That completely flies under the radar of most flag waving 
blue-collar and middle class white-collar conservative voters
(I think they're calling them "NASCAR Dads" these days). 

They don't have a clue about the disservice they are doing 
themselves, and most Americans, by voting Republican. All
they can see is the smoke-and-mirrors of the war machine and
the religion-based pseudo morality plays. Of course, most of
them aren't very deep thinkers, so maybe ignorance really is 
bliss after all.
