about the ideology they are supporting. Most have simply swallowed a bunch of nonsense about how the ACLU and the secular-socialist, Communist, Islamic Fundamentalist lesbian liberal school teachers - once lead by Hillary Clinton and now lead by Barack Obama are taking away their guns, killing babies, brain washing their children and will soon confiscate all the Bibles. But behind all this craziness many would be natural working class populist who have simply been bamboozled. I really don't think most working class right-wingers have ANY idea - ANY idea what the policies and the ideology of the Republican Party even are.
