I understand what they are saying.. I rather see Ron Paul for president, he would truly turn america in the right direction ... But I know it would never happen, because the core republican base wouldn't vote for him because he would support gay marriage etc... even tho the most important values are the same: smaller government, reduced spending, more tax cuts, more protection for gun owners(less government) and the overall belief that all matters should be left up to the individual states in the union and not federal... but that doesn't matter to these people, because he will support someones right to get married even though it goes against the bible... the social conservatives would rather have a big spending liberal socialist with an R next to his name... just as long as he bans the fags from marrying.
They don't see the big picture. I understand their concern on social issues, we all have them, but this time around they aren't most peoples top priority.
"the social conservatives would rather have a big spending liberal socialist with an R next to his name"
This is simply untrue .. the big spenders are the MODERATE RINOs who are wobbly on social issues ... social conservatives like Tom Coburn and others are the fiscal conservatives as well.
Dont divide the conservative movement with untrue generalizations like that, please.
Also, I have my issues with Ron Paul (wrt Iraq) but saying he is for gay marriage must be off base.
