I'm sorry to all the sane republicans, but this just has to be talked about...

There was this poll done by asking 2,000 self-defined republicans in January 2010, and here was something I found interesting:

Do you believe Sarah Palin is more qualified to be President than Barack Obama?

Yes 53
No 14
Not Sure 33

WHAT!!!! what. what? why? How is this even partially possible? 14% said no? I will say that I actually did have higher hopes for Republicans. I mean Sarah Palin? I could maybe understand McCain, because at least he was..um, how shall I put this? Well, at least McCain isn't retarded. Well actually, that is an insult to people who actually are mentally challenged, because at least they have reason. SARAH PALIN is a big fucking idiot that makes me squirm in pain when I think about how she is a public figure for women. Truly, she disgusts me. Spewing what she calls thoughts, is something she should never do. And for 53% of the polled Republicans to think that Sarah Palin, a woman who thinks Creationism is real, is more qualified than Barack Obama, a Harvard graduate, is so disgusting that its laughable. Now there are some questions about if this poll is a little skewed to make Republicans seem crazy, so I do take that into account. However, I don't forget how many people in Stony Point, my hometown area, were in awe of her! And I couldn't help but guffaw every time a WOMAN came in and praised her to the skies. I mean she is the exact opposite of progression of woman, and those women who had her back JUST BECAUSE SHE HAD THE SAME GENITALIA AS THEM, are sexist, and sad! I will never stop disliking that woman, and I will never respect her unless she comes out and tells the world how much of a disgrace she is.

Should same sex couples be allowed to marry?

Yes 7
No 77
Not Sure 16

Should gay couples receive any state or federal benefits?

Yes 11
No 68
Not Sure 21

Should openly gay men and women be allowed to teach in public schools?

Yes 8
No 73
Not Sure 19

Should openly gay men and women be allowed to serve in the military?

Yes 26
No 55
Not Sure 19

This makes me mad. Furious. Like what can openly gay men and women do? They shouldn't be allowed to teach, or defend their country? And really, Republicans? You're going to deny gay men and women their PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS if it means getting married, or being in the military? I just love how the same republicans that took this survey would probably call me a traitor and unpatriotic. It hurts me to think that so many people are still so prejudiced. It hurts my heart.

Should public school students be taught that the book of Genesis in the Bible explains how God created the world?

Yes 77
No 15
Not Sure 8

Wow. I would cry if my Social Studies or Science teacher started teaching me about Adam and Eve.

I'm going to stop putting these things up, but I would just like to mention that about a third of the polled wants contraceptives outlawed. I am going to have to believe that these 2000 republicans are just like the ultra conservatives, because my brain cannot handle otherwise.
