I read a commentary on the Guardian newspaper's website
(www.guardian.co.uk) a few weeks ago saying something about how the
Republicans are using not-particularly-relevant issues like thier
anti-abortion stance to get people to vote for them, when their
economic policy will actually have a greater impact on the voter.  I
thought this would work well with the WKKK's policy of recruiting
women using a professed itinerary of improving public education into
an organization whose manifest itinerary is to be racist.  The
Guardian's search engine is crap, though, and now I can't find the
article.  Please locate it for me.

Hi statestraveller,

Since I am not completely certain one of these articles is the one you
remember reading, I will post as a clarification. If it is the one, or
otherwise suit your needs, let me know and I will post this as an
answer.

Rainbow,

None of these articles seems to be the right one.  I'm pretty sure it
was a commentary, rather than an actual article, and (paraphrasing)
said that since Americans are mostly single-issue voters, a
mid-westerner will vote in a Republican president based on his stance
on abortion, and not on his economic policy, which will actually end
up hurting the farmer in the long run.  This is why Bush is still
getting votes when his policies are hurting small businesses (the
Guardian is a left-wing paper:-))

Does this help?

That's it.  Please post your answer, and thanks for the research.

Hi statestraveller,

I'm pleased I was able to find the commentary you were seeking. 

Here it is again:

Guardian Unlimited: You don't have to be dumb to vote for Bush 
http://www.guardian.co.uk/Columnists/Column/0,5673,1298909,00.html


As you mentioned, the search facility on the Guardian website is not
as helpful as would normally be desired. Therefore I went through each
of the Guardian's columnists and searched their articles until I
located the correct one.

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask before rating.

Best wishes,
Rainbow

Got the right answer in the end...
