Racism is not a factor driving conservative opposition to President Barack Obama, according to the results of focus groups conducted by Democracy Corps, a Democratic organization, released on Friday.

Nevertheless, members of the conservative base of the GOP said they believe the president is pursuing a “secret agenda” designed to push the country toward socialism.

“This is a pretty dominant view in the Republican Party,” said Democratic strategist James Carville, who worked on the report.

Rather than attributing their dislike of Obama to race, participants in the focus groups, which were a project of Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research, said that their disaffection was borne out of a sense that the president was orchestrating an effort to steer the country away from its “founding principles.”

“They want him to fail,” said pollster Stan Greenberg. “It’s not just a political motivation, it’s an ethical imperative given what they think Obama’s goals are.”

1.  The agenda is not secret.

2.  It's not what I think Obama's goals are.  It's what the Left is already doing and has already done to America.

If you want to be a racist just for halloween, you can wear your white sheet, then get a black sheet and wear it like a serape over the white sheet.  Presto!  You're an oreo.  =D

Well, since the study was based on a survey of people presumed to be racists, I expect that any day they'll go back to the results and conclude that survey participants are not only racist, but they're liars about it as well.  ;/

IMO, they know calling all Repubs racists is a losing strategy.  It marginalizes them.  This is just a way of letting their people know it.

The same article basically claims Repubs are out of touch and all independent voters don't mind that Obama is a Socialist.  I get the impression they got all their data by listening to Rush Limbaugh and asking rigged questions meant to give them the answers they wanted.
