Why does the blue-collar white male still support Bush?"They felt that everyone else -- women, kids, minorities -- were all moving up, and they felt like they were moving down. Even the spotted owl seemed like it was on its way up, while he and his job, were on the way down. And he's angry."
-- quote from a lumber-mill worker in Maine, referring to his blue-collar Republican co-workers From Mother Jones; thanks to Serena (and her friend Brian) for the link. This is an interesting look into the motivations behind the somewhat mystifying support of so-called "Nascar dads" for Bush's policies, in spite of their recognition that these policies hold little or no benefit for them and their families.
