Republicans owe much of their electoral success to crossovers from patriotic, socially conservative, working-class voters. Their views on non-economic issues are the reason why. But if this trend continues, it gives the 'Rats an opening. Republicans are already hobbed by an image as the anything-business-wants-to-hell-with-everybody-else party. Issues such as stagnant wages and offshoring could drive these voters away.
The opening is already there and huge! But the Democrats are ever more pigheaded - as abortion, athesim and pederasty are the most important for them.
So when so called Reagan Democrats are given choice between promotion of decadence or undermining their wages they are forced to chose the second as smaller evil.
If ever Democrats returned to the old style New Deal with the concern for working class and morality they would win with the one hand tied behing their back each time like FDR was winning.
Yeah. But actually stating the facts will get you the "he-hates-Bush" award from the 'bots on this thread.
Don't you just love the civil discussions?
