1. Less than half.

Those voting for 60% or greater, I would speculate, have not friends who are Republicans.

2. I don't want to comment and introduce pollster bias into my poll.

8. I don't think anyone would worry about it.

It's not like this is going to be published somewhere as a thoroughly objective survey of the American public.

3. Why on earth would I have republican friends?

I get to choose my friends. I choose wisely.

[Buzz Clik]

6. You choose your friends based on political orientation? Holy crapoli!

But, it does point out that your vote on this poll is based on ... nothing.

[Codeine]

15. Why would I want a bigot for a friend?

Or a person with contempt for the less fortunate? A person who views gays as inherently sinful?

[Buzz Clik]

17. Take a quick look at the definition of bigotry.

Ask yourself if it applies to you and your attitude toward Republicans. Not Tea Partiers or the KKK. Republicans. You know the answer, and I don't. But I will say this: I have great friends who are Republicans and staunch conservatives, and they are good people (why is it necessary to even say this?).

4. I know many people who ued to be Republicans but are now independent.

They left the GOP when the teabaggers started up.

[Buzz Clik]

7. If they would have been more active in representing their views...

... then the GOP would be a little less insane.

11. I don't think the Republican party would be any more open to the rank+file members....

then the Democratic Party is. Right now the system is designed not to listen to any of us, at best they pick and chose small groups of us to provide political cover for the actions that they have been paid to do.

12. The Tea Party demonstrated that is not true.

They invoked total change by being passionate, involved, and unrelenting.

We're all worse off for it, but it's what they did.

[daleanime]

13. They were useful.....

the 'total change' they 'invoked' was only what their owners wanted. Plus just enough red meat to keep them barking at Obama, which is pretty much all they do.

14. Cruz is in office because of the Tea Party. He's not alone.

Boehner was tossed from his position due to the Tea Party and close allies.

The extreme right rhetoric and intolerance are a direct result of knowing the the Tea Party has tremendous impact at the grass roots level.

Writing them off as toothless kooks who are the puppets of some master controller foolish.

9. Did they leave to escape the teabaggers?

Or to become them?

I can't speak as to the people you know, but quite a few teabaggers were "independents" simply to distance themselves from association with Bush.

[MohRokTah]

10. They left to escapre the Teabag takeover.

The decided the party was no longer representative of their beliefs once the baggers took control.

5. Scary times

This is the result of decades of the American public being misinformed by the media. A bigger terrorist attack or two and they'll start building concentration camps, and no I am not exaggerating. They are talking about exterminating the families of suspected terrorists so they can't continue to breed and they are being serious about it.

Trump's poll numbers are going to go up from this, just watch.

[WillowTree]

16. Doesn't matter.

Trying to institute any kind of religious test would be struck down as unconstitutional post haste. Big words with nothing but hot air behind them.
