I'm not a Republican, but I always thought the same thing about Democrats. Conservative middle American union workers vote Democratic as if it were a birthright. Same story in the South. Robert Byrd was a KKK member and just couldn't see himself in Lincoln's party. Explain the voting patterns of the devout Catholic block in New England. Ted Kennedy? WTF?

I'm not suggesting that Republicans are great independent thinkers, they get where they are just like the Democrats.
