I believe that it is probably so, and the real truth will show if the people vote GOP in November again. If they do after six years of mistakes and not one success, then yes for sure.

A question using pejoratives DESERVES answers with pejoratives. And, you call US dumb????
The Republicans are not anti-science. the things we object to are not scientific.
For example you lieberals whine about global warming, but NASA year after year measures the temperatures around the planet and reports the temperature hasn't changed as much as 0.1 degree. Things have re-distributed, but average temp is unchanged. The same fast melt-off of glaciers occured in the late 19th Century (for you lieberals that means late 1800's.) Shortly after the new century, the glaciers came back. If you knew any science, you would know this.
To claim global warming when the average temperature of the planet is unchanged is about as unscientific as it gets.
Evolution -- there is not and never has been any evidence whatsoever to prove the theory of evolution. Fundamentalists believe in Creationism without hard evidence as an item of faith. Evolutionsists believe in evolution without hard evidene as an item of faith,then claim anyone who does not accept their bogus science is ignorant.

While I'm not totally conviced that the GOP is doing anything anti-science that could be considered organised enough to be a campaign, I do think that the extreme religious wing of the party deserves a significant share of the blame. However, and this is a major point, a great deal of blame also goes to the generally liberal uncritical thinkers who make up our nations UFO'ologists, crystal gazers, ancient astronaut worshippers, astrologers, herbal remedy suppliers, etc. And of course the general entertainment media (also more likely liberal than conservative). The dumbing down of the US cannot be easily blamed on any one group. Stupidity on this scale requires aid from every sector of society to bring about.

GOP can't separate the difference between science and superstition. A long hard look at Colorado would answer your question. But the simple answer is yes.

over the past 40 years we have poured massive funds into education and increasingly graduated students who can not read write or comprehend on even a 10th grade level.Why don't we concentrate on that before we worry about science.

OK so you can ask a question evoking the pejorative "dumbed down", but we can't retort with a pejorative like "dumb ***"?

I don't think they have ever studied the lifework of Alfred Korzybski.. they seriously need to study Science and Sanity and Manhood of Humanity.
