The polls tell us that Mr. Romney’s strongest support is among low-income white men and high-income white men. In other words: the pissed-off jobless dude and the boss-man who outsourced his job. Go figure.
Similarly counter-intuitive are the political preferences of Tea Party enthusiasts, who...

On November 19, 2011, Republican candidates Santorum, Bachmann, Paul, Gingrich, Cain and Perry appeared at a forum on moral values in Des Moines, Iowa. Among other statements made that day was one from Newt Gingrich to the Occupy movement: "Go get a job right after you take a bath." ...
