Ohioans Confused about Osama Bin Laden's Death...

"Ohioans confused about bin Laden’s death"
Source: Salon.com
By Jillian Rayfield

According to a PPP poll of likely Ohio voters, 15 percent of Republicans in Ohio think Romney is “more responsible” for bin Laden’s death than Obama, while 47 percent of Republicans are “not sure” whether Obama or Romney deserves more of the credit.

Six percent of the overall respondents gave Romney credit where credit is not at all due. Thirty-one percent of them weren’t sure whether the president or the candidate deserves more credit.

"They want me to give the rat bastid Obummer credit and I won't."

Framing the question that way in the first place was kind of messing with them, wasn't it? Not that it bothers me...

@ppppolls
The reason for the Osama bin Laden question was to see if Republican voters would give credit to Obama for anything. Evidently answer is no

if this reasoning was not admitted too, they would have made themselves pretty illiterate and stupid. Apparently the same has happened in NC. They really hate Obama, eh?

Do they really believe that or are they so full of hate for Obama that they would rather try to give Romney credit for Bin LAden

.............. And here I have been thinking it was their Saint Ronnie Raygun


............ What the heck is in their water, looks dark and mysterious


....... I suppose it IS amazing they would think Rmoney could be responsible since he held NO public office to order such a military operation.

............. Or perhaps think Mittens did it ALL by himself


............ Rambo style


or .............. Not sure which I should do.


............ These people ARE amazing!


............. I suppose I should just give them some hugs. They could use some love because they might have been dropped on their heads at some point during their lives.

Ran across Pakistan in under 3 hours to get him before the Navy Seals got there. On the flight home he balanced the budget.

Romney just gave the order.

I'm surprised it's only 15 percent who think Romney got OBL; I'd have thought the figure at least 45%.

This little article really should get some attention in the national press because it says SO MUCH about this election.

What does this tell us?

1. At least fifteen percent of Republicans are dirt-dog stupid.

2. Some polls are really funny.
