Looking at some blogs and comments thereon it is quite noteworthy that the posters in favour of the Republicans (and more so Tea Party Republicans) seem to have three common threads: -

1. They want more jobs for the lower economic echelons - but they are ignoring two key facts: first that there would be far fewer such jobs absent Obama's rescue package (despite its flaws) and second that a "small government" programme must inevitably more disadvantage such echelons. Their position here is simply economic illiteracy.
2.   They have a range of ideological objectives (things to do for example with religion, an obsolete constitution, "freedom", and patriotism) none of which have any bearing on what is practically needed.
3. The purest fantasy - for example that Obama is a neoMarxist or that his programmes are "socialism".
