No my FRiend.
My stance is that we are going into the fiscal abyss, and that is the #1 priority.
I care about those other things.
You mock social conservatism and religious freedom and label it "ridiculous", "the gay marriage thing", and unimportant.
The social conservative, and economically conservative, and strong national defense party, cannot ignore any of those issues.
At this moment, trying to change history and win the Catholic vote and holding on to the Evangelical base in 2012, is quite a priority.
