29% of Louisiana GOP blame Obama for poor Katrina response

[The Scientific States]

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."

I doubt there are only 274 registered Republicans in Louisiana.

No, of course not. But, this is an opinion poll that likely reflects the attitudes of many Louisiana republicans.

Ordinarily I would agree but the poll question is so obvious a trap that I have to think PPP was trolling.

...that's kind of a stretch.

Depending on the rigorousness of the polling/sampling, it could depict the attitudes of Louisiana GOP Primary Voters, or of just...274 members of said group.

Please put option that tiny poll is tiny, not nearly enough for an accurate representation.

Hurr durr let's laugh at the stupid rednecks.

Possibly, but the sample size is way too small.

Maybe they were just confused as to which hurricane that was. I really hope that's what it is.

Meh, fair enough.

I'm pretty sure, the more I look at it. The poll only gave an option between Dubya, Obama, or Not Sure (which of the two), with no options for other, local politicians present (for 2005) or past. The intent seems fairly obvious; if most choose Bush, then even Republicans believe Bush is at fault. If they choose Obama, they're all stoopid. If they choose not sure, they're too stoopid to make up their mind when it's obviously all Bush's fault. Given that, they picked the most trollish answer.

Is there any disaster they *won't* blame on Obama?

I believed that the Bush Administration mishandling of Katrina was a factual thing...

The point is that it's a political trap. No matter which option struck the most, it'd be used to bash republicans.

What's to bash? People being reasonable, non-partisan and objective?

No, as said above. Republicans even saying that their most recent chief executive was disastrous. It may make sense to do so, but the headline would still be along the lines of "Majority Louisiana Republicans Find Bush a Failure" and have us talking about how the republicans have no faith in their own leaders.

[Skappola]

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.
-------------(small grammatical edit)------------

This would be such an awesome show.

I'd like to the see the questions on the poll.

This.

[Colbert Super PAC]

They're right of course.

I would also watch it for the hammy acting. I am a sucker for over dramatic, captain Kirk esque acting. And Bill O'Reilly would deliver a memorable, Kirk esque performance in my opinion.

[Dracoria]

Murrica, y u do dis?

Because, given the obvious intent of the poll, they be trollin'.

[Planita]

Honesty, I know that it is only a small percentage of the Louisiana GOP that took the poll, but anyone that blames someone THREE YEARS BEFORE he could have done something is clearly insane

Meanwhile, Kathleen Blanco and Ray Nagin are still safely off the hook.

Not Nagin. He'll be doing time with the Feds.

Sweet! Consider me happily reprimanded.

I rarely read anything beyond the OP, but

this is incredibly disappointing.
