CNN poll: Effort to slime Palin/change gun laws total fail
Posted: Tue Jan 18, 2011 6:12 amWell epic backfire, nothing like trying to throw a bucket of blood on your opposition, or enemies as Obama might say, and have it end up all over yourself. I mean if you're going to blood libel, hopefully you get some traction out of it. Apparently not this time.

Most Americans have not changed their views on gun control following the shooting nine days ago in Tucson, according to a CNN/Opinion Research poll out Monday.
Sixty-nine percent of those polled said the shooting that left six dead and injured 13, including Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.), has not changed their opinion on gun control. Twenty-eight percent said the shooting has made them “more likely” to support stricter controls on the sale of firearms, while 3 percent were “less likely.”
Now to avoid confusion, I would bet dollars that the 28% supported it already and this poll wasn't done very well.
Former Alaska GOP Gov. Sarah Palin was widely vindicated in the poll for posting a map on her PAC’s website last year showing cross-hairs on Gifford’s district, as well as the district of 19 other members. Some on the left pointed the finger at Palin following the shooting, but only 35 percent of those polled said Palin deserves any blame. Fifty-nine percent said she deserves little or no blame.
I guess that settles that. I guess the debate is over, as Al Gore would say.
The leading target for blame in the poll was resources available to deal with mental illness. Seventy percent of respondents said that issue deserves blame for the incident.
Now this is a real problem. Which party just got done spending oceans of new dollars and failed to provide any "resources" to prevent murder? Ouch.
