15 Percent of Ohio GOPers Say Romney Deserves Credit for Bin Laden Raid
In what some (one guy on Twitter) have called "a stroke of comic genius," Public Policy Polling decided to ask Ohio Republicans who they thought "deserved more credit for the killing of Osama bin Laden: Barack Obama or Mitt Romney. In what some (my colleague Tim Murphy) have called "the greatest thing ever," a full 15 percent of Ohio Republicans surveyed said Romney deserved more credit than the president. Another 47 percent said they were "unsure." This led to all sorts of funny quips on Twitter:

The secret's out: Seal Team Six referred to Romney and his five sons.
9 Sep 12This is amusing, but no one should take it particularly seriously. Significant percentages of Americans claim to believe all sorts of crazy things, and it's possible that a large percentage of the people who told PPP that Romney deserves credit for the bin Laden raid simply wanted to say eff-you to the president.
The poll didn't offer an option for "the Navy SEALs" or "the troops," who undoubtedly would have blown out Romney and Obama if they were options. The news in this poll—as much as any one poll can be news—is that it found Obama leading Romney by five percentage points in Ohio. (The full poll results are here.) No Republican has ever won the presidency without winning Ohio. Here's a reality check on the state of the presidential race: Nate Silver, the New York Times' polling guru, now gives the president a nearly 80 percent chance of winning reelection.

And we wonder why idiots get elected. Was this in Boehner's District by chance? :)
What?
He's thinking, he is the president.
also all dead now. How convenient! How many times are we going to hear about the
killing of a man who has been dead for years?
He Said Do my bidding. I need you to kill osama
We are "All" Americans who the government works for, so We The People get the credit!!!

How can any true liberal support this disgusting policy?
How?
Please respond. Curious minds want to know.
I support targeting Al Qaeda members because they are inherently combatants. Whether or not this constitutes "extrajudicial assassination" is subject to debate, like the propriety of the initial cruise missile attack against the Baghdad restaurant where Saddam was thought to be in the opening of the Iraq War.
When a host government is unwilling or unable to extradite Al Qaeda members, surgical strikes may be justified.
Really? His mighty brainwaves did it all? How sweet!
What about General Mahmood Achmad from the Pakistani ISI who it has been proven to have sent Mohamed Atta $100,000?
