It sounds as if the administration has a tin ear when it comes to listening to social consevratives and there can really be only one reason for that. They don't really believe in what we stand for.

They would believe in what we stand for if it would get them votes, but let's face it, many of the issues you and I believe in are too divisive or seen negatively by many who are in the middle.

I'm not saying it's right, it's just the reality. The GOP can't afford to do anything that could cost them votes in key segments.

I don't buy it...they haven't tried selling conservatism for a long time. It can be done; Reagan proved that.

I think it's because a large number of the party leaders don't really like it all that much.
