Oh, I know... I personally know several people who vote that way, and that won't change anytime soon. I don't even bother talking with them about politics, because there is just no way to even approach the subject rationally. But now I'm starting to feel that way about a lot of other voters as well... for the same reasons that you give about why people are voting with their "gut."

Sincerely: I would like to know if/when I am truly berating someone here. Most of what I say is couched in a great deal of sarcasm, but I do not intend to insult anyone personally here. If you have perceived me doing that, feel free to call me out, truly. I used to try and engage people in a "thoughtful" manner, only to have most of it flung back in my face with a surprising amount of vitriol. Have you read the Palin thread in the LL?
