They pretty much dumped the repubs for the most part after hurricane Katrina. Now, they vote almost straight Dem.

Thing is, they won't give up being republicans. I think they hope the party they know will come back. I don't know what to tell them since it was never really a party that supported their best interests. They're voting Dem.

The former don't care about anybody but themselves, and can never have enough. The latter are proud of their stupidity, are easily manipulated, and vote for the very people who condemn them to life in the trailer park ("What's The Matter With Kansas?&quot .

All conservatives are not dumb people, but most dumb people are conservatives. That's why talking points (Flip/Flop, Teleprompter, Messiah, Gore Invented The Internet) work so well on that side. They're dumb sheep.
