This INSANE! NO registered GOP is going to vote for this POS! What a fraud poll!
“NO registered GOP is going to vote for this POS....”
Ehhhh.....most Americans don’t understand DC RinoCrat UniParty Politics.....but ‘Bammy has been the best thing for DC since the New Deal...and that special kind of goodness crosses the aisle big time!!
I think we need to take this seriously. Never underestimate the level of confusion among the American electorate.
There is no doubt that some registered Republicans will vote for President Obama. Just as the Democratic Party still has some conservative Southerners and northern ethnic blue-collar “Reagan Democrats,” the Republican Party does have RINOs.
But this poll goes beyond that and says some self-identified conservatives will vote for Obama. I think this is the best explanation:

I don’t subscribe to the argument particularly while mitt hasn’t yet won the GOP nomination. There are also some SoCons who will not vote for Newt.”
I've been working hard in my own circles to convince people that Newt Gingrich is a tolerable Republican candidate, although I am supporting Santorum and am glad to see Santorum recovering. Barack Obama is far worse than anyone in the Republican race this year, with Romney only barely better than Obama in the positions he was stating a few years ago before he decided to run for the Republican Party at a national rather than state level and started taking a more conservative line.
Again, I can live with either Santorum or Gingrich. Both bring good things to the table and it's a matter of choosing which is better than the other.
However, even in my own church circles, I know a PCA pastor who is publicly stating that he will vote for Barack Obama because he kept his marriage together, and he thinks Obama is fixing the economy that (in his view) Bush ruined. That's absolutely wrong, but how do you argue with ignorance?
I'm trying to convince the minister that voting for a baby-killer is unacceptable and I have a chance of convincing him if Santorum is the Republican nominee, but I don't think I'm going to succeed if Gingrich is the Republican nominee, which means this pastor is going to vote for Obama and urge his church members to do so.
Remember, this guy is not a political or religious liberal, though he's definitely politically naive. He's an ordained minister in a strongly conservative and predominantly Southern denomination, and he's got a lot of conservative Democrats in his congregation who usually vote Republican on national issues but Democrat for state and local offices.
We have to deal with such things. Politics is sometimes difficult because people are often difficult.
