Ouch…. That hurts. BTW, where did you go to college, since you did sort of bring up this up?[/quote]
College does not make upbringing. The parents and the grandparents do.
As I said, I’m still waiting for some rational reason why working-class right-wing voters vote the way they do. I’m talking about the Palin/O’Donnell supporters who show up at rallies wearing sweats and pajamas.[/quote]
Hmmm. Interesting…Ok, if you want to go there…then let’s talk about parents and upbringing… What do your parents do and where did you grow up, demographicswise (darn, I keep inventing new words)? I really find it interesting about your obsession with “class” and “intelligencia/elitism”. Hopefully this doesn’t end up being a my daddy’s better than your daddy’s sort of discussion. But if you want to go there..

One note about a pet peeve I have…”need” is such an overused word. I need air. I do not need medical insurance, or a free bus pass. Those are things I steal…[/quote]That’s the difference between you and me.
When someone is sick that person needs medical insurance.
When a person must get to work to a job that doesn’t pay much and is located where real estate is expensive, that person does need a bus pass.

[/quote]We have to understand class and sociology to understand the motivation of voters. Are the motivations rational or emotional?
I understand the motivations of working-class liberals who want more social benefits.
I’m still trying to grasp the rational motivations of working-class conservatives.
The reality is that without the working-class conservative votes, the right would never win.
