There’s a reason social conservatives can’t find “anyone they like” out of the current crop - I’m one of them. In reality, in the end, I’ll hold my nose and vote for any of the current crop, as will most social conservatives. That said, even though any of the current crop outweigh any liberal democrat doesn’t mean I have to be excited about the current choices.

I agree with Dobson about Fred’s lack of energy and I’m examining his positions closely as we head towards a collision with Hillary. Energy aside, what concerns me perhaps more is what appears to be the common conclusion of the top-tiered candidates - the status quo just needs a little republican tweaking.

Where’s the visionary leader that will cut the public’s near 9 TRILLION dollar debt? We’re is the visionary that will reduce our 3TRILLION dollar budget and bring spending back to pre-1930’s percent of GDP? Where’s the clarion trumpets sounding about abortion? Which candidate has said they’ll stop the government from reaching into my back pocket, taking out my wallet and removing my and my family’s hard earned money. Where’s the candidate that will take on the teachers unions and call public education what it really is, generally useless.

I’m not a republican, I’m a conservative - as is Dobson. Just because some don’t like the messenger, perhaps we should at least look at the message. Don’t forget, Fred did support McCain-Feingold.

You're living in a fantasy world if you think that is true of social conservatives when it comes to someone like Giuliani.

Very well said. We need someone who wants to make sweeping changes to the way things are done.

If these are your major concerns the only candidate that would be 100% on these issues is Ron Paul.
