G.O.P.= GOOFY OLD PARTY

I can't believe what I've just read. In perusing the web today, I happened upon Bruce Drake's article in Politics Daily on a recent Republican poll regarding Obama . I have no illusions as to the President's popularity (or lack thereof) within the G.O.P., but some of the results shook me.

63% of those polled (2300 Republicans) think Barack Obama is a Socialist. O.K., to some any touch of governmental interference (or meddling is the stock word) is interpreted as Socialist. I don't agree. You may not agree with his methods, but he certainly is trying to save businesses, create jobs and fiscally stimulate the economy.

39% think he should be impeached. For what? For disagreeing with them? He hasn't unzipped his fly in public that I am aware of, and he seems to be a loving father and husband. I don't think he is a radical Muslim, and he certainly wants to strengthen our military to combat radical extremists.

Now this is the one that really bugged me. 53% BELIEVE THAT SARAH PALIN IS MORE QUALIFIED TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES THAN OBAMA!!! You've got to be kidding. I understand party loyalty but not when it flies in the face of reality. What has Sarah Palin proved as a politician and as a governor? From what I read, most Alaskans are fed up with her and see her exodus as good riddance. I'll say this for her: she is attractive physically with very good legs. I haven't noted that as a prerequisite to running for President. P.S.: I'm not a chauvinist pig, and a truly qualified woman would be fine with me.

Any resemblance to the Republican Party I once knew and supported is purely coincidental. I don't think I recognize the landscape around here...did I move to Mars or Saturn and don't know it?
