Yes, this is what the GOP does best - gain support from the very people they care nothing about. They use the Bible and the 2nd amendment as giant nets to scoop up anyone not really paying attention.
To the people of Wisconsin (and America after the 2010 elections) I would say - You have my sympathy, but what did you expect after electing Republicans? If you learn only one thing about politics, learn this: The Republicans are the party of Big Business. They care nothing about the daily struggles of the 98% of us making less than $500K per year.
I wish them the best of luck with the forthcoming recall petitions. I hope that movement continues to gain momentum.
And I hope the rest of America is paying attention.
