Re: 2012 Presidential Election Thread
From my point of view, all of those middle or lower class people who vote for the kind of republican you're talking about have a few things going on in there head:
1. They're voting because they view the Republican party as the Christian party, mostly due to the gay marriage issue.
2. They support giving benefits to the wealthy because they like the idea of the American dream, and they think they could be that wealthy one day.
3. They hate "entitlement" programs. They feel that giving a "handout" to someone is pretty much the most evil thing you can do.
edit:
Also, in my area, and in West Virginia and other south-east states, coal is a huge issue. People blame Obama for coal's decline. They see coal as a lifestyle because it's something their family has been doing for a long time.
