Things That Make You Look Askance...

They did the same poll in my state the week of our primary as well.  And the results were even worse. I just can't help but wonder what it says that, despite all evidence to the contrary, people stubbornly and vehemently cling to such disproved myths.  The only way to still believe this crap is to want to believe it.  And that leads me to thinking...  



Well, here is the result for Illinois  (it was far worse than that in Alabama.  Which--- ughhh!)

Do you think Barack Obama is a Christian or a Muslim, or are you not sure?
Muslim: 39
Not sure: 37
Christian: 24

Do you think Barack Obama was born in the United States, or not?
Was born in U.S.: 36
Not born in U.S.: 36
Not sure: 28

My home's state's depressing result was:

Do you think Barack Obama is a Christian or a Muslim, or are you not sure?
Muslim: 45
Not sure: 41
Christian: 14

I do think there is a bit of a selection process in that... they were polling the crap out of area (I had calls all. the. damn. time.) on my landline but A) I rarely answer my landline because anyone who I know who wants to talk to me will call my cell. B) I have caller I.D. so even if I were tempted to answer, caller I.D. told me who it was so I chose not to.

I would venture to say that there's a percentage of the population that feels the same.
