I found the link to this at PZ's. It nicely demonstrates just how these cretins think [sic]. The 2010 Comprehensive Daily Kos/Research 2000 Poll of Self-Identified Republicans by kos Share this on Twitter - The 2010 Comprehensive Daily Kos/Research 2000 Poll of Self-Identified Republicans Tue Feb 02, 2010 at 08:58:03 AM PST As I've mentioned before, I'm putting the finishing touches on my new book, American Taliban, which catalogues the ways in which modern-day conservatives share the same agenda as radical Jihadists in the Islamic world. But I found myself making certain claims about Republicans that I didn't know if they could be backed up. So I thought, "why don't we ask them directly?" And so, this massive poll, by non-partisan independent pollster Research 2000 of over 2,000 self-identified Republicans, was born.
The results are nothing short of startling.
It's a long poll, so the results are summarized below the fold. For a direct link to the poll's crosstabs, click here.
Ultimately, these results explain why it is impossible for elected Republicans to work with Democrats to improve our country. Their base are conspiracy mongers who don't believe Obama was born in the United States, that he is the second coming of Lenin, and that he is racist against white people. They already want to impeach him despite the glaringly obvious lack of high crimes or misdemeanors. If any Republican strays and decides to do the right thing and try to work in a bipartisan fashion, they suffer primaries and attacks. Even the Maine twins have quit cooperating out of fear of their homegrown teabaggers.
Given what their base demands, and this poll illustrates them perfectly, it's no wonder the GOP is the party of no.

Really, there are only a few suprises in this, but it's good to see the partisan madnes and ignorance supported by actual numbers.
