I like Socons. I, personally, am not afraid of a Socon governing majority.

Most of us agree. However, dare I say the problem with today's GOP is leaders like Brownback, and yes, W, have decided that being pro-life and anti gay marriage is ALL you need, while still selling us down the river as far as immigration and adding more and more Socialism. That is what has driven people away from the party - those who aren't hostile to socon values, but really focus more on fiscal and economic issues, things which the GOP has neglected.

You're right. This kind of behavior is driving soc-cons away as well.

Well thats me....however neglected is too kind of a word.

Either out of laziness or lack of interest they punted many important conservative issues.
