re: #295 drcordell

I’m not sure you’re following here. The entire point is that the low-information GOP voters don’t believe they are actually voting against their own interests. They believe they actually are benefiting themselves, because they do not have the right information. To use Obdicuts example, someone who voted against Obama because they believed their taxes would rise, when in fact they dropped. They may have voted against higher taxes in “principle.” Except in reality, they actually voted for higher taxes.

This is you presuming to know why poor GOP voters chose in the manner that they did. If only they understood better, they’d have voted differently. That may very well be true of some. As a blanket statement, it is an arrogant and elitist thing to say.
