In Iowa, a glimpse into the mindset of GOP voters

3:26 pm February 8, 2011, by Jay

Over the weekend, GOP pollster Frank Luntz gathered a focus group of Iowa Republicans to watch and respond to Bill O’Reilly’s interview with President Obama.

The session, also broadcast on Fox, offers a pretty revealing glimpse of the type of voter that GOP candidates will be courting at the Iowa caucuses less than a year from now.

– Jay Bookman

7. the thing is, Opi
whoever wins the GOP nomination will have to appeal to those moronic racist fucks. And in order to win the general election, that person will also have to appeal to moderates and independents.

2. In iowa.....
I don't see a gop candidate with the charisma to take on the president in 2012, so I'm not very worried about what the fox people think.

25. A prosperous, peaceful eight years? The Clinton years accelerated the decline in American
manufacturing with the passage of NAFTA, GATT, WTO. The brutal, grinding sanctions against Iraq continued unabated as did the nearly daily bombings in the so called no fly zones. There were wars in Bosnia and Somalia. Clinton signed the repeal of Glass-Steagal that led directly to the financial meltdown of three years ago. As to the election of Bush, it was the closest election in US electoral history and a mere nine votes were counted. Bush won 5 to 4, and Clinton/Gore and ALL of the democrats in the senate remained silent.

No they didn't! :eyes:

Bush lost! Remember?

The Supremes appointed him Prez... and that was the day the USA died. We've been running around like chicken with its head cut off for a decade now.

4. My god...
I've never seen such a cross section of stupidity and ignorance when it comes to Republicans. Frank Luntz is a complete tool, and this kind of fractious, fear mongering focus group rhetorical ill-informed nonsense is only going to hurt the G.O.P. com 2012. It's obvious these people watch too much Sarah Palin and Fox News. Stupid sells, and Fox News is making a fortune.

8. Man, these folks are incredibly stupid!
Where did FOX get these yahoos? What's there to be "proud" of? They have an incredibly short memory is they've forgotten all the ill that W foisted on the world.

It sounded like an "I'll say something more bizarre than what the previous guy said" contest...

17. fox, not the RW blogs, or papers can't sell this kind of idiocy. radio is the
main problem here and until the Left pulls their fingers out of their ears and start shaming and boycotting the local sponsors that keep those 1000 radio stations running this will national coordinated misinformation will continue.

it is as if every day the corporate think tanks and GOP spinners set up soapboxes on every corner and stump in america and scream that we and our reps are traitors and liars and thieves and our causes will destroy america.

and the left just walks by and has with this free speech free ride the right has created an alternate reality.

23. Keep in mind, in Iowa
Edited on Tue Feb-08-11 08:02 PM by kdtroxel
Keep in mind that in Iowa, we have paper ballots, but they are counted by Electronic Election Systems (EE&S), since the ballots are never manually counted to verify the electronic count, who knows if our elections are from the vote of the people or those entities that count them.

"Those who cast the votes decide nothing, those who count the votes decide everything." - Joseph Stalin

After watching the video:

Who cares what religion a person follows, their actions and deeds define the man. Obama is the mirror image by action, to Bush Jr., imo.

32. What a bunch of parrots...
They parrot the talking points and don't get how stupid they appear.

Obama is NOT the effing president of Egypt and he has NO RIGHT to include or exclude any group the Egyptian people want to speak with!

ARGH! This is disturbing.

Edited on Thu Feb-10-11 01:31 PM by Enthusiast
believe this stuff? They have been constantly indoctrinated to believe the most ridiculous nonsense. Fox News feeds them this nonsense then asks them what they believe. They actually fear that Sharia law is going to be forced on them. Duh. Propaganda works.
