Seriously, the Republican Party wasn’t always this whacked out, crazy and utterly misinformed, were they? Were they?!
The Daily Kos has enlisted the “non-partisan independent pollster Research 2000” to survey “over 2,000 self-identified Republicans.” The results of which, I’ll have to agree with Kos here, are “nothing short of startling.”
Writes Kos: “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.”
Just one case in point likely to be of interest to readers of The BRAD BLOG (and there are many others, far more extreme), one in five (21%) of self-identified Republicans believe ACORN stole the 2008 election. Another 55% are “not sure” if they did or not. Still waiting for any one of them to present even a shred of evidence to suggest that even a single vote was cast fraudulently via ACORN in some way, of course. For the record, Obama reportedly won by about 10 million of them nationally. You think we’d have some kind of evidence by now from the “Fox ‘News’ Voter Fraud Unit.”
Also, according to the poll, a majority of Republicans, 53%, believe “Sarah Palin is more qualified to be President than Barack Obama.” Sigh…
How many elected Democrats will have to lose their jobs in 2010 and 2012 before they figure out who/what they’re dealing with in this once-Grand, now just utterly insane (actually, just successfully and expensively disinformed) Old Party?
Hoo boy! And Barry wants to reach out across the aisle to these pirhanas? A stick of dynamite in the water makes more sense.
I have been saying this since 2004.
Only complete insanity explains the last decade.
Plus Bushes approval rating rarely dropped below 30%, that proves at least 30% of the Rethuglican party is stark raving insane and delusional.
Well, partially, Nynyabiz. The corporate Democrats are merely corrupt. The evangelical, end-timing Christian right, led by the likes of Sarah Palin, are stark raving mad.
I read that yesterday and it’s so right on the money IMO…It’s what we see on boards and postings across the web.
This was a shocker today kinda
Do you support the death penalty?
Yes 91
No 4
Not Sure 5
Do you consider abortion to be murder?
Yes 76
No 8
Not Sure 16
This is the most shocking one, I’ve been saying this forever: they don’t just want abortion outlawed, they want contraception outlawed:
Should contraceptive use be outlawed?
Yes 31
No 56
Not Sure 13
THINK ABOUT THAT: 31% want CONTRACEPTION outlawed! They want Big Govt to have control over YOUR sex life, not YOU!
It’s over for the right-wing….
Poll: Birther ranks swell within GOP

They continue to steal elections and won’t stop until they are forced to hand-count the ballots.
Tune in to this conversation:

Remember that the Final National Exit Poll is ALWAYS FORCED TO MATCH THE RECORDED VOTE.
BUT JUST AS IN 2004 AND 2006, THE NEP INDICATED THERE WERE MORE RETURNING BUSH VOTERS FROM THE PRIOR ELECTION THAN WERE ALIVE.
THE BUSH PHANTOMS EMERGE IN EVERY ELECTION.
Obama won by over 20 million votes. Check out THE TRUE MATH – NOT THE ROVE MATH.
The 2008 National Exit Poll (NEP) implies that 60.4m (46% of 131.37) were returning Bush 2004 voters.
Bush had 62.0m RECORDED votes in 2004. About 59m were still alive in 2008. Assuming 95% turned out in 2008, about 56m voted. The NEP is off by 4.0m Bush voters.
The NEP also indicates that 48.6m (37%) were Kerry voters? Are we to believe that returning Bush voters outnumbered Kerry voters by almost 12 million?
Bush only won by 3 million RECORDED votes in 2004.
And that assumes that 2004 was fraud-free.
What if Kerry actually won by the 52-47% unadjusted state exit poll margin (6 million votes). Then we would expect 6 million MORE returning Kerry voters in 2008 than Bush voters.
IN OTHER WORDS THE NEP OVERSTATES THE RETURNING BUSH VOTER MARGIN BY 12+6 = 18 MILLION!
But Kerry actually did better than 52-47%. The 2004 True Vote Model indicates that he won by 10 MILLION VOTES with at least a 53% share.
BUT THERE IS MORE.
The 2008 NEP indicates there were 5.25m (4%) returning third- party voters from 2004. Also impossible. There were only 1.22m third-party voters in 2004. The NEP is off by 4.0m. Were they NEW voters or returning Kerry voters?
Check out THE TRUE MATH – NOT THE ROVE MATH.
TIA: did you ever contact anyone from the DNC about this? I’d be interested to see what they say, or even if they would meet with you.
Dan,
I have written a book which will be out in a few months. It is called “Proving Election Fraud: Phantom Voters, Uncounted Votes and the National Exit Poll”.
Maybe someone at the DNC will read it.
