Huck-a-Buck Demographics

The white shoe Republican cognoscenti are going nuts over Huck-a-Buck. I don't think most of them even know anyone like him. Huck-a-Bucks don't belong to country clubs. They do belong to private clubs in small towns, but mostly the ones named after wild animals like moose and elk.

The core of Huck-a-Buck's support comes from evangelicals and those making less than $50,000 a year. I think that may be the same group. You can't be an evangelical unless you make less than $50,000 a year. Oh, and a high percentage have GEDs. No skull and bones here unless you go behind the barn and dig up that calf that died of scowers a couple of years ago.

Funny thing about that demographic. It used to vote Democratic. Then, with the Republican southern strategy they shifted parties and embraced Ronald Reagan. They never understood that they were voting against their self-interest. They still don't understand that.

It is the sons and daughters of Huck-a-Buck's demographic who are dying in Iraq and Afghanistan. No white shoe kids are dying for the neo-con support of Israel (the elephant in the Washington, DC living room), cheap oil, or the illusion of a democratic process in a tribal region.
