"Obama Hatred - Large Portion Of GOP Thinks Obama Is Racist, Socialist, Non-U.S. Citizen: Poll"

A new poll of more than 2,000 self-identified Republican voters illustrates the incredible paranoia enveloping the party and the intense pressure drawing lawmakers further and further away from political moderation.

The numbers speak for themselves -- a large portion of GOP voters think that President Obama is racist, socialist or a non-US citizen -- though, when considering them, it is important to note that a disproportionate percentage of respondents are from GOP strongholds in the South (42 percent) as opposed to the Northeast (11 percent). Also note that this is a poll of self-identified Republicans, which means that independent Tea Party types are not included.

Nevertheless here are some of the standout figures as provided by Daily Kos/Research 2000:

* 39 percent of Republicans believe Obama should be impeached, 29 percent are not sure, 32 percent said he should not be voted out of office.

* 36 percent of Republicans believe Obama was not born in the United States, 22 percent are not sure, 42 percent think he is a natural citizen.

* 31 percent of Republicans believe Obama is a "Racist who hates White people" -- the description once adopted by Fox News's Glenn Beck. 33 percent were not sure, and 36 percent said he was not a racist.

* 63 percent of Republicans think Obama is a socialist, 16 percent are not sure, 21 percent say he is not

* 24 percent of Republicans believe Obama wants "the terrorists to win," 33 percent aren't sure, 43 percent said he did not want the terrorist to win.

* 21 percent of Republicans believe ACORN stole the 2008 election, 55 percent are not sure, 24 percent said the community organizing group did not steal the election.

* 23 percent of Republicans believe that their state should secede from the United States, 19 percent aren't sure, 58 percent said no.

* 53 percent of Republicans said they believe Sarah Palin is more qualified to be president than Obama.

During his appearance at the House Republican retreat last Friday, Obama explained that it was hard to forge bipartisan consensus when lawmakers were trashing his health care bill as a "Bolshevik plot". These poll numbers show that the gulf preventing bipartisan consensus extends well beyond health care.

How does a Republican lawmaker explain to his or her die-hard base that it is important to work on legislation with a racist, socialist president who is illegally holding office only because of the help of ACORN?

"This is why it's becoming impossible for elected Republicans to work with Democrats to improve our country," said Markos Moulitsas, founder and publisher of Daily Kos. "They are a party beholden to conspiracy theorists who don't even believe Obama was born in the United States, and already want to impeach him despite a glaring lack of scandal or wrongdoing. They think Obama is racist against white people and the second coming of Lenin. And if any of them stray and decide to do the right thing and try to work in a bipartisan fashion, they suffer primaries and attacks. Given what their base demands -- and this poll illustrates them perfectly -- it's no wonder the GOP is the party of no."

I'm conservative and if Palin gets the nod in 2012 I have a better chance of writing in "Booth Operator" than voting for that scum bag.

I've leaned republican over the years with the exception of GWB 2nd term and McCain/Palin (which was more a vote for change and against Palin). In 2012 I will vote for who I feel will do the best job.

PS.

I feel Obama inherited an absolute steaming pile of S*h*i*t and the bank bailout had to be done since the credit markets were seized. Not happy with him trying to jam healthcare but I will wait another year before I would consider him a failure.

I know you dont like McCain.. but I really do (except his homophobic attitude bothers me..) like McCain, and I liked him when I lived in Arizona.

Palin on the ticket didnt bother me at first after the RNC when she actually seemed like she had potential.. then of course we all learned.. But to be honest everyone kept saying "one heartbeat away" and "McCain aint gonna last 4 years". I really didnt/dont expect McCain to die in the next three years, and I figured Palin would be as irrelevant as Biden currently is.

Now knowing more about Palin, if she was on top of the ticket for the Republicans or the Tea Baggers I just couldnt do it.

I mean who can resist voting for a gal who said we need more Down Syndrome kids (not less.)

Whole lot of excepts. He's a charismatic manipulator. If he was smarter, he could of been President. He's not that smart. He just manipulates well. He transfers responsibilty well, too. Instead of sticking up for campaign finance (his bill,) he says pretty much nothing can be done, and isn't exactly mad about it... Hello..Textbook Bullshitter.

I had planned to vote for McCain for two years. But then, they picked Palin.

I would vote for her based on the platform upon which she ran. If it wasn't to my liking, I just would not vote.

So what? Ignore it. The quotes were not the point. Just read the poll results. Objective, respected, professional polling org.

Naw, but other people are. I defer to their opinion.

That poll got basically the same results that the FoxNews polls (who also hire professional pollsters, not the webpage polls) get when it hires out to do it's polls.
