That's probably what most people say about themselves. Who me? Be fooled! Nah, not a chance! I'm too smart!

Not most, very few people identify themselves as liberal.

Yes, I understand a lot of conservatives hate gays, minorities, women, etc, but is it really worth the economic garbage that goes along with electing republicans?

"Poor" conservatives? I think they are rare. Most "poor" people vote Democrat, the party of handouts.

Many social conservatives are lower/working class.

Good, I am glad that you have other hobbies, because debating your point is not working out well for you. It is not your fault the facts are just in the way.

Clearly you are not telling me that the federal government lies to us when they proclaim nearly a trillion dollars a year goes into handouts..
