Sandy, I think you'd be hammered for this post, but allow me to commend you for posting it. Essentially, what I think you're saying is that the GOP is driven by bigotry, greed, violence, and jingoism, and a moral fiber driven by greed, bigotry and violence and jingoism. Hmmmmm......................
As hard as I try, I can never, ever fathom why people make such choices, or why they cannot see past these characteristics. Mostly, and especially for those without substantial incomes, I'd venture that their decisions are also predicated on ignorance, low intellect, and lack of adequate education to grasp concepts. Those with money, and likely of a more educated ilk, seem to be driven mostly by the tax breaks, ie greed, that they think they are benefitting from, even if such tax breaks result in loss of government services on a local level and increased local taxes. Into the front pocket, and out the back pocket.
Let the games begin.......................
