1. Passing a test is apparently being able to say DUH! n/t

[Ed Suspicious]

2. I doubt it, but I suspect there is something very off-putting to the average rural Texan

about people who score in the triple digits.

3. No doubt they feel it's against nature and god's will. n/t

they are to have one control our country?

6. Do any of you know of another state

That pledges Allegiance to their State flag after doing the pledge to the American flag?

8. No

The dumber you are, the further you will go in Texas GOP politics

[COLGATE4]

9. Yep. You must score under 80 to qualify. nt

[KamaAina]

10. Yes. The same one used by the New London, CT police department.

You flunk if you score too high. Srsly. And the Supremes are cool with that.

[Jim Beard]

11. The voters too.

You should live here. Its the rural districts that is the "guns and god" group. The "burbs" are the yuppie no tax crowd.

12. Not every Texas politician is stupid

For example Ann Richards and Barbara Jordan. While she wasn't a politician Molly Ivins was also raised in Texas.

Yes, there are a lot of idiots in Texas, but the state has produced some very eloquent voices as well.

[Spirochete]

13. Yes

Scoring in the multi-digit range, is a strike against them...
