Default far right really IS paranoid

surprisingly enough there's proof the far right is lunatic paranoid:

http://www.democracycorps.com/focus/...ction=Analysis

The self-identifying conservative Republicans who make up the base of
the Republican Party stand a world apart from the rest of America,
according to focus groups conducted by Democracy Corps. These base
Republican voters dislike Barack Obama to be sure – which is not very
surprising as base Democrats had few positive things to say about
George Bush – but these voters identify themselves as part of a
‘mocked’ minority with a set of shared beliefs and knowledge, and
commitment to oppose Obama that sets them apart from the majority in
the country. They believe Obama is ruthlessly advancing a ‘secret
agenda’ to bankrupt the United States and dramatically expand
government control to an extent nothing short of socialism. While
these voters are disdainful of a Republican Party they view to have
failed in its mission, they overwhelmingly view a successful Obama
presidency as the destruction of this country’s founding principles
and are committed to seeing the president fail.
