Shocking new poll details Republican stances on issues and facts (Part 4)

Do you believe Barack Obama was born in the United States, or not?

36% of all respondents said “no”. 42% of respondents said “yes”. 22% said they were “not sure”. It's a good thing that 42% number is as high as it is, because it wasn't always; especially during the 2008 Election (before Sen. John McCain discounted it, with no help from his running mate).

For the record, his birth certificate can be seen here and his birth announcement can be seen here. These are easily found in any Google search, and have been available for the better part of 2 years.

The fact that 36% of people ignore this absolute fact (and 39% of “self-identified” Republican Men), and another 22% aren't “sure”, is mind-numbing and staggering in the level of idiocy required to believe it. What can't be quantified is if this is a product of Republican “message”, or if this is a product of people's unwillingness to believe basic and proven facts simply because the subject of those facts disagree with their political positions.

Do you think Barack Obama is a socialist?

63% of respondents said “yes”. 21% said “no”. Another 16% weren't “sure”. So, 79% of all “self-identified” Republicans aren't completely convinced that the President of the United States isn't a Socialist. Not only has the President not done anything Socialist, or anything that Republicans haven't already done themselves (remember, TARP was signed into law by President Bush); but the reality is that President Obama's positions generally don't differ much from the previous President.

He voted to re-authorize the USA PATRIOT Act and the warrantless wiretapping provisions in the most recent FISA bill. He ran to the right of Sen. McCain concerning the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan during the Presidential Campaign and has governed as such while in office.

Progressives and Leftists have decried this President as “just another Neo-Con”. Brian Moore, who ran for President on the Socialist Ticket in 2008 said that “calling (President) Obama a 'Socialist' is an insult to Socialists.” The fact that “President Obama” and “Socialist” can be uttered in the same sentence with a straight face is simply beyond comprehension.

Do you believe Barack Obama wants the terrorists to win?

Amongst all respondents, 24% said “yes”, 43% said “no”, and 33% said they weren't “sure”. Let's, for a moment, forget the fact that 67% of people in this poll essentially just accused the President of treason by giving aid and comfort to the enemy. What in heaven's name would President Obama gain by the terrorists “winning”?

There is no apparent answer to that question that can be easily determined. It must be stated that there's a school of thought that on the basis of this answer alone, the terrorists have already “won”. A terrorist's goal is to do one thing: to terrorize, that is, to instill fear in their target.

This poll answer, along with several others, could be construed as clear evidence of people who have been instilled with “fear”, and gravitate toward anything that swears to protect them. Perhaps the Republicans are really the ones who want the terrorists to “win”? It would certainly garner them more broad-based support.

    Tell me the name of the hospital that Obama was born in? Hmm, why doesn't anyone know that?
    And why did two hawaii newspapers have the same exact list including spelling mistakes? Answer, the hawaii office of births just sends over a list including those who were not born but registered in Hawaii. This was completely common around the country yet everyone wants to ignore that fact. There is no proof whatsoever obama was born in hawaii. Get the facts, and not from google.

    But, Obama is not a natural born citizen. His father had a kenyan flag on his back along with a british flag, his mother had an american flag, that means Obama had a kenyan, a british, and an american flag on his back. Now please tell me how he could be a Natural Born citizen as required by the constitution? He can't, but let the Supreme court confirm that.

    "Obama released his Hawaiian birth certificate and had it verified by an independent organization and the results were posted online for everyone to see."

    Repeating this false propaganda over and over does not make it true.

    No matter what you might think there is no escaping that AKA Obama is not practicing the virtue of full disclosure.

    In 1961, the Public Health Services, U. S Department of Health, Education and Welfare, National Center for Health Statistics, National Vital Statistics Division published the "Vital Statistics of the United States

    There is a blank copy of the Standard Certificate of Live Birth used by all states including Hawaii., This is the information being hidden by Obama.

    Who Certified AKA Obama as "Natural Born"?

    Google: Obama “I have nothing to hide but I’m hiding it.”

    Obama wants to destroy the greatest nation on earth. He wants to take away my money and freedom and have a Chavez like dictatorship of socialist principles. I don't want him to succeed.

    ANYTHING to bring him down is okay by me.

    Thomas,

    Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy. Tsk, tsk. tsk.

    "absolute fact"?

    Do you believe in UFOs because there is a picture of one on a web site? Would you believe in UFOs if the MSM said they exist?

    BTW, if you really have found the "birth certificate" you will be up for a Pulitzer. The only claim floating around is for a "certificate of live birth" -- not the "birth certificate."

    You are accepting information on blind faith based on your politics.

    Try doing a little homework and read some of the articles discussing this topic in depth and you will understand why 36% of Republicans (and even some hardcore Democrats like myself who voted for Obama) are not sure where Obama was born. (You may also get your terminology straight. :-)

    Research, research, research...Spreading the lies doesn't work anymore Thomas. There is more evidence to him not being eligible than there is for him being legitimate. He is not and never will be a natural born citizen as required by the Constitution.

    HI Attorney General’s office refuses to corroborate Obama’s HI Birth

    WON’T DEFEND FUKINO’S STATEMENT THAT HE IS “NATURAL-BORN AMERICAN CITIZEN”. Google it.
