“Conservative on issues” + “voted for Obama” = “bipolar electorate”
It is just party and race politics. How many of us live in a town with high taxes and corrupt democrats and the people do their thing and are sure to vote dem every year. It’s not bipolar they just don’t really care.
A person can call himself conservative but have a completely different idea of what that is than what we think of as being conservative. Some people might think they are conservative if they wear plain clothing and don’t have a nose ring. Conservatism is in the eye of the beholder.
