Damn, I've got to quit trying to be coherent when typing on a smartphone; it's hopeless. Still, it ought to be fairly easy to figure out WTF I was trying to say.;)
Funny you should mention that; as someone with too high of an IQ to be swayed by ideological (as opposed to logical) arguments, I've found that smartest Republicans I've never met tend to be measurably more intelligent than the smartest Democrats (of course, they're still all idiots to me).
