What is 2/3 of 36 Percent?

Thirty-Six percent of the 1,000 people surveyed believe that the troop surge is working in Iraq. Of those, 2/3 are Republicans. All 36% were people I'd like to punch in the face for being too stupid to live. Meanwhile, forty-seven percent of those surveyed in Iraq, want America to get the fuck out of their country. Seventy percent believe things are worse since the U.S. sent in more forces.

They have their 30% morons and we've got our 36% morons that are fooling themselves about the facts of this war. I think this data gives me a new hypothesis! Between 30 and 36% of the population are incapable of understanding complex situations and shouldn't be allowed to operate vehicles or vote.

If the legislature is supposed to be a representation of its citizens then 30-36% of legislators are morons too?

Have you been paying attention?

Zander, I'd say it's WAY more than 30-36%. After all, people elected Dan Patrick.

PanzerDSS at September 11, 2007 3:27 PM

True. They also elected Mike Jackson, Craig Estes, and Harold Dutton.

What is your solution? Be specific! Be sure to include all the unintended consequences should your solution be successful. Also, should it be unsuccessful.

I don't have a solution, so I guess, in your opinion; I should neither vote nor drive.

And Borris Miles.

Hey Doc, I don't know that I have a solution but I do feel strongly that the troop surge has not seen results. As a results-driven businessman I don't understand the continuing bad decision after bad decision without results.
