2. Would you vote for a candidate who has a Muslim-sounding name like Barack Hussein Obama?
What a silly reason not to vote for somebody. It's beneath us.
There are many legitimate reasons not to vote for him - we don't need to make up ludicrous ones.
My point was to illustrate how the left will design polls specifically to smear Republicans, but would never do the same thing to a 'Rat.
They never ran around in 2000 asking people if they would be comfortable having a Jew a heartbeat away from the presidency.
Exactly right. The "sound" of a candidate's name is not a reason to vote or not vote. Illinois residents should have learned that lesson about twenty years ago; some candidates for state races had ethnic-sounding names (Polish, Italian) and others had "American" sounding names. People voted for the "American" sounding names, and elected a bunch of LaRouche supporters, who had run "American" names for exactly that reason.
