Reality and self identification are different. They aren't all idiots, and many conservative points aren't based on and don't really require a logical or even handed worldview to be held (you can be an intellectual and be an absolute free market conservative that is anti gay and anti abortion).

I'll be honest. I don't really know who in the republican party would qualify as an
intellectual. However, they've won 4 presidential campaigns in the years I've been
alive and part of that success has been anti-intellectualism. Reagan and Bush Jr.
seem to have gotten by on a projection of strength and regular joe'ism. My over
simplification probably reveals my ignorance, but that's my impression of the big
two republican presidents.

I mean, she'd resign a week in any way, right?

When one of them wants to lord it over the uvvers, 'e says "I'm very speshul so'z you gotta worship me", or "I know summink wot you lot don't know, so yer better lissen good".

Four years in city council: Don't care.
Sixyears as a city mayor: A little better, it would be a good amount of experience to run for governor or senator on.
Two and a half years as a state governor: I didn't know we elected those every two and a half years.

I would vote for a steaming pile of dog crap before I would vote for Obama.
Of course in the Primary I would hope Palin does not get the nod.
I also agree Cali can leave the union when ever they want to.

Now look at what schools they all went too and what families they belong too. No conservative would self identify and an intellectual because their voting base is composed of blithering loud idiots who would prefer to have someone they can drink with in office over someone who could teach them something. These people by in large (well, except bush jr) are not idiots. I also agree Cali can leave the union when ever they want to.
It's amusing how people are willing to throw out the worlds seventh largest economy because of budget issues and how much they hate "hollywood types".

Not keeping it real here. The last GOP administration had plenty of intellectuals. That's what the neocons were, remember?
You can't really be claiming there's not a long history of conservative intellectualism.

And you're definitely not keeping it real.

The assumption that "if you're not a member of the Immaculate Disciples of Enlightenment therough Blunt Head Trauma, then you're automatically part of the Divine Order of Ross Perot's Accent Worshippers" is just kinda, well, wrong.

Assuming it's Palin vs. The Rock Obama...er, Barack Obama, I would vote for four more years! I can't stand Palin. Now, if it was a choice of Palin or P. Hilton (Perez or Paris), I would vote for None of the Above, although writing in Ralph Nader or Darth Vader would be tempting.

A.Was not defending intelligence, pointing out that not all democrats are intilligent.
B. Most high schoolers are not old enough to vote, but i did not say high schoolers, I said high school educated. Meaning the most education they have is a high school diploma, or never graduated high school.

For someone so "Educated" you figure you could have understood what I said.
Your sentence read "high school and lower educated", that can read both as highschool educated and lower, or highschool (as in attending highschool) and lower educated (GEDs, diplomas, etc). Situations like this are where punctuation (and the citation of relevant statistics) is your friend. It sounded like you were on the defensive since no one had said that all democrats were intelligent. I would also note that neither parties primary voting populace is constructed largely of persons with degrees.
