41. Unfortunately, too many

are. But no, not all. Please understand ... in the Arkansas legislature, not only are there too many repubs, but also the repubs changed rules on committee make-up --different from U.S. senate rule changes but same bigger goal. So, they manipulated power structure in their favor even more so than their numbers did -- and their numbers were bad enough. It is awful. But I will not let you say they are all morons.
Here are examples why:

Fighting against wealthy supporters trying to close public schools in predominately AA areas. Has always fought for women, children, minorities, have-nots:

Represents district with more economic distress than others -- hit harder by recession than rest of nation on average. District happens to be 60 to 70% AA. Fighting for fairness in education and economic development opportunities among other things.

Here's another who fights for the have-nots of society:

There are more examples. But look at these people, read about them, and then come back and call them morons.
