Triangulation: Dumb Republicans

If:

- Seventy percent of registered Republicans polled are against any increase in the debt ceiling (Gallup*)

And:

- Twenty-three percent of registered Republicans polled still believe that Obama was definitely or probably born in another country.

Through triangulation, I deduce

- That between 23 - 93 percent of Republicans are stupid.**

I'll assume that it isn't 93 percent -- that all R's that oppose raising the debt ceiling believe that Obama was born in the U.S. Even at the low end, that's a lot of idiots.


* probability that morons at Gallup can create such a stupidly simple and meaningless poll question: 100

** and with similar logic, between 14 - 46 percent of Independents are dumb.
