good profile of an example of the new most powerful constituency
in the country right here.

They are precisely the people the Bush campaign built its reelection strategy on -- people who would put faith-based moral values above every other consideration when it came time to vote, including the war in Iraq, terrorism, the economy and, in the Leslies' case, a life that has been in financial peril since Sept. 11, 2001.

Bravo. Let's forget about pragmatic reasons that affect everyone in the country and our relationship with other countries.

America gets what it deserves. They voted Bush, I hope he does a much better job in his second term, but if he runs this country down the drain for 4 more years America should know that they will have put their nations interests behind their own moral and religious ideology.

Speaking of disdain!

Is this yet another thread to label conservatives as incapable of independent thought and unable to parent?

get ready for 4 years of it, they will never open thier minds to another opinion. If they dont agree with it then it MUST be wrong, people who dont agree with them MUST have some sort of problem, thats the only plausible explanantion to a fanatic, the other side must have cheated.

I believe psychologists call it Denial.

Exactly. They'll clutch their homophobic anti-abortion values instead of considering affordable health-care and lower tuitions for their children.

And lets not forget how much safer their children are everyday thanks to the war in Iraq! :roll:

Maybe it's because those in their areas who voted for the Dub are such Morons that they mistakenly believe that everybody who voted for the Dub are Morons;) j/k

When they do this, they shouldn't drag everybody down with them. That's something they should do on their own time.

I think these people, work wise, are exactly the type of people this country should have. If you get screwed over in your job, you shouldn't just sit and bitch how the president lost you your job. Even if his policies had a hand in it, you should still try to find another way to survive, and that father's persistence at getting a job is something that should be lauded. Rather than sit in line collecting unemployment he is trying to make the most of his situation and i'm sure over time their situation will better.

True that voting for for Kerry would probably slightly better thir situation in a few years, but if they work had enough it'll get better anyways, regardless of the president.

The only thing I may not necessarily approve of is the homeschooled education because people don't know everything and I'm sure the daughter is probably getting a very religious oriented eduation that might preach some intolerance. But at the same note trusting it to public schools doesn't always work b/c they can be wrong. In the end i think a parent should send their kid to school but still watch over what is being taught and object if need be (for both good and bad. My mom's friend objected when her kids 7th grade teacher taught that no one in palestine at all when Jews moved in and then Arabs began to complain. The principle told them to be queit and they went to the super intendent he investigated and now that taecher nor the principal work there anymore)

Either way, what you guys are ridiculing, I see a family that economically is VERY persistant and if anything these are the kinds of people that should be offered assitance because they have shown that if they are kicked back they will still push foreward--> better than people I know who get unemployed and sit back on unemployment abusing it (that is not to say that in most cases unemployment is abused~ i know many people who used it correctly)

I guess your disdain comes at them just because they are Evangelical Republicans~
