Poll: Majority of Republicans believe Obama is a 'socialist'
Politico.com ^ | 2/2/10 | Andy Barr

A new poll of self-identified Republicans released Tuesday shows a large slice of the GOP believes President Barack Obama is a “socialist” who was not born in this country, should be impeached, wants the terrorists to win and only won the 2008 election because ACORN “stole” it for him.

The survey of 2003 self-identified Republicans, who typically trend much more conservative than voters who “lean” Republican, was conducted by Research 2000 for the liberal blog Daily Kos.

According to the poll, 63 percent of Republicans believe Obama is a socialist; 39 percent think Obama should be impeached; 24 percent said Obama wants “the terrorists to win”; and 31 percent agreed with the statement that Obama is “a racist who hates white people.”

Those numbers are just a portion of the results from the poll that paints the GOP as much more socially conservative — and in some cases conspiratorial — than most analysts would be willing to grant.

According to the survey, 36 percent of respondents do not believe the president was born in this country, and 21 percent think the liberal advocacy group ACORN stole the election for Obama.

That’s unfortunate. They’re not paying attention or they’d know he is a Communist.

I worry about Republicans who don’t know Badcrack Obamao is a socialist. Liberals lie, so it doesn’t matter what they say they believe.

Looks like this might be a main thrust of their strategy for this election...ridicule conservatives to try to steer away from the fact that the accusation is true.

Zero made fun of the Repubs thinking he was a "Bolshevist" at the GOP meeting last week.

I happened to catch the ‘Kos Queen’ on ‘UberDork’ last night making fun of the people who voted in the polls (which he created, BTW). If you don’t like the answer, Commies, don’t poll.

“Poll: Majority of Republicans believe Obama is a ‘socialist’”

“Poll: Majority of Democrats believe Obama is not ‘socialist’ enough.”

Well, he is a socialist. Words mean things. He’s never even denied it when discussing being called one.

ONLY 63%?

They should poll us "Conservatives" as opposed to Republicans. I bet it would be closer to 93%! lol

He’s a fascist, for sure, but not a “national” socialist.

Sowell observed that both sides of the political spectrum point at the other as the “fascists” or the “nazis”. The left sees the right’s respect for country and tradition as “fascist”, and the right sees the left’s love of collectivism as “fascist”.

Obama’s not a national socialist. He’s an INTERnational socialist. He hates this nation and wishes to see it absorbed under some global governance.

Apparently 37% either haven't been paying attention, or wouldn't recognize a socialist if it bit them on the a$$ and screamed.

We’re being called “conspiratorial” by the “9/11 was an inside job” brigade. Ain’t that some sh*t.
