36% said it would help the Republicans in the next election.
6% had no opinion.

Do you believe the Republican Party should denounce those that bring guns to townhall events?

13% said they absolutely should not.

Do you believe the Republican Party should work with the President to fix the problems with our healthcare system?
68% said yes.
29% said no.
3% had no opinion or said it did not matter.

Do you believe the Republican opposition to healthcare is receiving equal scrutiny from the press as the Obama plan to reform healthcare?

1% said the media was too liberal.

4. The purpose of my post...

was to show how easy it is to say you have a poll? Anybody can take a poll but it is the questions that are asked that are important. Nobody is holding the Republicans responsible for their total disregard of the issue. The media is carrying their water once again. I suppose we are to assume that since every Republican is against any type of reform, there is no political price for them to pay?

2. As if everyone did not know...

But this was a fake poll.

But they are legitimate questions that should be asked in polls and by reporters but are not. It doesn't matter if the entire Republican Party is against reform. There is no political price to pay. It doesn't matter if their supporters bring guns to townhalls where the President is speaking, they have no obligation or responsibility to denounce such stupidity. Their opposition to needed reform does not receive equal attention from the press to Obama's plan to reform healthcare??

We need to ask them why?
