Andy, do you have any proof that the Democrats rely upon voter fraud? Any proof that voter fraud is a widespread problem? I don't think you will find any. Voter ID regulation is largely a solution in search of a problem - there's never been a showing that voter fraud is actually a problem.

Rather, the problem with voter ID legislation is that, coupled with voter suppression techniques, it deters the poor, the elderly, or the recent and legal immigrants from voting (because they think they can't/aren't allowed to). In the end, isn't this "Political IQ" test just another one of your blog posts, making up in vitriol what it lacks in substance?-[[User:Ave|Ave]] 12:01, 11 May 2008 (EDT)

: I've never heard someone deny that voter fraud exists, and it plainly helps [[Democrats]] more than [[Republicans]]. I can add cites and welcome you to do so also.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 12:27, 11 May 2008 (EDT)
::Please do add cites; there's legitimate controversy, I can see, over the first question (whether voter fraud exists), but you're the first one I've heard claim that one party benefits and encourages it. Since you're the one asserting the point, I guess it's your burden to carry, but I'll research too.
::A side note: do you deny the incidental effects on voter suppression? That it chills some voters? The systemic problem is more what I'm worried about, rather than the individual voter.-[[User:Ave|Ave]] 12:50, 11 May 2008 (EDT)

{{essay}}

'''Political IQ''' is one's understanding of and ability to grasp how political factors influence the media, government, science, education, and other fields.

The term '''political IQ''' is sometimes misused by the media to mean knowledge about current events, which is neither an IQ nor always reflective of political factors.

== Example ==

1. What is the political motivation for opposing a requirement that voters show photo ID?

 (a) the requirement adds expense
 (b) the requirement increases lines at voting booths
 (c) the requirement reduces voter fraud that tends to help [[Democratic]] candidates
 (d) the requirement reduces voting by older [[Republicans]]
 (e) the requirement is unconstitutional

Answer: see [[Political IQ Answers]].

Could there be a section for the moral of the parable? I don't understand it.--[[User:TrTran|TrTran]] 23:09, 8 May 2008 (EDT)

Uhhhhh this doesnt really make any sense. How is this a conservative-centric story? Hmmmmmm, did the smoker have breast cancer?

Andrew, does this relate to Jeanne Assam? [[Image:User Fox.png|10px]] [[User:Fox|Fox]] ([[User talk:Fox|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Fox|contribs]]) 09:55, 10 May 2008 (EDT)
:I only ask because, with a linked news ref, it does make a great story, especially Assam's quote "“I give credit to G-d. G-d was with me." [[Image:User Fox.png|10px]] [[User:Fox|Fox]] ([[User talk:Fox|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Fox|contribs]]) 09:57, 10 May 2008 (EDT)

I suppose the conservative insight of this story is never give money to those in need. (Indeed judging from the republicans, this does seem to be the case.) BTW, great reference "This actually happened", I'm tempted to add a fact citation to it.

How are any of these "Conservative" parables? (well the last one...)
:I think the links with the parable I added justify it very well; paleos (for I am one) are very concerned with the small, human, familiar and social dimensions and less with the chiselled-in-stone politics that some politicians and all Liberals insist we adhere to. You're a nice Jewish young man, you can see the small-c conservatism I tried to put across, surely?

Doesn't this prove that prayer doesn't work? That the Protestant ship could've been a crew of atheists who also immediately jumped into action, and would've saved themselves, too?
