Perhaps because FReepers care more about our nation's defense and limiting the size of government than about social issues a President has little control over and that Congressional Republicans did nothing to advance?
Duncan Hunter is pro-defense and for reducting the size of government. That he is a social conservative should only make him more appealing. So why?

Congress did little to advance the idea of limited government, either, as George Will pointed out in an essay in which he primly pronounced Goldwaterism dead on the operating-room table.
The MSM is promoting Giuliani, Mitt Romney, and McCain because they think they could get social legislation passed (gun control, socialized medicine) that would kill off what's left of conservativism.
A liberal like Rudy Giuliani who understands defense and how to administer is called a 50's liberal, or sometimes is a.k.a. a NeoCon. He isn't a conservative of any description.
A liberal in charge of the GOP allows the MSM to split the conservatives off from the RNC and give them a Democrat in the White House. That's the play that is being made now.
Don't speak for the majority of us here on FR, goofball (look at the results of the previous FR poll on this matter).
If that's ALL we care about (how can a true conservative just flippantly set aside two of our most important issues, the protection of innocent LIFE, and our 2nd Amendment RIGHTS), we might as well turn Dem and vote for men like Tester and Webb.
It HAS always been, and SHOULD always BE, about MORE than just security and fiscal matters.
Otherwise, we are no better than our DOMESTIC ENEMIES, the liberal demonRATS, and I would submit (and have submitted on MANY occasions)...
The liberal RINOs amongst us.
