Truly baffling Times/CBS poll result

[Baitball Blogger]

15. I've met some Republican types who have made it big and today call themselves conservatives.

They live near the beach in California while they have property sitting in New York City. They forward emails decrying how many people are on the government payroll, and their relationship with their children and other relatives really stinks.

The thing is, they don't know how much they're detested, even by the other Republican relatives. And I'm guessing they also don't think they're doing anything wrong by cutting off their own children financially and saying, "I want to spend it all before I die and leave nothing to anybody."

And spend it they try to do. Their guest bedrooms have a world map where they've been to around the world and the pins are so thick that in some places all you can see is blue for the ocean water.

So the 28% are people like this, or people who don't have the money, but feel the same way. "I want to spend it all before I die and leave nothing to anybody."
