Public Policy Polling has surveyed Republican primary voters in Alabama and Mississippi. You can skip the horserace questions in the beginning and go straight to pages 3 and 4 where you will find:
45% say Barack Obama is a Muslim, 12% say he is Christian, and 41% are not sure.
21% say that interracial marriage should be illegal, and 12% are not sure.
26% say they believe in evolution, 60% say they do not, and 13% are not sure.
I must admit this forces me to struggle with the problem of representational government. There is no political communication or educational or organizing strategy that can result in these people understanding and voting in their own best interest. They are a lost cause. What is to be done?
Note: I posted this before Jed Lewison did at Kos, so there.
Discussion of public health and health care policy, from a public health perspective. The U.S. spends more on medical services than any other country, but we get less for it. Major reasons include lack of universal access, unequal treatment, and underinvestment in public health and social welfare. We will critically examine the economics, politics and sociology of health and illness in the U.S. and the world.
