The “Test” You Should Have To Take Before Being Allowed Into The Voting Booth
I know MANY of you will agree with me that voters should have to take some form of simple test to see if they are even ’smart’ enough to be voting for people in our government.
When we go to the polls in November, the majority of the people who will impregnate the ballot for Hussein will do so with very little or no ‘civics’ knowledge, or current events intellect … and more than likely are NOT smarter than a fifth grader … or possibly even a second grader.
THAT, my friends, is very, very scary.
Take the TEST in this link, and give us your results in comments.
I got a 91%, missing the Dow Jones question.
According to the results, most fall within the 50% range.
(nods to my buddy Double Tap)
12 for 12 correct. 97%
Send me a prize!
July 22nd, 2008 at 1:47 pm12 for 12, 97%. But honestly, I would think that Dollardites will score in the 90 percentile range.
July 22nd, 2008 at 1:50 pm59, couldn’t figure the situation of all the mentionned persons
so if the average is 60 , not bad though
July 22nd, 2008 at 1:54 pmsince it’s only one year that I came across with american politicians on that board, that usely aren’t in our medias

Good quiz. It should be mandatory.
July 22nd, 2008 at 2:03 pm91%

July 22nd, 2008 at 2:48 pmFuck this test.
12 for 12, 97%.
July 22nd, 2008 at 2:49 pm97! woot - of course i am a political science major
July 22nd, 2008 at 2:57 pmdrill
btw, i dont think the questions that one could only know by watching the news (like the oprah question) should be on a right-to-vote test. i think someone would be smarter to not watch the msm ever.
July 22nd, 2008 at 3:00 pm12 of 12 … 97%. Woohoo!
July 22nd, 2008 at 3:05 pm10/12 83% 2 of them stumped me.
July 22nd, 2008 at 3:12 pm10/12 83% 2 of them stumped me
July 22nd, 2008 at 3:14 pm11 out of 12. 91%
July 22nd, 2008 at 3:14 pm12-12…I am an over achiever!
July 22nd, 2008 at 3:18 pmGive me a perfect score! Hot Damn!
You mean to tell me the mean for college graduates is 63%? That’s pathetic…
July 22nd, 2008 at 3:20 pm91. Bricked on the last one.
July 22nd, 2008 at 3:39 pmgot 97%
July 22nd, 2008 at 3:41 pmI thought Dow was down near 10,000, 91%
July 22nd, 2008 at 3:46 pm12/12 97%
The truly scary thing about the tests results was the question the fewest people got right.

5. Do you happen to know the name of the current majority leader of the U.S. Senate?
answer: Harry Reid
Correct 24%
July 22nd, 2008 at 4:19 pmI took this test yesturday and got a 91% I missed the Dow Jones question? and I new better.
My wife took the same test and scored a 59% and she’s English. and does not watch the news like I do. What’s that tell you about the American average?
allthough I was surprised about the college Avg.
July 22nd, 2008 at 4:19 pm12 of 12 - Now can I go to Iraq?
July 22nd, 2008 at 4:21 pmIf you answered all the questions correctly (12/12) then you made a 100%.
Which I’m assuming puts you in the 97% percentile.
To claim you made a 97% when you get 12/12 is incorrect.
Not to be an @$$ about it.
I was in the 91 percentile, I thought 5000 of our finest had made the ultimate sacrifice in Iraq.
The demographics comparisons are shocking & dismal.
July 22nd, 2008 at 4:26 pm12 of 12
97%
12 for 12 97 percentile
July 22nd, 2008 at 5:09 pm91%..Dow got me too. Must be why I am not rich…lol.
July 22nd, 2008 at 5:12 pm12 of 12….=100%….97th percentile by their reckoning. As expected, this is an exceptional bunch here.
July 22nd, 2008 at 5:48 pm11 of 12. Thank you internet!

July 22nd, 2008 at 6:28 pm10 out of 12. Bet most people at my school would get about 4/12. I couldn’t remember Kosovo or Federal Reserve guy.
July 22nd, 2008 at 6:37 pm83 for me…
July 22nd, 2008 at 6:59 pm91 Kosovo got me….
July 22nd, 2008 at 7:26 pmHere’s Your Score: You correctly answered 12 of the 12 possible questions along with approximately 3% of the public. You did better than 97% of the general public.

Now you must listen to me….

July 22nd, 2008 at 8:43 pm100%, 12 out of 12, but I am a member of Mensa, I should hope to get 100%. And to think that I am just a mind numbed conservative robot, imagine that.
July 22nd, 2008 at 9:14 pmProfessor Bill
Mensa?!?!?!?!!!?
How do you get your knuckles up off the floor and unclenched from around your Bible and gun long enough to read anything else? …
July 22nd, 2008 at 9:43 pmOuch.
9/12 for a Canadian that knows more about American politics than most Americans.
Keep up the good fight.
July 23rd, 2008 at 2:48 am91 11/12
July 23rd, 2008 at 2:52 am10 of 12!!! 83
July 23rd, 2008 at 3:14 amYes it is very scary. When you consider that 90% of the black population will vote for him simply because he is black.(well half black)It’s the OJ trial all over again, except Obama isn’t going to hide out in Florida.
July 23rd, 2008 at 4:34 amI would have aced the test, but I’m so used to Greenspan, I’d forgot he was replaced.
11/12, 91%, stupid dow, oh well, i would like to see the demographic broken down by party affiliation as well as libertarian vs moral conservative breakdown in the republican side, and liberal vs libertarion in the dem side just as a curiosity, might be able to see better where that top 10% sit, hopefully its on our side which i believe it would be, interesting to not that the average is off of telephone poling which like political telephone polling occurs when the uneducated and lazy answer the phone,
July 23rd, 2008 at 4:47 am91%
I too missed the Dow Jones question.
