Wondering what the Republican base looks like…
A new Daily Kos/Research 2000 poll, conducted among 2,000 self-identified Republican respondents nationwide, gives an interesting peek into the psyche of the minority party’s base.
• 39% of Republicans want President Obama to be impeached.
• 63% think Obama is a socialist.
• Only 42% believe Obama was born in the United States.
• 21% think ACORN stole the 2008 election — that is, that Obama didn’t actually win it, and isn’t legitimately the president, with 55% saying they are “not sure.”
• 53% think Sarah Palin is more qualified than Obama to be president.
• 23% want to secede from the United States.
• 73% think gay people should not be allowed to teach in public schools.
• 31% want contraception to be outlawed.
Simply amazing, and far be it for me to give Democrats advice, but… they might want to start pushing these points next time they’re on Meet The Press. It is time to make Republicans own their crazy.
LOL, 63% think Obama is a socialist? Wanna bet 62% of them can’t define the word. And while I mock, it behooves (now there’s a word you don’t see every day) us to draw attention to this lunacy. They may be crazy, but they’re organized.
