Social issues are intertwined with fiscal and national security issues.

Look what's happening to the military, with the homosexuals and transgendered crap.

Diseases spread by promiscuous homosexuals is a public safety issue. That means more taxpayer dollars is spent on AIDS and other diseases than money for Veterans.

Any politician who says we need to ignore the social issues isn't getting my vote.

Yes, they are intertwined. And America is losing ground on all of them One would think gay marriage would have been a place to make a stand, but the nation has moved on, and there are precious few conservatives willing to buck the tide. Some admit it, most try hand waving.

Which candidate will come out against gay marriage. I would not expect Rand Paul to be that candidate, he’s never presented himself as the ultimate red-blooded conservative, that’s not the Paul brand. But what about Ted Cruz — the most he will do is say “let the states decide” which is absurd when the Supreme Court and Federal Courts are deciding for everyone — and also, to point out the obvious iT’S A COMPLETE DODGE.

Ok, Ted, you live in a State, Texas I believe. Do you support gay marriage in Texas? If imposed by courts? If passed by legislature? If created by voter initiative? Or, are you actually opposed to it (and willing to stand up to the gay mafia).

I’m picking on Ted but this pretty much goes for all of the candidates except possibly Santorum on social issues. At most they will pronounce some perfectly crafted statement soundbite, and hope to move on to the better issues.

So, while I agree that the issues are all intertwined, I don’t think running on them is going to happen, and that is probably because it’s a sure loser to be branded “intolerant”. Santorum is near dead last, under 2%.
