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?

Maybe there's an alternative reason. Maybe they are conservative along the "theoconservative" route that JeremySF outlined earlier... This line of conservatism is based on "moralist" grounds--would this necessarily be racist?
