What do you think of this survey?

29% of the GOP in Louisiana just proved how delusional they are in their outright hatred of Obama.

61%
Nah, they were just confused about which hurricane the poll referred to, is all. It's not like Hurricane Katrina affected them personally or anything. Wait a minute...

Obama is a wizard that is twice as powerful as Harry Potter, Gandalf, and Shazam combined and caused the disaster and stifled Bushes potentially heroic response.

Obama is a time traveler that can take over people in the past, this is why Republicans sometimes seem confused or slow to respond, they are good Christian souls trying to resist possession by Obama.

That commie socialist fascist demonic warmongering Kenyan Muslim jihadist dictator wannabe that calls himself Barack (Hussein) Obama is responsible for every evil in Human history, since he is...the devil.

The poll is full of lies! It's an evil liberalist agenda where liberals say they are republican, register as republican, and take the poll to make God fearing Conservatives look bad!

...There are communist bronies on NSG. And they probably do support Obama overall. It isn't all that far-fetched.

So, the comedy options add up to 58%. Twice as many as those in the OP's poll who picked the troll answer. Doesn't fill you with hope for NSG, does it?

Why does no one believe the possessing time traveling ghost option? I thought I covered all the conspiracies?
The government in America can best be described with an analogy. The two political parties are two cats, the elite is a rat, power is the cheese, and the common people is the floor. The floor feels two cats can guard the cheese better than one. But the cats fight each other, and the rat makes off with the cheese in glee. The floor cannot leave, and soon both cats serve the rat, because the rat has the all powerful cheese, and gives the cats a small bit of it. So the floor gets crapped on by all three, as they eat the cheese together.

Yea there is, GreenPeace.
But most Democrats do not pay much attention to the crazy liberal elements. And they have very little impact on the decisions made by Democratic candidates, and are way, way less than a third of the registered Democrats. In any state.


Thanks for reminding me to send in my GreenPeace dues. I've forgotten for a couple of months. And before you suggest that the base isn't listened to at certain levels, look at state party platforms.

No, I mean the radical elements of Greenpeace. What people think of when they think of Eco-terrorists. Not the official Greenpeace party. I should have clarified. Not all of Greenpeace, just their radical slightly vigilante elements, not the main group.
My bad, too wrapped up in this imaginary Obama "friendship is evil commie magic" movie I was trollin on and on about. (harmless trolling for fun, but still).

No no no, he only got into the White House through electoral trickery and pretending he was simply left-of-center and born in a US state (honestly, who's ever heard of this 'Hawaii State'?) when he was secretly a communist-fascist-Islamist raised first in Kenya then in Malaysia, on a diet of puppies and babies' tears.

That is my point. Democrats try to reason and compromise, and although they may be slightly influenced, they are not held hostage by this fringe element. Republicans, due to their base, are not allowed to compromise. This of course is my opinion on the matter. I may dig facts later, I'm having too much fun trollin right now.

There's quite a bit of infighting among Republicans right now. Mostly between the more moderate to neoconservative 'establishment' Republicans and the Tea Party / Libertarian Lite Republicans. Some of the primary battles are showing major shades of this. I wouldn't call it being held hostage, but it's less 'compromise' than 'fight it out'.

But....
Right now for conservatives, to compromise with any liberal leaders is seen as "giving in to the enemy" and is akin to political suicide.
That is what I mean by not being allowed to compromise.
When Republicans get control of their party back( from the wingnuts) They will be, once again, a party that can be worked with.
I want to see the Republicans get their party back. The only thing that scares me more than the damage Republicans are doing right now is the idea they may dissolve and we will have one party in power.
Whenever one party has all control, things usually turn out for the worst. With a few examples, this is mostly true.
