Poll: 15% of NC Republicans think Mitt Romney killed Osama bin Laden

[2MuchMark]

Poll:

15% of NC Republicans think Mitt Romney killed Osama bin Laden
56% of NC Republicans "weren't sure" who killed Osama Bin Laden.

Nearly one in six North Carolina Republicans believe GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney was more responsible for Osama bin Laden’s death than the president who ordered the strike, according to a poll released on Monday.

Raleigh-based Public Policy Polling asked 1,081 likely voters a series of questions related to the presidential election over September 7-9. According to the poll’s crosstabs, 15 percent of Republican respondents said that Mitt Romney was more responsible for the al Qaeda leader’s death than President Obama, while 56 percent said they weren’t sure.

Just six percent of overall respondents credited Romney with bin Laden’s death, according to the poll. That doesn’t seem like much, until you remember that the Obama campaign won North Carolina in 2008 by just .3 percent of all votes cast in the state.

crazy americans..

[DamageX]

And 100% of Americans have no fucking clue who REALLY killed Osama bin Laden.

[Freaky_Akula]

Did Obama pull the trigger? No.

[campimp]

makes me proud to live in NC

[wehateporn]

Look what happens when a well-known politician mentions who really killed Bin Laden while he's still officially meant to be alive. R.I.P. Benazir Bhutto

[spazlabz]

to be fair though 15% of any group are bound to be mouth breathing morons... it's just the nature of statistics

We only know what the media and government tells us, and thankfully neither of them lie.

I'm surprised they didn't confuse Obama with Osama ;)

Some light reading.

15% is pretty good when 25% probably can't read.

Regardless of who killed him... it happened on Obama's watch. Something the previous admin couldn't finish the job on... nor cared.

[Harmon]

Romney didn't do it? Then who the fuck did?

[Theo]

It was a well kept secret till now

In other polling news, 23% of Americans asked about the the European Debt Crisis responded "What is a Europe?" and when asked what day it is today 41% responded "Fire Engine!"

Right.

?It?s not worth moving heaven and earth, spending billions of dollars just trying to catch [bin Laden].?

- Mitt Romney, 2007

Obama got the fucking job done.

Mark, I lived in South Carolina from 1992 to 2008. My wife's family lives in the mountains of North Carolina.

Now over at Myrtle Beach and Charleston in South Carolina....and Charlotte and Raleigh in North Carolina, the people are well educated and "modern".

But the rest of the Carolina's is people who live in the mountains and foothills. And they ALL think Obama is a Muslim. They aren't very well educated and don't WANT to be. They are mountain folk and they are different than anybody you know.

In the last couple of decades they have become victims of a meth epidemic in those little country towns in the mountains and many, many of them are on some kind of welfare and/or foodstamps even though they are perfectly fit to work.

They are what we called "white trash" before it became politically incorrect to say such things.

Having been around those kind of people throughout the 1990's and 2000's gave me a real perspective on how federal dollars really do get wasted on people who can and would work if they weren't being given free housing and a check from the govt. every week.

It's disgusting. And even funnier is how those people HATE black people and accuse THEM of being on welfare...all the while getting govt. checks themselves!

I agree that Obama should get the credit for taking out Bin Laden.

But the rest of your statement is stupid.

EVERY act of war that we have ever done...from the war of 1812 to WW1 to Clinton ordering missile strikes around the world to Bush invading Afghanistan and Iraq to Obama ordering the "surge" and killing Bin Laden has ALL been with the President "partaking" (giving the orders, watching, and getting reports...which is what Pres. Obama did)

Wow, talk about a huge blanket statement, not biased at all!

[NYRangers]

Do you give a shit about the same politics and elections in your province? Or is it so boring an uneventful that you constantly have to rattle on about US elections.

I understand they are not as eventful in Montreal because there was no riot and only one shooting but can you do the rest of us a favor and pick a different subject? I understand why you are so left leaning considering the people in Quebec live off the teat of the other provinces and you have a sense of entitlement for doing nothing.

I lived there for 16 years. I know literally thousands of people there. The majority of mountain people are the way I described it. It's a culture that people who may have never lived in that kind of area don't have a clue about.

But it paints ALL of the people in Carolina that way. And they are not. As I said...in the bigger areas of the Carolinas the people are not that way. But the ones who live in trailers and shanty's in the mountains are very, very biased in their opinions and not very worldly in their knowledge

But not "partaking" in person - which was the point I was making. I don't see what you're disagreeing with.

I'm disagreeing COMPLETELY with that.

The only thing different is there is a publicity photo of the President in a room with others monitoring the situation in this case.

Don't you understand that EVERY President did the exact same thing?

That photo was from the "Situation Room" in the WhiteHouse. Same room that Reagan monitored the situation and was in contact with his generals during Grenada and Panama. The same one that George H. Bush ordered the first Gulf war. Same room that Clinton used during his missile strikes in Eastern Europe and Iraq. Same one that George W. Bush used for his wars.

They ALL were personally involved and "partaking" (weird choice of words).
The President has always been the Commander In Chief.

If you think back on your history...Truman PERSONALLY pulled McArthur out of the Korean War because he felt that he was trying to make decisions without his consent.

You really think Obama is the first President who was personally involved in a war?

I think she is offended because she is from NC or SC.

Please enlighten me, oh Great And Wonderful Mr. Know It All. Shit - I'm not American, so I guess I'm not privilege to that information.

So was I from 1992 to 2008. And my wife was born and raised there. Doesn't change the character of a large group of people in the Upstate of South Carolina and the mountains of North Carolina.

Not everyone is like that of course that lives in that area...but a LOT of them are. And that's the kind of people that get you that "15% of NC Republicans" poll answer.

I was actually trying to say that the majority of people in the Carolinas are NOT like that. But that one mountain and foothill region is heavily populated by people who are pretty much white trash living on the govt. dole and addicted to alcohol, cigarettes, and meth.

Anybody who has lived there can attest to that portion of the population in that area.

What do you expect from these fucking redneck states? These are states where the entire female population is Honey Boo Boo. These are states where the men walk around barefoot all day wearing nothing but a pair of overalls, chewing on grass and drinking out of clay jugs labeled "xxx". States where every birth is from statutory rape by a multiple convict or family member, and every IQ 70 baby is considered a huge blessing from Jesus where you wouldn?t even think about terminating the pregnancy.

I once went on a road trip through the US, car broke down on a four lane highway, I think it was Kentucky or Tennessee. This was long before cellphones, not much traffic going by, left my travelling companion by the car to flag down a cop or somebody - I saw a dirt gravel road on the other side of the side barrier of the highway and nothing but trees - so I decided to walk down that road to see what was there - walked a few hundred yards and then the road turned right and upward, walked up the hill and when i made it to the top, my jaw dropped. i don't think i'd ever seen quite what I saw depicted in any movie or on the news - hillbillies, a whole community of them, shacks - this wasn't white trash in trailers or Dukes of Hazzard - this was like a whole hidden or lost civilization i was seeing. there was no city and town nearby I don't think, i wondered where they got their food, did the kids go to school, did they have social security cards, does the government even know they exist.

no, i didn't walk into the community, it didn't look like they had phones or electricity, i was kind of scared - the shacks were in a big circle facing inwards, not sure if i even saw any cars or trucks.
