Isn't it awesome how Republicans have become experts in everything they talk about?

Isn't it awesome how Republicans have become experts in everything they talk about?
Taken from actual arguments I've heard:

Experts on democracy - People who don't pay taxes outnumber people who pay taxes! How can any election be fair if we're not all paying taxes!
Hey wait a second, didn't non-taxpayers outnumber taxpayers in 2000 and 2004 too?
Um... No.. Shut up.

Experts on socialism - Nationalizing banks, giving out our money to those who can work, etc. If Obama does it, then it must be socialist!
Hey wait a second, didn't Bush have the government buy stock in banks and give out money in the form of corporate welfare?
Um... Socialist!

Experts on torture - Waterboarding is not torture!
Really, I've got nothing else. That's the only argument they've got.

In what ways have you encountered the stunning intellect of some of the best and brightest the conservative movement/Republican Party has to offer?

1. It has always seemd to me that the less one knows about a given subject, the more sure his opinion
will be. Dumb people are dumb.

2. If waterboarding is not torture.....
then why do it? As a simultaneous sinus cleanse and shampooing?
