No smart people allowed!

Sure, you've already seen this a couple of times - Rick Santorum's admission that smart people will never vote Republican - but I know you wanted to see Cenk Uygur's take on it, didn't you?

I know I did.

And remember how the Republican Party wanted to eliminate critical thinking in Texas schools? Kids were supposed to come out of school believing exactly what they did when they entered it.

I guess, for Republicans, varsity football is the only reason schools exist at all, since children aren't supposed to actually learn anything there. Of course, I guess that explains why Texans vote Republican, doesn't it? It's a vicious circle. Ignorance breeds ignorance.
