Myself as a case in point. I vote sometimes along guns rights. The republicans are doing nothing as far as gaining back guns right that we once had, but the democrates usually end up taking away more gunsrights. ergo I vote Republican. So, republicans are doing nothing for me and I will vote for them, the democrats end up trying to screw me on gunrights.
This is different from what the source you cited asserts. He plainly asserts the poor blue collared saps are getting screwed left and right by Bush and are too stupid to know any different. So your cases are different. The truth is, the blue collared workers can't tell either way. Some think Bush is helping them, some don't because whatever is happening in the blue collar workers world is not significant to register unanymously among any majority of them as points for or against Bush. This is just a case of this crank sociologist (and maybe you too) trying to invent a case against Bush. See how simple reality is?
