7. How about a comparison to the rest of the Nation?
My guess is the rest of America contains a rough 23% that believe stupid things. Otherwise, how can one explain Dubya's 25% approval rating?

Not suprised. When Faux News & Focus on the Family is all they hear or read.
Oh well its a big state with lots of space where nothing exists.
That's how the FLDS got away with their business as long as they did.

The kind of place where you never ever have to venture beyond you're county.
Creepy.

13. Nah, they don't really believe that. It has become code for black. It's just easier to say he is a
muslim.

14. I highly doubt it's isolated to Texas.

There are a lot of morons in many states, and I suspect that there are plenty of others that would poll similarly.
