“If that were to be true, then what you are saying is that Conservatives of the so called “true” type, did not vote or voted for democrats to punish the party?”
Answer is “stayed at home”
You forgot pro amnesty which I believe hurt us more than the war.
You don't seem to understand, that these issues are not traditional conservative issues. They are dangerous and often cut both ways, and we usually don't run on divisive social crap in National elections. For the first time in recent memory, these issue even lost locally. In Arizona....East coast and even Missouri. It's been over hyped, over done, and over the top! This stuff loses voters in a national election, not the other way around.
But hell no! You guys want more of it, more often and louder!
Go ahead, make Hillary's day!
