Every year someone says that ‘this wasn’t the election to...’ whatever.
Yes it was. They all were. Social/fiscal/whatever issues do not have better times. They are all important all the time.
And those who say they are fiscally con but socially mod/lib are indeed. But they are not ‘conservative’ when the chips are down. That’s easily demonstrated by their dem knack for categorization and (for lack of a better word) class warfare with their own supposed ‘party’. Eventually people have to stop lying to themselves and just be who and what their actions define them as. Whether they want to stay in their self-made political closet or not.
Again...If we cannot win on what we believe in then the country we love is no longer really ‘the country we love’. That’s just the hard reality and no amount of verbal gymnastics changes that.
I will disagree. If the social issues had not been raised, Romney would have had a shot of capturing enough women on fiscal concerns to have had a shot of winning. As it stands, there was no positive motion of women toward Romney than McCain...
