And they vote. All of them. With a vengeance. With only one thing in mind; who is more likely to preserve my job and increase my benefits.
Don't believe me? A buddy of mine, as hardcore a Republican and evangelical Christian as you will find anywhere, refused to vote for Bobby Jindal because Jindal had the gall to propose "outsourcing" his job (computer tech support for state employees) to a private company to try to save the taxpayers some money. We had a lengthy debate about this last fall.
When it comes to self-preservation, party principles be damned, was basically what his position was.
