And, of course, the most important identity group in conservative politics - wealthy white men.

Not quite, that should be wealthy, white, heterosexual, pseudochristian, males under 50.

No I meant under like all the corporate big shots, who do practically nothing, bring in millions and pay very little if any taxes.

Re: "Leftie" logic

Generalization involves taking limited information and applying it to an entire group.

I agree, but the problem is that those who are not on the loony fringe of the left & right, tend to not do much speaking. The moderate left, center and moderate right just don't say much, thus the impression is that the left is communistic, anti religion, anti capitalistic and the right is fascist, fundamentalist and anti socialistic.

Re: "Leftie" logic

Does Obama represent you, as an American liberal? He certainly doesn't represent me. And yet I'm almost certain to vote for him again, simply because the alternatives will represent me less. Is President Obama evil? Am I evil for voting for him, even if I don't support many of his policies? Am I significantly different from a self-identified conservative who had similar feelings about Bush?

I agree for the same reasons. Elections are normally the lessor of 2 evils.
