The 30% of right wing nuts who feel that armed rebellion is a solution..

[busterbrown]

Are so fucking angry with themselves and their pitiful lives, that they are willing to say anything which will make them feel like they are important and relevant.. How sad is that?
The truth of the matter is that they have no freaking idea of what they are so angry about...

I guess its the fact that they need their guns in order to protect their grandchildren from the horrors of future debt...

1. As I recall in that poll

18% of Democrats felt the same way.

[CJCRANE]

2. IIRC it was 44% of Repubs

which is nearly three times as many.

But no one would even have asked this question during the Bush era, or if they did they would catch hell for it.

5. Yep, for lots of reasons.

Dems are unlikely to admit to expecting an armed anything, while Repubs spout that shit without meaning it.

[MNBrewer]

3. perhaps for different reasons?

[rrneck]

4. The most intelligent post I've seen here since forever.

Yep, for different reasons. Polls like that are almost worthless for that reason. The most important part of it is that about one third of voters thought that. But people all along the political spectrum might believe it for a million different reasons, depending on the politics of the moment.

6. white men have been on a 150 year losing streak

Enough is enough with this democracy crap!

7. The "armed rebellion" nutjobs......

.... are most likely the paranoid members of the "my gun from my cold dead hand" crowd.

8. "Armed rebellion" and then, what?

[VOX]

10. Precisely. The "armed rebellion" crew would screw up a paintball game.

They are woefully ignorant about how the world really works.

[Berlum]

9. Tho they know it not, they are angry that they have been SUCKERED for so long by puppet masters

The Republican ELITE who jerk the strings get all the gravy, while the ANGRY, FEARFUL = FreeperBaggers get suckered into voting against their own interests time after time, and never get a clue. Instead they just slip deeper and deeper into the realm of fear and hate as their strings get pulled.

Not much fun being a RepubliSucker.
