Exactly. The cause of true conservatism is being destroyed by this social/religious conservative nonsense. There are huge numbers of people who actually would like to see much smaller government and much less regulation, who vote Democrat because they are appalled by the “social conservative” stuff, which really just boils down to more government meddling.
Exactly... my friend is a democrat CONSERVATIVE and he can't stand the Republicans because of social conservatives. Another friend is a Democrat and he owns a business and he is a Dem because the Dems are ok with gay people. Are we? No, we aren't.
Sorry, Social Conservatives, but you caused us to lose. We need to rebuild the GOP and we need to bring the REAGAN DEMOCRATS into the Party.
