Republicans are idiots...!

[sampsonblk]

1. Yes, they are idiots.

I know, I know. A few appeasers won't like what I have to say. But some of these GOP voters are just plain stupid. And rather than try to appeal to them, they need to be re-educated.

[saltpoint]

2. You're too kind. I favor a giant crocodile feed down in the far SE corner of

the Everglades. Yum-yum time for the big lizards.

[skids]

5. Now, now...

...remember, being a freeper is not a choice, they are born with it.

[saltpoint]

6. LOL!

Damn! Now I have to tell all those hungry crocodiles that they got their hopes up for nothin'.

[mohc]

16. Not that it matters

but I think you mean alligator. And while we're at it, I think somewhere in the center of the Everglades would be better, that's where people wanting to hide bodies go....

[saltpoint]

20. I'm quite flexible between alligators and crocodiles, but I had the

Crocodylus acutus species in mind:

because I'm kind of a fan.

And those critters get hungry!

[TwilightGardener]

3. Well, I'm sure 110% of them think he pulled firefighters alive out of the

rubble at ground zero, too. Oh well. Can't fix stupid.

[illinoisprogressive]

4. Elmer, do you ever print stories or do you just post polls dreaming of Penn

[draft_mario_cuomo]

7. Elmer does a great job of keeping us informed on such issues

:applause:

[SaveElmer]

19. I post stories quite often....do you ever post anything outside a subject line?

Generally they sink like a stone from the front page because they aren't sufficiently critical of Hillary...

[draft_mario_cuomo]

8. Ghoul will continue to fade as primary voters learn more about him

The real race will likely be between FT and Romney, assuming Thompson survives the revelation that he aided Libyan terrorists in the 80's. Take FT away and it may become a Romney and McCain race.

[sampsonblk]

9. I will say again that Romney is unelectable as a GOPer

Mormonism. Don't discount the importance of the fundies in the GOP. To them, Mormonism is a denomination of satanism.

[dugggy]

10. And you think Americans post-911 are ready for a candidate

with muslim father and Hussein for middle name?

Which is why I favor either Edwards or HRC.

[sampsonblk]

12. I dunno. Maybe, maybe not

There are a lot of people who love the guy, and he has gained wide acceptance as a legit candidate. So maybe that hurdle is in the rear view mirror. Same with Hillary being a woman. A year ago, folks were asking whether the country was ready for a woman or not. But now it rarely even comes up anymore.

[dugggy]

21. That hurdle will rear its ugly head AFTER he is nominated

If you don't think the republiks won't exploit it
in GE, I want some of that stuff you are smoking.

[Odin2005]

18. Most peope who are not 26%-ers really don't care about such things anymore.

Hell, I know plenty of Republicans that like Obama. I don't think his race and ancestry is an issue.

[dugggy]

22. Race is always an issue in USA circa 2008

but I agree racism is on the wane but far far from
being extinct.

[Odin2005]

23. True, but the people that wouldn't vote for him because of his race...

...aren't likely to vote Democratic anytime soon, anyway.

[dugggy]

24. More will vote against him because of his muslim roots than race

just my humble opinion. And that group includes
a lot of good democrats.

[ProudDad]

11. Hell, that's nothing

33% of Hillbots here on DU believe she can walk on water :evilgrin:

[AnotherGreenWorld]

13. I've been saying this for a while now.

Now a poll confirms it. I suspect months ago, when there was more hype about Rudy, that that percentage was over 50%.

Imagine if Rudy does get the nomination. It would likely be more effective for 527s to attack Rudy from the right, pointing out that he's pro-choice, pro-gay rights, etc. than if they made other legitimate claims about his record. If 30% of his supporters knew such facts, most would probably not support him. That itself could win an election.

I also really don't think most Romney supporters know that he's a Mormon. My experience has been that most don't, and upon learning that he is one, their opinion quickly changes.

[Netbeavis]

14. probably same 31% who still think Iraq bombed us on 9-11 n/t

[Hosnon]

15. That bodes well for all of the other Republican candidates, especially Thompson.

And if Guiliani gets the nomination, many Republicans are in for a surprise!

[mohc]

17. Is this the same....

31% that still supports Bush....and thinks Saddam was involved in 9/11...and that Larry Craig is not gay....

Those are some cross-tabs I would love to see.

[SOS]

25. Giuliani is toast

He's dropped 11 points in four weeks.
Thompson will steal Rudy's Naploeonic fantasies right from under his nose.

[fujiyama]

26. LOL

In all honesty I'm having more fun watching the republican primaries, because it's such a train wreck. Their candidates are all SO GOD AWFUL.

And their voters are so Goddamn stupid. But

[democratsin08]

27. idiots??

reps are ignorant fools if they think guliani is pro-life. reps are idiots on parade.

[Dark]

28. So what do the other 69 Guiliani supporters think? n/t
