Republicans vote on a package of issues? C'mon, the whole religious right votes on nothing to do with defense or lower taxes. And most fiscal conservative think this President is out of his mind when it comes to fiscal sanity--they just haven't been pushed far enough yet.There are as many people who vote Republican because Republicans are seen as pro-life as people who vote Democrat because Democrats are seens (sic) as either pro-choice or pro-middle class.
I agree with the comment about the fiscal conservatism displayed by this administration, however Democrats are seen as pro-abortion but not pro-middle class. The results of the last election show clearly how the middle class of the US support Republicans in greater numbers than the donkeys. The majority of middle class folks who vote Democrat do so only because they are pushed by their respective unions, not out of any agreement with abortion, quotas or environmental concerns.
K also takes me to task with another post. My response is in the comments section. BTW, note she didn't comment on the despicable stench arising from her alma mater.

I think you are way off here. The majority of people who vote Democrat do so I think out of a feeling that the 'republicans have never done anything for them'. I can only speak from experience and I know my entire extended family and friends vote Democrat for mainly that reason. Most are pro-choice and I would say 'somewhat' socially liberally, though not as much as myself, and definitely informed voters. The only union member? My father, who voted for Bush the 2nd (but not the first time). I watch trends, but where I get my real knowledge is through family and friends. Almost exclusively middle class and as a whole, fairly well informed. They are concerned for the environment (two of us are in the business), they are pro-choice (one isn't), male, female, married, single, gay, straight--a pretty good sampling. There is no way you can say that of all the millions of people who voted for Kerry, they were all pushed by their unions. Believe me when I tell you I can see what most people don't like (and myself) about the Democrats (I am NOT a Democrat), you need to take a hard look at what is NOT to like about the Republicans and at least be honest with yourself.
PS...I have commented on the FDU/Pluss situation, check out the blog.
