Jesus H Christ, now I've heard it all! Either this is the biggest poll of bullshit ever, or we might as well start a new party. That would work, right? :sarcasm:

[Deep13]

1. Almost that many believe the Earth was created in six days. nt

[iamthebandfanman]

2. no its not bullshit

its because everyone has labled the president a liberal... even tho he isnt..

see how this works?

they can do whatever they want, for good or bad, and its a liberals fault... even if the person isnt a liberal...

[county worker]

3. This is another "Dem's are in trouble" story. They so want to have a repeat of 1994.

It isn't going to happen no matter how hard the try and push that meme.

[Mojeoux]

21. Agree 100% n/t

[stray cat]

4. Why do so many DUers think they hold the majority opinion on everything?

and that everyone else should fall in line.

[blondeatlast]

6. Seems to me you are the only DUer who consistently holds that belief.

The rest of us admit we can't agree on what color the sky is.

[TheKentuckian]

22. Because free market Reaganisn is a failure. Because there is no invisible hand.

Because all humans are supposed to have equal rights.

Because we really are destroying our habitat and pushing more species to extinction.

Because we really do need clean, available, and renewable energy.

Because no one should be homeless or hungry.

Because every child deserves a quality public education.

Because science does matter.

Because imperialism really is toxic.

Because the gulf between wealth and poverty grows every day.

Because we all need nutritious food, potable water, and clean air.

Because there is no fair balance between right and wrong.

Because a billion Chinese can be wrong and so can a bunch of Americans.

Because we are losing jobs far faster than they can be created.

Because one opinion is not as good as another, there are provable facts.

Because people should come first, not "stakeholders".

Because the "stakeholders" are fucking monsters.

That's a few to start.

[mmonk]

30. We should all fall in line and continue to move right

until we're 100% Republican.

[damntexdem]

5. Americans are told this repeatedly by the MSM.

What else are they supposed to believe, that is of course short of thinking for themselves?

[Scuba]

7. Another attempt to paint the middle far right of where it really is.

I can rig a poll to get whatever results you want.

[Webster Green]

8. Roughly the same percentage never vote.

:boring:

[DCBob]

9. Face it, that's reality in 21st century America...

This economic crisis has not helped. Many Americans are now in survival mode which translates into being more conservative.

[Dr Morbius]

10. I'd like to hear from anyone how it's POSSIBLE to be too liberal.

How is it possible that a person believes too deeply in freedom, in extension of opportunity, in fairness? Really, how CAN you be too liberal?

[DCBob]

14. Many Americans see it as the 3G's.. gays, guns and God...

Sad but thats the way many think.

[B Calm]

15. When you really think about it, the right to own a gun is a very liberal idea!

[DCBob]

16. yeah, perhaps, but most Americas don't "really think"..

most just mindlessly react and are easily manipulated by the media, talk show hosts, friends, relatives, etc.

[Dr Morbius]

27. I suspect the public believes "liberal" means "in favor of big government."

Which it doesn't, of course. Liberals want better government. But the narrative has long been controlled by conservatives.

[Skidmore]

11. The Rs spent several decades educating the public with buzzwords.

They molded an entire generation to believe that only St. Ronnie stood between them and the Evil Empire and a godless land. Rs hold the wealth of this nation and own the institutions. They are the party of money. Our pushback has been feeble for some time now.

[Marr]

12. I don't see why this should be shocking. It says,

"49% of Americans", not "49% of Democrats".

Of course Republicans think Democrats are too liberal. That's why they're Republicans. They also say 40% of Americans think Republicans are too conservative, but I noticed they phrased that as "four in ten" instead.

[marmar]

13. Years of successful mindf**king......and a gullible public that feasts at this buffet of bullsh*t.

[RagAss]

17. You're dealing with RWA ...Right Wing Authoritative Disorder.

[bobbolink]

28. !!!

:applause: :rofl:

[name not needed]

18. Well, this further solidifies my opinion that 90% of Americans are fucking idiots.

[Posteritatis]

19. I hear about half of Americans thinks Republicans are too conservative, too

It's almost like there's some kind of two-party system there.

[Mojeoux]

20. 49 Percent of Neanderthals think Cro -Magnons too liberal. Liberal bad, head smashing good.

I would like someone to tell me something that liberals have called for

that hasn't been validated as in "off shore drilling is dangerous."


Time after time after time, our warnings, our predictions, our causes, have become part of the facts of life.

[SoCalDem]

23. so 51% don't think that?..after 30 years of anti-dem propaganda

In a way it's almost good news

[Downtown Hound]

24. So in other words, more than half of the country doesn't?

Misleading headline and anti-liberal bullshit.

[Bothelo]

25. 49% are Republicans who think any centrist policy is liberal

They have no clue.

[barbtries]

26. i say it's bullshit

of course most of the people i know are not as liberal as i myself. but of those in power, say the president, the congress, no fucking way.

[Junkdrawer]

29. Just selling the coming "Big Republican Win in 2010" script...

To be followed by "The People DEMANDED that Social Security be cut!" script...

"Because you'll believe just about anything!" (tm)

[Curmudgeoness]

31. And the other 51% are Democrats

Duh! Why do we seem to be so attracted to polls and statistics.

[TransitJohn]

32. Reason: Rush Limbaugh in every podunk town in the country. n/t

n/t

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

33. Good God! We know that. They're called Republicans. nt
