12 out of 15 smart students prefer Democrats!
I think this is priceless. I can't share actual names because this is from an email I received as part of an internal campaign group in my area, but here's the gist:
I received a phone call from the Gifted Resource teacher at <XYZ> High School. They have what they call <the "XYZ> Scholars Program" in which they place highly motivated students with local volunteer organizations or businesses in our area for an internship. Apparently, when asked, 12 out of the 15 students wanted to work with the Democratic Party.
I'd say that absolutely speaks for itself.

2. yeah only because of the "tax cuts"
Greedy idiots, thankfully I can explain the tax issue pretty clearly with Kerry and all, that he doesnt wanna raise their taxes only the taxes on the wealthiest 1% will have their cut and rightfully so repealed. I don't see why anyone would support the republicans just because they get a 100 dollar tax cut that one could use on like a DVD, video game, book, etc, I'll find someway to get that money anyhow, I dont need a tax cut to be satisfied with my status in the nation.

3. There's a story
About a lady approaching Adlai Stevenson during one of his presidential campaigns and saying, "You realize, Sir, that every thinking American is voting for you." "Madam," he replied, "that is not enough!"

That story is too good to be true, but as a proud member of the Intellectual Elites, I just love it!
