Unless, of course, you're part of that crowd that has been slowly hijacking the party since the 80's to focus on a narrow social agenda that has nothing to do with conservatism, pushing more people out of the party than it is bringing in.
Well said, and completely wrong. Reagan coalition from 1980 thru the Contract With America, holding the conservative coalition together with a conservative agenda. The wheels have since come off as the party moves farther and farther from its platform, and you want to blame socons? LOL
