Dude:
You might be surprised to find out what the cumulative/average IQ of our congress-critters really is.

My personal opinion? Certain dhimmicrats unneccessarily drag down the average.
Many holding office (both R & D) would not test above 90; seriously.
Would anyone consider Nancy Pelosi’s IQ to be any-portion above 90? Really?
Full disclosure, my IQ conforms with the societal norm of >100 (120 in 1981)

Yep, Sheila Jackson Lee could move the curve by a couple of standard deviations, all by herself. :-)

I've gotten more involved in local politics, out of sheer necessity. I had always made the assumption that local pols might have marginally better motivations, if only because they need to live in the bed that they make.

Nope. Dumb. Dumb as a box of rocks, and grasping (greedy, too, but "grasping" is more apt, I think). The local town council meeting is a snake pit, and I feel like I need a shower after every time I visit it.
