Teh Crazy

Huffingtonpost:  How badly are Republican voters taking the results of the 2012 election? Pretty badly, according to the latest numbers from Public Policy Polling. Fully one-quarter of the Republicans they surveyed want their state to secede from the Union, "compared to 56% who want to stay and 19% who aren't sure." That's a real blow for patriotism, and it also indicates that the word hasn't gotten out about the GOP's successes in redistricting. But if there's one part of the poll that sums up what a terrible place Republican voters are in, emotionally, it's this:

49% of GOP voters nationally say they think that ACORN stole the election for President Obama. We found that 52% of Republicans thought that ACORN stole the 2008 election for Obama, so this is a modest decline, but perhaps smaller than might have been expected given that ACORN doesn't exist anymore.

Great, more than half of the Republicans believe an organization that doesn't exist stole the election for Obama.  Of course nearly a quarter of Republicans think Obama just might be the anti-Christ.  And last, we haven't seen any polling but we're pretty sure a majority of Republicans think the earth is only 5000 years old and cavemen used to ride around on the backs of dinosaurs. This is the base of the GOP.  If you're a reasonable person and you vote Republican, please just know you're voting the same as bunch of lunatics.  And we're going to go out on a limb here and say that's probably not a good idea.
