Well maybe, but a little Gay Bashing helps...and the Jesus Talk doesn't hurt either.
As to the virtues of the lower middle class, I would note that they are also the ones who readily joined the Nazi Party in Germany back in the 1930's.
And to the extent that Republican elites have been playing to the "dark side" of the lower middle class, they are playing with fire.....
As to the social "beliefs" of these poor Republicans....also remember that they were coming off of eight years of CLINTON PROSPERITY and are only now realizing that the Republican economic agenda does not benefit their long term interests....by 2006/08 these Jesus Republicans should be ready to "go back" to the Progressive Agenda.
JOBS, HEALTH CARE AND IRAQ WILL DO WONDERS FOR DEMOCRATS IN THE COMING MONTHS AND YEARS....AND THOSE ARE ISSUES THAT DUBYA & CO WILL NOT BE ABLE TO STEAL OR SPIN NEXT TIME.
