2. I tend to not believe any of the studies.

There are a lot of very intelligent and greedy conservatives.
And, for a stupid group, the tea party sure seems to be running all of Washington, on the (probably unknowing) behalf of the conservative corporations.
So, supposedly being more intelligent than "them" isn't actually very useful in real life. Just seems to lead to big complicated bargains, where the other side pretty much gets what they wanted in the first place.
Dems seem to be pretty bad bargainers, unless, of course, they are getting what they really wanted all along, under the cover of bipartisanship or whatever.
I don't think I'd bring anyone from Washington along with me if I was buying a car. I'd end up paying $50,000 for an old run down 1982 pickup truck with bad brakes.
