The data in the table above comes from a recent opinion poll among self-identified Republicans in the US.
Some time ago I wrote:
At some point over the past decade, the New Barbarians took over the GOP and turned it into an ecosystem that breeds ideologically brainwashed, bullying mutants and takes out the oxygen of those with a rational, critical mind.
We are starting to see those mutant life forms multiplying in the ecosystem of the Republican Party and gradually submerging the GOP through the power of their sheer number.
Click here for the full data of the poll, as it has some other interesting items - for instance, Palin and Cheney come respectively number one (by far) and number three (very close to second) in the respondents' preferences for the Republican presidential candidate in 2012. And if you have time take a look at Nate Silver's cogent analysis of what may be the implications for GOP's electoral politics of the unusually uniform views among the Republican base.
But here is my point: the GOP is getting caught into a chain of events that spells its doom.
