From Rassmussen report:

“The largest group, representing 24% of the nation’s voters, are both fiscally and socially conservative. ...McCain leads Obama 82% to 13% among these voters. “

Can someone explain to me why 13% of those who claim to be both fiscally and socially conservative want to vote for Obama?

Apparently, 13% of this 24% are illiterate or incapable of rational thought. That moron percentage is considerably higher in most of the other groupsa Rasmussen describes.

‘Cause he’s ‘black.’

The 13% believe that 1) fiscal deficits require increased tax rates and 2) virtue is achieved by legislation. These premises are wrong, but the 13% correctly reasons that Comrade Hussein shares their premises.

I can’t explain that one. Well, perhaps I can in a way.

I have family members who think they are quite liberal. The thing is, when you start asking them questions about certain things, you find out that they really aren’t neraly as liberal as they think they are.

It’s the Rush Limbaugh test. It reveals that some folks aren’t quite who they think they are. Some people who think they are liberal are not nearly as liberal as they think they are. Some people who think they are Conservatives aren’t nearly as Conservative as they think they are.

I have no idea how large a group this is on either side, but perhaps this 13% figure is as good a number as any.

If you can vote for Obama, you’re not a well grounded Conservative by any stretch of the imagination.
