Calling people names does not do anything to help your case. It was the votes of the blue collar workers that gave Reagan the victory in 80, it was also their votes that allowed the GOP to take congress in 94. The biggest reason why Bush is now stuck in the mid 40s is most polls is because of a large loss of support among working class white males. Like it or not, the reality the likes of Limbaugh wants to paint does not exist.

The Reagan thing was 25 years ago. What have they done since then? And have you now or ever lived there? I know, I lived there. They are morons.

I don't think so. In 1980, 50% of the country roughly was registered Democrat. Now its around 30%.

Wo where these people who "dropped out"? Reagan Democrats, who became Republicans or Independents.

There is no big pool of Reagan Democrats anymore. They don't exist in anything but the most isolated pockets, and many are now retired and out of "the system".
