People love to interpret posts the way they want to on this board. The times have changed, guys. Most white collar suburbanites couldn't careless about gays, drugs, school prayer, etc. Their main issue of concern is economics and inteligent governance. While they don't align perfectly with the campaign platform of Nelson Rockefeller in 1964, they are the children of this voting demographic, and this is 2010, not 1964! It's a matter of generational shift.
P.S. Gravel is a liberal-leaning libertarian on the nolan chart, right cozy next to Jim Jeffords.
Yet they still proudly wear his name.
My advice,
don't call them
Rockefeller Republicans.
