What percentage of the GOP vote Republican because they are racist or homophobic?

[kentuck]

Personally, from my observations, I think it is somewhere between 25%-50%.

That is why Herman Cain will never be elected President of the United States.

Also, Mitt Romney has shown some inclination that he is not sufficiently anti-gay. With his other problems of inconsistency and his membership in a cult, the odds are that he will not be elected President of the United States either.

More and more, it looks like the nominee for the Republicans will be another moron with a lot of money from Texas. Intelligence is not something that Republicans value very much.

1. Or just do whatever their church tells them to do.

Of course they tell them in indirect ways such as "vote your values."

2. I would say probably close to 100%

they may not acknowledge it, but at some level, conscious or not, they agree with the racism in the GOP.

3. 99.9% IMO.

[Scuba]

4. 50-75%

8. I agree with this estimate. one half to three quarters, likely more toward the high end. nt

5. The vast majority.

Oh, and don't forget because they don't think women should have any privacy rights. Or protection against rape. Or domestic violence.

6. Racist & anti-gay shit gets spewed in the name of the GOP all the time.

People who see it and say nothing are just as to blame as those who spread the filth.

7. 101%

9. Add a few other cults, i.e., religious, gun, and right-to-life et al, to the racist and

homophobic cults, and you've accounted for most of the mindless and hate-filled GOP rank-and-file. :patriot:

11. Yep, that sums up the GOP quite well IMO. If someone gets rights taken away, hurt or

if it creates inequality and/or disfranchises some group, then the GOP is solidly behind it ...

10. Everybody is racist when it's about a group; few are racist when it's about an individual

So Cain has a reasonable shot at the nomination. Intrade has the odds at 8%.
