Republicans are the privileged, wealthy folk 'hoarding' wealth and hating the poor? And once again, a large amount of liberal voters are on government support, not wealthy, well-off individuals. If what you say is the case, then why does Hillary Clinton focus so much on "income inequality" if, as you say, the liberals are the more affluent ones?
And...where are you getting all these "correlations"? Hold on a sec, are you referring to 'Murrica sinii, or am I talking about liberals in 'Murrica while you're talking about some place in Europe? |

| But yet it still happens that, in the United States, liberals tend to score higher on IQ tests than conservatives, as proven by evolutionary psychologist Satoshi Kanazawa at the the London School of Economics and Political Science, by a good number of tests. |
