Something I was previously unaware of while the presidential campaign was going on but recently heard via this video: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/07/29/gop-rep-tom-davis-warns-r_n_247482.html (also if anyone can figure out how to post these embeds here please share)

is that there is a big difference in the education levelsof the people who voted in this past election.  My question is why do uneducated folks find the ideals of the republican party so appealing?  

 My best guess?  Greed and fear are big motivators. What do you think?
