More than half of Republicans either say President Obama doesn't love America or say they aren't sure of his feelings toward the country he leads.

That's according to a new national poll due out tomorrow from Public Policy Polling. The firm gave TPMDC an early look this afternoon.

PPP polled 766 registered voters nationwide. Of the GOP respondents, 27% agreed that Obama "loves America," 48% disagreed and 25% said they weren't sure.

1. They mistake jingoism for love. Simple-minded sheeple. nt

[Swede]

2. That's incredible.

What do they think he does love?

[sayso7]

7. dijon mustard n/t

[louis-t]

3. "Wants to destroy the country so his kids have

no place to live" I would imagine. :banghead:

[YOY]

4. 100% of YOY thinks that 48% of the less than a third of America can go finger their anuses.

n.t.

[Enrique]

9. good point about the less than a third

fewer and fewer republicans these days...

[Common Sense Party]

5. Not surprising. How many of us believed * loved America?

He sure had a funny way of showing it if he did.

[Laf.La.Dem.]

6. I would have guessed a higher percentage

would have said Obama hates America (forgive me - I watch too much FAUX):puke:

[jwirr]

8. Flagpin = Love. Hard working concern for fellow Americans =

unpatriotic. The pugs need a new dictionary as well as a new Bible.

10. The republicans that I consider friends,

part of the 27%, are sane, sensible people who are deeply embarrassed and disgusted by what they have seen happening to their party. Most have given up on involvement in local party activity due to lack of civil exchange and control by the whackos(their term). As a side note, two voted for Obama; but, insist that voting for one democrat does not mean they are not republicans. Hee-hee there is fertile ground here. My group of friends is 55-70.

:kick:

[appleannie1]

12. your Republican friends mirror mine

[jenmito]

11. That narrative started with Sarah Palin and built from there...

or even earlier with Faux and the non-stop Rev. Wright narrative.

[Vattel]

13. I don't give a shit if he loves America.

Patriotism is over-rated.

[Tarheel_Dem]

14. Backwash. Considering only about 20% of the country identifies itself...

as Republican, I actually think this is a pretty good number. I'm really not sure why we should even care what they think. They never supported him, and they never will; it's as simple as that.

[LynnTheDem]

15. 48% of 20% ....so 9.60% of the dumbest of Americans are idiots who don't think a black American

can possibly love America.

Like Iraqi parents can't really love their kids George W. bUsh slaughtered...'cause they're not really "human".

But really...who gives a flying fuck what 9.6% of the dumbest MFers in the country think.
