Well, it isn't exactly a secret that most Republicans aren't well educated. I'd expect nothing less from a bunch of redneck morons. Keep it coming you braindead fools. You make yourselves look like such idiots. It's hilarious to watch.
Go Obama!
Funny cause all the moochers and deadbeats live in the bankrupt blue states.
Red states are self reliant.
If dems are so educated Why do they have to be bussed into polling stations where black panthers stand guard with weapons.
