2. If you haven't already, you might want to read
Thomas Frank's book, "What's the Matter With Kansas? How the conservatives won the heart of America" It goes into the whole "voting against your own interests" in depth. j

For many, my extended family included, they cannot fathom voting for a Democrat because it would be "immoral" -- that is, they've have it stuffed inside their heads that Democrat="no values"

You see, it isn't even that Democrats hold the "wrong" values. They believe that Democrats hold no values at all. It would be like voting into a void. It would be even greater than a sin.
