S & P Downgrades Iowa’s IQ

Straw Poll ‘Alarms’ Ratings Agency

AMES, IOWA – Calling the results of today’s Iowa straw poll “alarming,” Standard and Poor’s took the unprecedented action of downgrading Iowa’s IQ.

While the effects of such an extraordinary measure are hard to predict, experts say the IQ downgrade could result in Iowans having difficulty completing sentences or operating a television remote.

“This downgrade would be very upsetting to Republicans in Iowa,” said an S & P spokesman. “Fortunately, there’s no way they’ll understand it.”

The winner in the straw poll, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn), gave a rousing victory speech that was simulcast in English across the state.

But there may be tough sledding ahead for Rep. Bachmann, as a new poll shows her losing support to Texas Governor Rick Perry among voters who describe themselves as morons.

Gov. Perry kicked off his presidential campaign today in South Carolina, unveiling a new stump speech in which he promised to repeal the twentieth century.

The embarrassing thing is that President Downgrade has so messed things up that he could LOSE to one of them. If you didn't know that, you would be happy with the results of the straw poll.

You obviously haven't read and/or understood the reasons S&P had for the downgrade either. Much like Michele. You keep some odd intellectual company.

Wake up Gary. There is an astronomical difference in GOP principles (small gov't, low taxes = creating jobs) and REALITY.

Find me some data that shows 10 years of Bush policies shrinking gov't, shrinking deficits, and creating jobs.

GOP and job creation/surpluses is an oxymoron.

Did someone mistakenly tell you I am a Republican? You expect me to defend them? Who needs to wake up?

One of these idiots is going to beat Obama in the next election and it will NOT be Geroge Bush's fault, nor will it be my fault. It is just a fact because Obama is entirely incompetent and can be defeated by a talking frog and most Americans are too stupid to vote for anyone unless they are either Republican or Democrat.

And you must be on drugs if you think I would ever spend a moment of my life to find data for you. Please contain your response to reality. I will not defend positions assigned to me by others.

I do not care. It is enough to understand that Obama, with a slam dunk majority of both houses of congress could accomplish nothing and so completely screwed up that it is no longer possible for him to be re-elected. THAT was my comment. I bet he could break an anvil.

More pontificating without a shred of evidence to back it up.

I'm pretty sure you could blow up an onion sack.

gotta agree. 1-bachmann, 2-paul.

the good thing is this doesn't decide the nomination. i do think obama is in deep water though. i'm looking at a perry/romney or a romney/perry ticket in the presidential election. obama is facing the same thing he took advantage of when he was elected....people looking to punish whoever is in office now.

eta: feel free to sub pawlenty in for either name on the ticket too.

Try 25 years. Republican or Democrat in the White House.

Trickle down economics does not work.

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

THAT was my comment.

Your comment suggested that you felt anything Obama did caused the downgrade. That is simply not supported by any fact.

All O and the Democrats have to do is ride it to the White House and a congressional majority on the backs of anger at the GOP alignment with the wing nut Tea Party.

Then we have a second term and we'll get some stuff done whether the RWN's like it or not.

i think you're wrong. the dems need to contact mayflower...moving day is rapidly arroaching.

Could be.

But if it's Bachmann in the White House, the construction crews will be right behind the moving truck.

So they can build a rubber room.

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

i do think obama is in deep water though.

He is. And unless he drops this no confrontation attitude, he'll surely lose. He needs to get out and fight for his agenda. The people are largely on his side on the various issues. He just needs to figure out a way - or grow the balls - to carry his message which he has been very ineffective of doing.
