Two-thirds of Republicans assume anyone that is not a Christian is going to hell. It certainly makes it easier for them to dehumanize their enemies, either real or perceived.

John 14:6

Jesus told him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me."


I'm agnostic, but seems like their belief is based on Jesus's own words.

Now I don't know whether to laugh or cry at the following statistics, they are startling:
• 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.
• 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.

Poll: Republicans Think Obama Is A Socialist, And Palin More Qualified To Be President | TPMDC
1)The Republicans want all Democrats to be impeached.
2)I heard Obama was Loyalist {or was it a Federalist?:confused:}
3)Don't be silly. Obama was hatched. {if this rumor takes off I will deny it}
4)53% of the people are figuring Sarah Palin as President means her sitting on a chair, crossing her legs and...well, you can use your imagination.
5)How do Republicans secede? Is there a state where they live?
6)I'm surprised the number is that low.
7)Wouldn't that lead to more questionable births of future candidates?

Hey!!! I resemble that remark. :cool:

when was the last time a hippie or a bum bombed anyone?

Bums was the key word. Don't think I haven't resembled the other traits. But a gay pot smoking left wing who doesn't see a point in working for a living and pines for greater government redistribution is the bogeyman for many conservatives just like a racist fundamentalist is to liberals was my only point.

Ha ha ha! There is no one in the world that can be worse the Bush (Please don't let it be one) and most republicans (Cause some of them were smart enough to see pass their political believe) blindly believe he was an excellent president. Hmmm, this is gonna become an ugly thread!


Please name one person that said that Bush was an excellent president. On this website or anywhere.

Well about 50 percent of American voters voted for him. TWICE. I mean it was pretty clear in 2000 that he was a duhtz. Even more so in 2004. Yet 50% of the electorate voted for him. One would assume that a huge majority of Republicans thought he was at least OK, and out of those millions SOME of them had to think he did an excellent job.

Here. I found a link to a whole group dedicated to the fact that "George Bush Is an Excellent President"

And this is precisely the point of remarking about this extraordinary poll.

NOW, you can't find a Republican who will admit to thinking Bush was a good President. But well into 2008, Bush defenders were loud, prominent and many-numbered. And in 2004, they were viciously vocal in their support of Bush. Of course, it's a bit late now, to say you disfavor Bush. The damage (literally and figuratively) is done. So what was all that "support" about a few years back? And how could so many fervently-held opinions have changed so quickly?

I imagine the viewpoints regarding the issues addressed by this poll will run a similar course. In five (ten?) years, it will be difficult to find anyone who will admit to having taken these positions. But now it's a different tune being played. Is it really that people's minds change about the issues, or is it that a certain type of person will say or do anything to get "their guy (or gal)" elected, only "recanting" when the political winds favor it? Just wait until 2012 when they smell a chance to oust Obama. There'll be people willing to testify on the record that they saw Obama bleed green space goo. After all, he was a Muslim terrorist two years ago, an anti-American socialist last year, and this year, well, I just can't wait to see what the strategists come up with.

Am I cynical? You bet. History is instructive.

I have already criticized Obama in several situations. As for me and many others I know, he is not the "perfect president" The sad story is that most republicans still consider Bush a ""Hero" HOW SAD AND BLIND IS THAT?

You've got a nice cock by the way! ;)

And most Democrats refuse to listen to criticism of Obama, believing it to be based purely in bitterness of defeat and partisan vitriol. And when they criticized Bush it was completely disinterested commentary :rolleyes:

What is your point here? I don't think it's gonna devolve any more really. Republicans give conservatives a bad name. Much as hippies and pot smoking bums give progressives a bad name.

Mmmm, what about ALL OF MY CO-WORKERS??? YEs, All of them! As sad as it is, They all believe he was a hero and they even cried when Obama was elected president! So, I have a reason to believe, that more than just about 17 co-workers believe that!

And just about a week ago, there was a very heated thread when He showed his face to "help" Haiti with Presidents Obama and Clinton. When he failed to help with the Katrina disaster.

Do your own damn research. We're tired of carrying your ass.

My thought exactly.
There you go thinking again. Maybe we'd all be better off if we just stopped thinking. Seems to work for them.

I imagine the viewpoints regarding the issues addressed by this poll will run a similar course. In five (ten?) years, it will be difficult to find anyone who will admit to having taken these positions.
One can only hope. Provided we last that long.

This does not bode well. This does not bode well at all.

.......the most bizarre item, that only 1 in 5 will say Obama won the election:

• 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." This number is actually significantly lower than it was in a similar question from Public Policy Polling (D) back in November, which said that 52% of Republicans thought ACORN stole it. So does this mean Obama is gaining ground among Republicans? As it is, only just over 20% of Republicans will say that Obama actually won the election.

Acorn? Really?? How crazy is that?

I wish they could break it out by state. I think that would be very telling. Most people before the tape had no clue who/what Acorn is. But they hate hate hate them. They are recruiting the wrong people :rolleyes:

And its the voval extreme right wing of the GOP that forces the issue and calls itself the base of the Republican party which could lose the next presidential election for the GOP.

The statistics of the poll are not so surprising to me as it is that in this day even a significant number of people can be so easily deluded.

It’s a given that you're already going to have a certain percentage fueled on bigotry, hate, and other more base emotions. These sorts will readily buy into any lie, no matter how absurd, because it validates within them emotions and feelings that otherwise would have to be characterized purely by the source from which they spring.

But it's the other, more rational, presumably more intelligent ones among the group who, in spite of the advances in global communication, technology, and access to information, still buy into propaganda, faulty logic, distortions of fact, mischaracterizations, and pure unmitigated bullshit.

On the contrary, the relative ease of access in today's global multimedia only seems to have facilitated the means by which a lie can be so easily told, the truth so easily distorted.

The only hope, for us as a nation, will be that the numbers of these individuals with so narrow a concept of life will be in the minority. The failing of the Republican Party, if they do fail, will be in that they continue to let the radical right dictate the party platform.

Our failing will be in allowing the truth become the lie...the lie, the truth.

Such is the nature of propaganda... like turning one’s back to a wolf.
