78% of 75 Republican-party leaders consider Barack Obama a socialist
The Esquire Survey of America's Republican Elite
Promised anonymity, 75 Republican-party leaders respond to questions about Glenn Beck, a flat tax, who should run in 2012, their favorite Democrat, and much more ...

So what's the consensus?
Based on our survey, conducted over the course of six weeks last fall and administered with a guarantee of anonymity to all participants, three out of four leaders of the Republican Party consider Barack Obama to be a socialist. More than one in four consider him the worst president of all time. Sixty-seven percent would consider supporting a pro-choice candidate. Seventy-one percent think W. made the right call in Iraq. No one really likes taxes or the birthers. And a lot of people like Mitt Romney.

4. The older I get, the more I despise - and yes, hate - the Rethuglican pigs.
They are Rush Limbaugh. And that's all they are. They are also killers, in Iraq and elsewhere, and it's likely we will see that side of them again soon.

72% think Bush made the right call in Iraq?! Obviously there's an awful lot of Republican leaders on the losing side of the intelligence bell curve!

Fundies will never go for a Mormon I'd bet. Ron Paul write-in and Teabaggers will divide the party I hope.

15. Just more of the same in the dog-and-pony show that passes for
Edited on Sun Feb-28-10 12:56 AM by Foo Fighter
so-called elected representation in this country.

Of COURSE they're going to say Obama is a Socialist. That's what the script calls for. In response to those accusations, Obama will move even further to the right to prove he's not one of those evil socialists. And the farce continues...

In the meantime, the rest of us are living through Bush's third term.
