Big Government ^ | 12/11/15 | Michelle Fields

Posted on 12/11/2015 7:04:59 PM PST by markomalley

Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump is still leading, according to a new poll that was taken after he called for the temporary ban of Muslims entering into the United States.

The new Reuters/Ipsos poll has Trump leading the Republican field with 35 percent support, followed by Ben Carson with 12 percent. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and former Florida Governor Jeb Bush are at 10 percent.

Most Republicans surveyed also said that they didn’t find Trump’s policy offensive. Only 29 percent of Republicans found the remarks offensive, whereas 64 percent said they didn’t find them offensive.

Why should I be offended?

Seems like a prudent thing to do.

People who follow a “faith” that tells them that Allah wants them to kill everyone who is not muslim should be restricted.

It’s not “anti-Muslim.”

It’s pro-American safety.

Trump is protecting the citizen Muslim-Americans as well that are here.

I didn’t find Trumps remarks “offensive”. I found them sensible and full of common sense. Only a moron ready to sacrifice their head for Allah would find them “offensive”.

I hope Mr. Trump brings some American Muslims into his campaign who can verify he’s not anti-Muslim but instead is pro-America’s safety as he calls for a temporary ban until we improve procedures on vetting ALL immigrants.

We don’t need to bring in more immigrants when the country is 18 trillion in debt and we have homeless vets on the street.
