Ultimately, these results explain why it is impossible for elected Republicans to work with Democrats to improve our country. Their base are conspiracy mongers who don't believe Obama was born in the United States, that he is the second coming of Lenin, and that he is racist against white people. They already want to impeach him despite the glaringly obvious lack of high crimes or misdemeanors.
i voted for gw twice. looking back at his record in a calm, detached manner, any reasonable person would have to conclude he was below average. obama has been thrown under the bus.
Why is it the corporations are always the ones taking a bashing when it is the trial lawyers and unions who are worse when it comes to influence peddling. A survey by the Center for Responsive Politics found that while corp. gave more money to politcians they gave in almost equal amounts to reps and dems (51/49). No for-profit co. is going to intentionaly offend a significant segment of their customers and create the jobs in this country. The unions on the other hand gave about 1/2 as much but 92% to dems and 8% to reps. and don't care about offending anyone since they contribute so little to society and certainly don't create anything of value. They tear down by their actions - just look at what they did to the car companies, steel, etc..

One thing I find interesting is that many of these ideas have been touted by Rush, Beck and other conservative voices and now they are upset about the fact that a group of people have bought it hook, line and sinker.
Confucious say, poll not scary at all. Poll results, now that's pucking SCARY!

Impeach, no. And the whole Gay thing, no. I am a conservative Independent (formerly Republican), and have a lot of gay friends. I do, however, think Obama is Solcialist in ivery sense of the word. Puttting money in the government's hands does not create wealth...only welfare.
And as far as KOS goes...Moulitsas Zuniga is a former young republican gone liberal. Almost in the same mold as that lunatic pastor-"The Reverend Wright". They use their military service as a"shock" feature. Like its supposed to give their policies creedence because they somehow see both sides. He aquires almost all of his data from liberals. Even some conservative Dems stay away from this site. Not a real good place to pick up advice or even use as a reference.
Markos Moulitsas, publisher of the influential progressive Web site Daily Kos, commissioned a poll, which he released this month, designed to show how many rank-and-file Republicans hold odd or conspiratorial beliefs -- including 23 percent who purportedly believe that their states should secede from the Union. Moulitsas concluded that Republicans are "divorced from reality" and that the results show why "it is impossible for elected Republicans to work with Democrats to improve our country." His condescension is superlative: Of the respondents who favored secession, he wonders, "Can we cram them all into the Texas Panhandle, create the state of Dumb-[expletive]-istan, and build a wall around them to keep them from coming into America illegally?"
I doubt it would take long to design a survey questionnaire that revealed strange, ill-informed and paranoid beliefs among average Democrats.
Why are liberals so condescending?
Why are liberals so condescending?and quite frankly I tend to agree with nearly all of it. I came across an interesting response article... all great insight and good food for thought. I'm not fond of the words used in either articles: condescending or idiots. we have enough political labels to apply to one another already. once again, I would like to say that none of these labels really apply to anyone. most of us are total mutts.
