The issues that the GOP uses to get their voters to the voting booth, are issues that go against the spirit of freedom and equality, and portray a very narrow, paternalistic, superstitious, outmoded worldview. Few of them are actually materially threatened by lack of prayer in school, gays marrying, abortion rights, etc., but they vote this, because of idealism. Then, on the other hand, GM closes a bunch of plants, they're STILL paying the fed almost as much as they ever were, their wages are stagnant, the administration is making a mockery out of the country -- and all they've done is trade one form of authoritarianism for another -- so all the rhetoric about freedom and liberty is T-O-T-A-L bullshit. Then, on top of that, the power elite in the GOP are more interested in using their own seething hate and fear to divide them, and marginalize their neighbors, than they actually are getting the country to conform to these so-called "core 'murican values."

The only value is "money," and the GOP base are money's bitches.
