I am one of those disgruntled conservatives, more on the social conservative side. And to be blunt I want to see a little more out of the republicans than waving the Democrat/Hillary boogieman around everytime conservatives start demanding a little action from the people they elected.
We busted ass and turned out in droves to get them elected, and watched the corporate conservatives get all their agenda rammed through the house. Yet somehow things we wanted all ended up getting hamstrung, blocked by procedural moves, etc.... funny how that happens.
The way I see it.. the Republicans still have three weeks left in the current session. Lets see them earn my vote.

You want a medal or a chest to put it on? Good grief. Voting is a privilege AND your civic duty.

Most of the social issues have been pushed by liberal judges. Getting conservatives on the court is the most important way to address the issues that 'social' conservatives care about. It is going to be a slow process because, in many instances, the 'social' conservatives represent a minority opinion.

What is your big issue? Do you think the Democrats would do more to advance your cause?
