NJ's Republicans Want Me?

by: DBK

Fri Oct 30, 2009 at 04:13:39 PM EDT

I moved out of New Jersey a year and a half ago.  Being one of those responsible types, I sent in my little blue card that informed my local elections board that I was no longer a New Jersey voter and registered to vote here in my new home of Minnesota.

A couple of months ago I received a letter in the mail asking me if I was still a resident of New Jersey.  I responded with the enclosed envelope and response sheet, saying no, I am not a New Jersey resident anymore and I already sent in the form that said so.  I was a little annoyed at what I viewed as a typical civic foul-up, but upon consideration, I decided that this might have been an attempt to verify the card I sent in rather than take my original mail as gospel.

I'll take a side order of "crazy" with that question, please…

There's been talk about a new PPP Poll and the (I think) 9 point Christie lead, but what hasn't been discussed is the strange question thrown into the poll:
only 79 percent of voters ready to rule out the possibility that their president is the Anti-Christ. Eight percent say he is, while 13 percent are not sure.

[snip]

Twelve percent of McCain voters think Obama is the Anti-Christ. Twenty-one percent are not sure.

Fourteen percent of Republicans think Obama is the Anti-Christ. Fifteen percent are not sure.

Eighteen percent of "conservative" voters think Obama is the Anti-Christ. Seventeen percent are not sure.

Now, if I were asked that question a few years ago about Bush, I probably would have answered "yes" or "hell yes" just as a goof.  But with the level of vitriol and the Bible Thumpers (who don't actually follow what is written in the Bible) and teabaggers and wingnuts and outright racists coming out from all corners of Right Wingnutistan, you never know just how many of them answered this question seriously.

That being said, I was able to uncover (due to super duper sleuthing) some other views of NJ republicans that will make your head spin (and not because it is Obama the anti-Christ making your head spin):

  • 57% of NJ republicans believe that the "Democratic Party" secretly took the letter "N" out of the name and was really the "Demoncratic Party"
  • 42% believe that "ACORN" stands for "American Criminals (for) Obama Rule Now";
  • 67% don't actually know what the word "socialism" means (ok, so this one may be real);
  • 36% think that "Marxism" is based on using comedic eyeglasses and moustaches to lull the electorate into subservience;
  • 29% think Corzine got his wealth by personally stealing billions from NJ taxpayers and pocketing it all; and
  • 19% support Christie Whitman in her run for Governor this year;

Oh yeah, one more for you.  72.96% of all statistics are made up.....

NJ Lawmakers on both sides of gay marriage debate, press agendas

by: FogerRox

Assemblyman Richard Merkt, R-Morris, wants to impeach the entire NJ Supreme Court for letting gays marry. I think Mike Malloy would call Assemblyman Merkt a member of the flying monkey right.

In a UPI article: Merkt says:

Merkt described his proposal as a line in the sand.

Well, isn't that just precious? I wonder if Dana Wefer would consider running against this guy.
