Only 12% of my fellow citizens believe me to be a racist, according to polling:

Twelve percent (12%) of voters nationwide believe that most opponents of President Obama’s health care reform plan are racist. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 67% of voters disagree, and 21% are not sure.

I’d like to see the numbers lower, of course. And you 21% that “are not sure” disgust me. Get off the fence, losers.

Eighty-eight percent (88%) of Republicans reject the notion that most of the opponents are racist. So do 78% of voters not affiliated with either major party. However, just 39% of Democrats share that view. Twenty-two percent (22%) of those in the president’s party say that most of the opposition to his plan comes from racists, and another 39% are not sure.

I’d also like to find the 12% of Republicans that didn’t flat out reject the question, and figure out what their problem is.

Maybe tomorrow they can poll members of congress, people who work in the White House, and members of the media, and ask them the same question.
