Instead of getting off into philosophy and minutia, why not keep it in the real world, politics and elections.

Well, that's problematic. Because in 'my real world' there are very few politicians that I trust to promote liberty. In fact, with very little exception, politicians are more likely to try and meddle and reduce liberty through their legislative actions. Therefefore, I view politicians as the minutia and the philosophical/ideological as what should be favore in 'the real world'.

And those groups you mention in your quoted material: how likely is it that they support economic liberty? Or is it safe to say that those groups, in general, favor collective, redistributionary policies?

In 2004 56% of Protestant Hispanics voted republican. The non socons of the white population voted democrat of course.
