The poll asked this question: "Do you think that Barack Obama legitimately won the Presidential election last year, or do you think that ACORN stole it for him?"

Among Republicans, however, only 27% say Obama actually won the race, with 52% -- an outright majority -- saying that ACORN stole it, and 21% are undecided

A new poll conducted by Dartmouth government professor Benjamin Valentino found that 63 percent of Republican respondents still believe that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction when the United States invaded in 2003

64 percent of Republican respondents said that they believe President Obama was born in another country, which would qualify them as "birthers."

Republicans are morons. This is news?

 

[cubby1223]

You know what the real truth is?

Continuously focusing one's life on the things that pisses one off, never changes the world, only makes one a miserable person

Have fun with that!

The fact that this is yet another "Republicans suck" liberal circle jerk troll thread does not in any way take away from the fact that the Republican base is largely composed of the worst of America.

This goes to give ample evidence that most Liberals/Democrats do drugs.

 

[Jhhnn]

None of our resident wingnuts believe any of that, at least to hear them tell it. Which brings up the question of why they identify so strongly with those who do, and why they're so eager to immediately resort to duh-version & vindictive denial.

So, uhh, what do y'all think about what your fellow "conservatives" believe, anyway? Are you proud to claim them as your own?

 

[michal1980]

oh look another conversvative bashing thread.

I geuss when your out of ideas you just dust off the old play book

No worse than the democrat base.

No worse than the democrat base.

You have similar polls showing Democrats being this moronic and ignorant? Love to see them. Seriously.

Wish granted: More than half Democrats think Bush knew about 9/11 in advance

No, it's not. That was lame.

That's a pretty equivalent poll. Thanks.

 

[Jhhnn]

Gawd. False equivalency reigns on the Right, as usual, starting with Ben Smith. He misrepresented the survey results right out of the box-

"How likely is it that people in the federal government either assisted in the 9/11 attacks or took no action to stop the attacks because they wanted the United States to go to war in the Middle East?" the poll asked.

A full 22.6% of Democrats said it was "very likely." Another 28.2% called it "somewhat likely."

That is: More than half of Democrats, according to a neutral survey, said they believed Bush was complicit in the 9/11 terror attacks.

Which isn't what they said at all, and Smith knows it. So do you.

"People in the federal govt" is not the same as "Bush".

"Somewhat likely" merely acknowledges that they could entertain the possibility, given sufficient evidence. It's not the same as "I Believe!", at all, no matter how desperately you or Smith want to convince people that it is.

I'm a bit surprised at the 22% figure, believe that anybody who really thinks that's true to be terribly misguided.

So, uhh, what do you think about the 53% of polled Repubs who claimed that the Sarah! was more qualified to be Prez than Obama?

 

[trenchfoot]

Ask an honest question and get an honest diversion. Who knew? lol

 

[umbrella39]

Wish granted: More than half Democrats think Bush knew about 9/11 in advance

Nice try... as lame as Smith who distorted the poll? Perhaps there should be a poll to answer that...

404 not really seeing any equivalencies posted yet that aren't of the false variety.

 

[OneOfTheseDays]

Glenn1 getting owned :lmao

 

[Pr0d1gy]

Sarah Palin, seriously?

 

[GarfieldtheCat]

Hey, numb-nut, wanna ask the Kurds and Iran if Saddam had WMD's ??

"had" doesn't equal "have".

So that makes no sense....Bush and company stated he had them in 2002, when all the facts prove he did not.

So you are just trying to deflect and ignore the truth....we have had enough ignorant trolls spouting off these lies, and guess what, the trolls were all proved wrong. So are you.

Actually, the biggest problem with that poll is lumping together 2 distinct positions: one, that the Bush admin actively assisted or pulled the attack off itself, and another, that someone in the government may have conveniently ignored or downplayed evidence that such an attack was pending. The former is totally loony (IMO), while the latter is probably just "wrong" in the garden variety sense. After all, we know the Israelis warned us about a pending attack and that we also had some other evidence, albeit not entirely conclusive. The issue is whether what the government did with the information was reasonable, incompetent, or else willfully reckless. No poll should lump the 2 positions together in the same question, such that we can't parse out what percentage is in each category.
