Self-identifying Republicans are a pretty scary bunch.

The more reasonable GOPtards like grumbler and berkut claim to be independent these days.
I wonder how they narrowed down the pool to self-identifying Republicans.

Probably...

B) Independent

Maybe they only accepted Republicans able to show their membership card upon request.

Maybe they used the VRWC secret handshake?

I'll patiently await the "Poll: Majority of Democrats believe Republicans are Nazis", thread.

Majority of Democrats polled believe Dick Cheney personally piloted both airplanes in to the World Trade Center.

It's more of a fist bump these days.  :rolleyes:

A TERRORIST fist bump?

QuoteMeanwhile, nearly a quarter of the Republicans polled, 23 percent, want their state to secede from the union.

:lol: Ok I never want to hear a Republican attack the left as being anti-American again.  At least the wacky leftists just threaten to leave the country, the wacky right wants to destroy it.  Of course surely they were just...what...drunk when they answered those questions?

But I mean seriously these guys make Hans appear to be a clear thinking moderate by comparison...actually judging by the level of political discourse in this country these days he pretty much is.

Possibly.  But 20% is about  the baseline "batshit crazy" amount.  You can find 20% of the population willing to support ghosts and thinking GWB was too liberal.

They should get jobs like everybody else.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Most people don't know what a socialist is. Any party that is slightly left of centre right is labelled a socialsit.

Calling Obama a socialist doesnt seem too terrinly off the mark. Certaintly he is more interested in equity than liberty.

But, more importantly, the secession values are higher than they have been in a very long time. Kittens.
It can't be helped...We'll have to use 'that'

Eh both Republicans and Democrats love executive power and control once they obtain the office.  When they are out of power they champion individual rights and local government.

Actually, I think the term "socialist" has such a negative connotation here that folks on the left shy away from using it even when it is accurate.  We have quite a few de facto socialists in the US, but few will self-identify as such.
