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!

At the time I'm posting this response, 22% of NSG believes:

Also a possibility. I would guess this is more likely than 29% of the GOP believing in Barack through Time.

Barack through time!
The new thrilling series that will appear on Fox primetime, starring the spunky and daring crew of Christian soldiers led by non other than Bill O'Reilly that battle the time traveling demonic forces of evil led by the commie socialist fascist demonic warmongering Kenyan Muslim jihadist dictator wannabe that calls himself Barack (Hussein) Obama, who is secretly the Devil!

It's a show you cannot miss, that is too scary to not be true!

What's sad, I would watch this just for the zany over the top story. :lol2:

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.

I just don't see this as an issue, only taken out of context. I don't associate myself with Republicans, and even less so those in the Deep South (out of fear of stereotype, admittedly), but we can't go around bashing people for something that isn't true.

Unfortunately, I'm not surprised. The Louisiana GOP is delusional enough to blame a then senator on a hurricane that happened several states away.

Personal political agenda aside, do you seriously think 29% of people would blame someonefor something that happened three years before he took office?

To break a lance in the Louisiana GOP's favour, only one quarter of them chooses the lulzy option on polls/is that loony.

I'm aware. I should've worded my post to say I'm not surprised that "a third of Louisiana GOP'ers are delusional enough to blame Obama for this."

Isn't voting for "Jedism" and similar loon-isms in serious polls kinda loon-ing childish?

I doubt there are only 274 registered Republicans in Louisiana.

Honestly is this that surprising? Blaming things on the other party is commonly done by America.
