Quote:Why do my sickly grandparents who can hardly afford healthcare, let alone the cost of living, always vote straight Republican in every election?
This is a great question about much of the South and Midwest... why do they vote against their economic intrests? One of the best answers that I've seen is that they are voting morality over pocketbook -- their hatred of abortion and gay rights overrides economic sense, sadly.
