Lots of Bush's supporters are working class; the ones that go to a Bush rally are the ones who'd repeat the party line. So quotes from attendees at a rally don't really cut it as political analysis. And just because working class people believe something doesn't make it good or right. Members of the American working class believe a boatload of nonsense, but you wouldn't cheer those beliefs on with the credulous enthusiasm you reserve for your Persian Prince.
