1. Good information

Let's tell some people who identify themselves as Republicans about that.

2. This is probably not a causal relationship

My guess is that this is not a causal relationship, rather people tend to vote republican/ conservatives politicians into office when they percieve bad times ahead financially or otherwise. At least that is my best guess.

3. of course it's not causal-

it's an association, and one which does not support your supposition that "people tend to vote republican/ conservatives politicians into office when they percieve bad times ahead financially or otherwise."

4. My best guess is that they have been propagandized

by a party that effectively employs bait and switch politics around election time.

5. I hardly think so. When Bush the elder could not come up with

any domestic economic policy, he was booted out. I always figured he was not too enthusiastic about being re-elected since he would have been the prime focus of an Iran/contra investigation.
