AN INCONVENIENT POLL

(For your enjoyment -- Marc)

This poll was commissioned by "The Daily Kos," a liberal web site, and conducted by "Research 2000," a non partisan research organization, from January 20 through January 31, 2010. A total of 2003 self identified Republicans selected by random variation were interviewed nationally by telephone. The margin for error is no more than plus or minus 2% percentage points.

• Do you believe ACORN stole the 2008 election? 21% said '"YES."
• Should contraceptive use be outlawed? 21% said "YES."
• Do you believe your state should secede from the United States? 23% said "YES."
• Do you believe Barack Obama wants the terrorists to win? 24% said "YES."
• Do you believe Barack Obama is a racist who hates White people? 31% said "YES."
• Do you believe Barack Obama was born in the United States, or not? 36% said "NO."
• Should Barack Obama be impeached, or not? 39% said "YES."
• Do you believe Sarah Palin is more qualified to be President than Barack Obama? 53% said "YES."
• Do you think Barack Obama is a socialist? 63% said "YES."
• Do you believe that the only way for an individual to go to heaven is though Jesus Christ, or can one make it to heaven through another faith? 67% said "CHRIST."
• Should public school students be taught that the book of Genesis in the Bible explains how God created the world? 77% said "YES."

(Here are a set of answers I find personally and particularly troubling.)

• Do you believe the birth control pill is abortion? 34% said "YES."
• Do you consider abortion to be murder? 76% said "YES."
• Do you support the death penalty? 91% said "YES."

(Does this justify the execution of doctors? Or pharmacists? Or women?)
