Pennsylvania’s Reagan Democrats

During the PA primary we heard a lot about the group called the “Reagan Democrats”, but who are they?  The media tries to define them as white, social conservatives, anti-abortion, pro-gun, non-college blue collar workers.  Now that is a mouthful, but a pretty good description of the voting bloc.  But there is more to it than that fairly simplistic definition.

You may call them anything you desire, but in reality they are closet racists.  They are socially conservs because they believe the the government favors the black man.  All their problems stem from the programs such as affirmative action.

Clinton won these voters almost overwhelmingly, because she spoke their language of government programs have hurt them and that she was gonna change all that.  That she would somehow roll back NAFTA and all would be right with their small minded little world.

Do not hold your breath.  She won their vote for one reason–she is white and she could pander her butt off to them. But sorry folks, come the Fall and the general election, these little people will vote for McCain.  Why?  Repubs speak their language of all problems are the fault of the government and their unfair programs.
