68% of Republicans, 49% of Democrats think it's possible for people to be possessed by demons

[get the red out]

1. There may be a reason for that

Could it be that 68% of Republicans ARE possessed by demons?

[RichGirl]

11. That's exactly what I was thinking....

They know from experience!

[libinnyandia]

17. Me too!

[ProudProgressiveNow]

23. LOL...

[Jackpine Radical]

2. Makes sense--many Republicans have personal experience of this.

[arthritisR_US]

3. Maybe that explains Robme's multiple versions.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

4. Well?

Do you deny that?

[Kurovski]

10. My cerebral cortex is melting.

[hifiguy]

15. I still say that's a fking Romulan. nt

[flamingdem]

25. +1 ahhhhh

[liberal N proud]

5. 68% of Republicans support demons (Romney)

[SunSeeker]

16. DUzy!

[Arugula Latte]

6. And that statistic tells the story about why this country is in so much trouble.

Americans reject rational thought and embrace belief in god/s, angels, demons, Jesus, and other superstitions because they provide easy explanations for complex subjects.

[Ikonoklast]

20. And they can then blame imaginary beings for their own failings.

I beat my wife and kids, cheat on my taxes, drink too much, treat my employees like dirt, because Teh Debbil makes me do it....not because I'm a miserable rat bastard through and through, and always have been.

[Arugula Latte]

24. Yep. It's the easy way out. Pass the buck.

[upi402]

7. 49% support a lunatic like Romney

I bet that stat is inside America only...

[tarheelsunc]

8. Should read "68% of Republicans are possessed by Mitt Romney"

[Kurovski]

9. The devil made 'em do it.

So much for being responsible for ones actions. And so much for reality.

It's not a wonder that people believe all the bullshit politicians tell them. We're well trained by religion to accept magic as a strong possibility.

unless they were thinking of "demons" as an abstraction.

[AlinPA]

12. I'd like to see one of those real demons. I have seen some demon characters on Mucinex ads.

[Tutonic]

13. Well I'll be one of the 49%.

[hifiguy]

14. American humans are devolving at a terrifying rate.

And the rate of devolution seems to be increasing every day.

How can anyone actually be this dumb?

[Sheepshank]

18. That's an awful lot of Dems.

They must be thinking it's metaphorical question.

Don't we all have demons?

[Kurovski]

19. Personally...

I'm angelic right down to my cloven hooves.

[Bucky]

21. Snark if you want. Until I saw Romney flipflop, I was skeptical too.

[sakabatou]

22. And most Jews in the US think it's BS*.

My own guess, no data to back it up.
