46. It's all about hatred or fear of something or someone.
. . . the card of which Repukes have played from the bottom of the deck for the past 28 years. Really, that's the simple answer. Usually, these issues have bupkis to do with actual governing, but for some reason, these Jedi mind tricks fool the weak-minded EVERY time.

With the working class, they again are voting with their hatred of cultural elements that have absolutely NOTHING to do with politics or economics, and they're obsessed with these meaningless elements. Even if it means shooting their own foot - Repukes have placed these wedge issues at the forefront as clever but effective distractions to the real issues and the less intelligent/more irrational members of the working/middle class fall for it hook, line and sinker. This is common when propping up candidates that have zero real accomplishments to praise . . . such as First Term Reagan, Bewsh 1 or Lancelot Link, par example.

I think it was said on another thread - they're better at selling bullshit than we are. When you look at their real record, they HAVE to be.
