Just how crazy are they?

In the Daily Kos/Research 2000 poll of 2003 self-proclaimed Republicans, some interesting data emerges. (The phone survey was conducted between January 20, 2010 and January 31, 2010.)

In summary, less than half of these Republicans believe that our president was born in the USA, only a slim majority affirm that contraception should be legal, and worst of all, only 8% believe GLBT people should be allowed to teach in public schools.

This, folks, is the Foxification of our country. Try not to think about this while falling asleep tonight – it will give you nightmares.
