All of them? Looks more or less like half mabey a little weighted to
the left, but easily explained by the misconceptions and outright lies
we have been fed by a admittedly corrupt and bias main stream media..
When you consider the propoganda shoved down our throats the last
couple of years, the numbers aren't really all that bad. But I am sure
your party of intolerance and hate will dismiss the other half of the
country to suit your own selfish needs...



You are the poster boy for digesting misconceptions and outright lies.

"All" of them? Of course not, but within limitations the percentages in
the new Gallup survey...in all cases, the majority of Americans.

Social conservatism, the crap you claim to believe, is waning, by the
way. Take a look at some of the voting maps...if you know how to do that.
