Republicans have been using "cultural issues" to lure workers to vote against their own economic interests. An interesting sub-theme is that the Reps don't mean to win the culture wars - e.g., abortion is still legal - they just want to inflame the masses. In the paper I posted a link to the other day, Ellen Willis challenges this by pointing out that abortion becomes less & less available all the time.
