imho, most poor conservatives (and you can flame me for this, but I believe it's true) are conservatives for racial reasons. They don't like black people. Or jews, or hispanics, and they eventually just swallow the whole reactionary pill over time. They don't realize that the real power in the reactionary crowd doesn't give a fuck if you're black, white or lime green. If you're poor, you're going under their heel, and they're tickled pink to add ANYONE'S vote to the cause.
Anyone remember David Duke?
