If something leads to big government then it is not social conservatism.
I didn't know that about campaign finance reform, that is dissapointing. However, I believe Sanford voted for nearly every tax cut while in the house. Also, when he ran for governor he was accused of trying to abolish the department of education while he was in the house: http://64.233.187.104/search?q=cache:OX7RxdiS4R8J:www.med.sc.edu:1081/hodgesone.htm+%22mark+sanford%22+%22abolish+the+department%22&hl=en
Sanford would be an outstanding Pres.
I think both Sanford and Pence are good, the Club For Growth loves both of them and has opinined about both of them for Pres. I think they may be leaning towards Pence now.
"If something leads to big government then it is not social conservatism."
k, then the Constitutional Marriage amendment, war on drugs, doctor assisted sucide, and faith based federal funding all don't fall under 'social conservatism'. I think some might disagree with you.
