Got it, actually I think in a lot of ways this article is a relabeling of an old demographic. I believe it's:
Reagan Democrat = South Park Republican.
It's conservatism focused on fiscal responsibility and reading the Constitution. Let the morality be handled by the society not the government (a dividing line people on both sides of the isle have trouble seeing). That's something both South Park and Reagan pushed. Before people brand SPR's social liberals they should check out the Boy Scout episode where they defend the Boy Scouts right to kick out gays (not because they're anti-gay, but because they're pro-free association).

Ahhh...I thought Reagan Democrats crossed over in large part because of Reagan's social conservatism: PROLIFE.

Hell, they had the flamingly gay character defend them just in case anyone was obtuse enough to miss the point.
And then there was the NAMBLA episode, where the NAMBLA-leader's "we're victims" speech was punctuated with Stan's "Dude, you have sex with children".
