Ignorant or stupid?
Why do wingnuts moan that the Dems get backing from unions and lawyer groups while ignoring the Repug's big corporate backing?

:shrug:

One theory...they watch or listen to the MSM and get one side mostly and they think with shrub's phony down-home accent that he is for the 'little guy'.
I had a co-worker once who was a libertarian/far-right kook. He thought that the big corporate interests would not harm the working man. He actually 'trusted' them explicitly. OMG!

2. Quick delineations:
Ignorance: You do it because you don't know better.

Stupidity: You know it's wrong and you do it anyway.

4. Yep
Ignorance can be worked with provided an open mind exists.
Stupidity is a lot tougher.
