Two of three Republicans: Obama's a Socialist

THE NEXT TIME THAT you have lunch with three Republicans, you should know that two of them believe President Obama is a Socialist. That's the finding of a poll by Research 2000, a well grounded independent pollster that ran the survey for the Daily Kos, a liberal Blog. The survey reported 66 pct. believe Obama is a lefty who dreams of owning General Motors and such.

Want more from the folks who support that other party that keeps talking about bipartisanship and human values? More than half of them don't believe that Obama was born in the U.S, or, like the Republican lieutenant governor of Tennessee, aren't sure. There were a lot of other things in the Republican profile from the survey that was anti-gay, and pro-Sarah Palin. It also reaffirmed what has been known in certain religious quarters many times before. Two thirds of the Republicans say the only way to get to Heaven is through Jesus Christ.

By the way, your luncheon partners may uneasily dismiss the results. But that's not how they will vote in the privacy of the booth. Fair warning.
