---Modified title, as Hurricane Katrina is famous enough Hurricane is not needed in title---
---Added best attempt to make the poll less biased due to post... :p
Due to offended conservatives, added a "the pollers are trollin, nothin to see here, move along" option :rofl: ----
In a survey of Louisiana Republicans, when asked who was to blame for the devastation from the poor government response to hurricane Katrina, 28% blames Bush, 44% did not know who to blame, and 29% blamed Obama.
They responded with these numbers despite the fact Hurricane Katrina happened 3 years before Obama took office.

This in my opinion shows just how out of reality the GOP base is with, well, reality.

What say you? Is the GOP delusional? Does Obama have magic powers of a planes-walker and summoned the Hurricane Katrina storm and then cast a befuddle spell on President Bush to make him look bad? Is Obama a time traveling operative a la quantum leap and took over Bush so he could not respond? Or some other answer.

Side note. How worried does this make you, considering with the gerrymandering and the unfair representation between cities and rural areas (that is more based on territory and not population so much, so the rural areas have a disproportional voice in relation to their overall percentage of the total population, so we will not likely anytime soon shake their death-grip on congress) that this minority that enjoys so much control over our government, is almost a third (at least in Louisiana ) delusional?


Or do you think they know the truth, and we need to open our eyes to the evils of the commie socialist fascist demonic warmongering Kenyan Muslim jihadist dictator wannabe that calls himself Barack (Hussein) Obama?( In a scratchy whisper)who is the devil....


Personally, I think this proves how delusional 29 % of Republicans in Louisiana actually are. You?

I know, I compressed it so it would fit. Damn NS limits on title length!
But seriously, to avoid flames from conservatives, I made sure to post in the title that this survey was of Louisiana Republicans, not American Republicans, since the immediate response I could see would be to accuse me a cherry picking or misrepresentation of the title, instead of debating the survey results.

Probably with a bonfire of strawmen and religious logic.

I hope that that's just 29% of people who forgot when exactly Katrina happened...

This might in fact be a case of @29% of GOP respondents don't pay very close attention to, or take very seriously, a random survey and have gotten used to gainsaying "Obama" when someone says "Who do you blame?"

Which sounds like I'm making excuses, but such a state is also kind of sad.

It is question 2.
Who do you think was more responsible for the poor response to Hurricane Katrina: George W.Bush or Barack Obama?
George W. Bush 28%

On a second look, the cobwebs cleared in my thinking process, and I removed Hurricane from the title.

Yes, it happened Three years before he was president.
Like I stated, this proves to me how delusional a third of the Republicans in Louisiana really and truly are...
I actually think they live in a fantasy world, thus my poll options...

As a follow up, maybe ask these people if Obama is to blame for the conviction of Rubin Carter.

"Survey of 274 Republican primary voters" ... Still, it looks bad, if nothing else. I noticed from poking around the PPP site, they're showing a majority of Louisianans disapproving of Bobby Jindal.
