Yeah and I know a devout left wing couple who are religious, racist (use the n word not even jokingly), anti-gay, anti-immigration, and pro-war. Why would a person like that be democrat? Because the husband is in a union, and he thinks the union exists to protect him from the "spics" (his words) that want his job. Republicans are anti-union, so he votes democrat. You can't judge a political movement, left or right, by the hypocrisy of it's members. People tend to be bad at separating their political views from their sense of self-interest. I know several people who hold political views so flagrantly conflicting it's comical. They just can't bring themselves to apply their political ideology when it would screw them over.
