The Republican Party is one big government check and yet they want small gubbermint.

Heres a link how a good part of the Tea Party types voted againt their interests.

Many of the things you mentioned here are earned benefits and military, making this a little disingenuous.

Spoken like a true FOX News watcher.

What else would I expect?

They do believe in the fairy tales on FOX News, probably a majority of the viewers do. These are not astute political watchers with the ability to discern fact from fiction. If they were, they would not be watching that crap.
Why are you so obsessed with Fox news?

Since I don't watch Fox News... You're wrong, as usual.

I don't watch TV much at all.

Again... You don't know squat. You think you do... but it's all fiction. Stuff you made up in your head, or someone else made up and told you to think.

Because it is the main driver of the Dumbing Down of America.

And it works for the Republican Party.

To be fair MSNBC seems to be equally bad, but on the opposite side.
BBC, Al Jazeera America. They aren't perfect, but I'll trust what they report before anything I see on fox, CNN, or Msnbc.

RT and Al-Jazeera are all I watch for news if I feel like flipping on the TV. The left seems to be more obsessed with Fox, CNN and MSNBC.

In Tennessee I think it has a lot to do with religion, taxation and gun rights. I personally don't vote for either political crime family because they are the same type of scum. I vote third party in every election just to let them know they haven't fooled me with their B.S.

In 2012 68% of the true believer idiots voted for Romney and the other 31% of the idiots voted for Obama. We had about one percent that didn't fall for the B.S. and lies voting for third party candidates.

Cities = bad
Rural living = good

Yeah, forget the fact that urbanized cities are the foundations of civilization and are cultivation spots for all the advances in technology we have made. Rural farmland exists to support cities.
