I think the problem is that at the end of the day issues like the Mosque just aren't that important to a lot of people out side of something to talk about around the water cooler or on a message board, why protest something you just don't care about one way or the other?
People are going to support a party they can identify with and for some that, for better or worse, is the Republican party. The average person just doesn't put that much time and energy into thinking about the latest hot button issue because they either don't have the time or simply don't care, when you're trying to scratch out a living and support a family these issues just stop carrying the weight some like to put behind them. So whats the average right of center minded person supposed to do? Vote Democrat? Throw away a vote on a third party? Of course not, they support the party that gives them the best chance of getting the government and policies they want regardless of weather or not they disagree with them on certain issues.
