Are They Really This Stupid?

Friday, March 27, 2009

Steve Benen at Washington Monthly tells us about an actual survey the Republican National Committee emailed to its supporters this morning. Believe it or not, these are real questions they asked:

*"A recent national poll reported that nearly 25% of Americans want the government to pass more socialism. Do you agree or disagree?"
Is this even English? "pass more socialism?" How does one "pass socialism" exactly? As someone at Washington Monthly wrote, "Is that like passing gas?"

*"Should we resist Barack Obama's proposal to spend billions of federal taxpayer dollars to pay 'volunteers' who perform his chosen tasks?"
Riiiight...national service corps members will be tasked with making Barack Obama's coffee every morning. Ha.

*"Do you think U.S. troops should have to serve under United Nations' commanders?" Oh, and watch out for those scary black helicopters while you're at it!

And my favorite question of all:

*"What are the weaknesses of the Republican Party?"
That's easy: ignorance, stupidity, moral bankruptcy, paranoia, greed...

One thing's for sure, it's obvious after reading these questions why flat-earth know-nothings like Eric Cantor, Jeff Frederick, and Bob McDonnell are Republicans and not Democrats.
