The reason I brought up the IQ thing ( NOTE MY "SO WHAT?") was because of your
"Really? With certain exceptions such as William F. Buckley, I've always been painfully aware of an anti-intellection streak in most of the conservatives that I've talked to or heard on radio or television. Shall we compare George W. Bush's I.Q. with the I.Q of John Kerry? Or Al Gore? No? Well, okay then."

seems like we are drifting- YOU made a claim which I have refuted.
