they just don't know it. We find it funny so many conservatives talk about things from a liberal perspective but don't see it as liberalism. They attribute qualities that aren't actually in the Republican party and find defects that don't exist in the Democratic party. If you've talked to a lot of Republican voters it isn't uncommon. I think the key is usually there is ONE issue that holds them back and then they fill in the world they want around that idea. A big one is obviously R A C E.
