Family values, indeed

Admittedly, the poll was conducted by the liberal-leaning pollster, Public Policy Polling, but that doesn't necessarily mean it is wrong. The questions and the answers for all voters:

1. Do you support building a mosque two blocks from Ground Zero?

Favor: 32% Opposed: 55%

2. Do you support building a strip club two blocks from Ground Zero?
Favor: 28% Opposed: 54%

But the breakdown in voter identification is interesting:

Republicans: 4% favor the mosque; 21% favor a strip club

Democrats: 49% favor the mosque; 33% favor a strip club

Independents: 34% favor the mosque; 28% favor a strip club

Republicans - the party that trumpets "family values" would rather have a strip club than a mosque. True, they would rather have neither, along with everyone else.

But the most striking difference is in the 4% of Republicans vs 49% of Democrats who favor building a mosque.
