"If they Gerrymander the social conservatives they’ll never have enough votes to defeat the communists.. IOW they’re cutting off their nose to spite their face.

I think it's a good idea for the T Party to stay focused EXCLUSIVELY on fiscal issues.

There are dozens of groups that focus on social issues and they do it well.

I see no reason why there can't be just one, one nationwide organization that focuses on fiscal issues only. I also don't understand, other than fear of marginalization, why most SoCons would not support the T Party being a FISCALLY centered advocacy group.

Why do some see that as a threat?

Because we do not want a group pretending to be for limited government and individual liberty when it would then go on to possible endorse candidates that would support the leftist agenda of denying the people the right to representation on issues such as when life begins, or the definition of marriage, or using the Courts to force people to follow a perverse morality without any say at all, etc…..
