Majority of Republican Voters Believe in Demonic Possession

Oh, those kooky Republicans, what will they think of believe in next?

Via AlterNet:

A staggering 68 percent of registered Republican voters stated that they believe demonic possession is real. Meanwhile, only 48 percent of self-identified Republicans believe in another equally if not more scary natural phenomenon: climate change.

The poll was conducted by Public Policy Polling, touted by NPR as “one of the most prolific polling outfits in the country.”

In a classic example of cognitive dissidence, only 37 percent of registered voters–both Democrat and Republican–believe in ghosts, although 57 percent believe in demonic possession. This raises the question, which was ignored in the presidential debates along with other essential issues like climate change and the educational system, about what the possessing force would actually be. (Perhaps Karl Rove?)

I thought this was Politics, Current News and Events not Gobbledegook laced with inane opinions. How far in the back alleys of the net did you have to travel for that one?

Makes more sense than some of the inane crap I have seen postulated on here.

Especially the trash those libs love to attempt to pass off as fact.

I'm not getting on Lib's or Repubs, they both suck and are destroying this country. I just think it's a stupid topic, not worthy of the screen it was made-up on.

yet worthy enough to respond to.

you got that right.

Republican mind set...from my observation with family and friends of this political group

Hmmm, unevolved enough to not understand their perspective/view/ projections are not universal, shouldn't be universal and are not right for anyone but themselves. Self restrictive and denigrating by choosing to judge all other humans with such high standards which they don't hold themselves. So traditional they limit their intelligence. ... Take, often times, false honor to a ridiculous level...

Want life/justice/morals/etc... to be black and white and they fail themselves wanting this when it is never that cut and dried nor will it ever be.

Basic news feed. Just trying to find interesting stuff to stimulate conversation... I am nothing if not the Devil's Advocate

I'm a republican but all of that stuff is bunk.

Sample size? Polling procedure? demographic? How can we tell even the slightest legitimacy without all this?

Pssssst... people post inane opinions here all the time, along with bs.

oh wow, so true

people have different priorities, different perceptions of reality, and different opinions

its amazing to read some of them, but its also revealing and interesting too,,,,

lol...........you are quite right! But I forgot my hip waders!

1. This is a forum, the expressing of opinions is the main cog of this wheel.

Here is another one of my inane opinions. I am not good with the computer, but I wanted to post the map of the states filing to secede next to the census map of the states with the highest poverty levels, as I think they match up almost perfectly. If they do secede, we will luckily have gotten rid of that major draw on the budget- you know people needing handouts or handups, as the case may be. A friend of mine stated that we would call ourselves the United States of America and the new seceded nation should be called Jesusland.

now thats interesting

so, the people benefitting most from the feds are the ones wanting to break away from them,,,,,,,

Has anyone on here ever participated in one of these so called polls?

I don't think I've ever been asked to take one.

...and I believe Elvis is dead, too.

Jeanniebean said in another thread that they call her all the time. I've gotten calls once or twice about state issues in the past.
