So what effect has one year of Republican lies and smear combined with conservative media madness done to intelligent debate and coherent thought?
Daily Kos/Research 2000 Poll of self-identified Republicans:
Do you think Barack Obama is a socialist?
Yes 63
No 21
Not Sure 16
Do you believe Barack Obama was born in the United States, or not?
Yes 42
No 36
Not Sure 22
Do you believe Barack Obama wants the terrorists to win?
Yes 24
No 43
Not Sure 33
Do you believe ACORN stole the 2008 election?
Yes 21
No 24
Not Sure 55
Do you believe Sarah Palin is more qualified to be President than Barack Obama?
Yes 53
No 14
Not Sure 33
Do you believe Barack Obama is a racist who hates White people?
Yes 31
No 36

Bipartisanship is dead for the time being. This is clear. When 63% of Republicans believe that the President is a socialist, there is is little room for agreement on anything, let alone something as complex as health care reform. Level-headed conservatives are being squeezed out of the party daily for not being conservative enough. As Kos explains…
If any Republican strays and decides to do the right thing and try to work in a bipartisan fashion, they suffer primaries and attacks.
On the social issues, the numbers on Republican sentiment are equally discouraging. Example…
Should contraceptive use be outlawed?
Yes 31
No 56
Not Sure 13
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?
Christ 67
Other 15
Not Sure 18
The Republican party is stuck in another era and somehow has failed to evolve in a way one would wish a political party to grow and modernize. I’ve said it before…the United States has more to fear from today’s Republican party than they do from any harm an Osama bin Laden could ever possibly conceive.

And will you look at that, Fox News et al., have done their job with the misinformed.
Isn’t is amazing that all the people that took the poll didn’t bother to find out the facts on their own but swallowed the talking points, the fox lies, the Repub disinformation……
And I’ll repeat. The republicans would love to move us back in time to when before women had the vote, when slavery was still legal, and when a bunch of old white dudes told everyone what to do and what to think
“the United States has more to fear from today’s Republican party than they do from any harm an Osama bin Laden could ever possibly conceive.”
You do realize that they say the same thing about you, don’t you?
