Social conservativism isn’t the problem. The problem is that the Republicans are tied to Wall St. and big business and a lot of Americans have problems with CEOs destroying companies and walking away with millions.

Yes, the Republicans are guilty of this crime. But so are the Democrats. The problem is that the mainstream media in their role as spokespeople for the Democratic Party have instilled in the public’s mind that it is only the Republicans who are beholden to big business.
Just the lopsided campaign contributions from the NY banks and brokerage houses to Obama and the Democrats refute that. But, the American people are easily handed a lie.
In my view it is essential for Republicans to stand up for free enterprise as there isn't a system anywhere that has provided so much benefit to so many. What is tragic is that some bad apples have killed the goose that laid the golden egg.
It will be very hard recovering from the damage that has been done, if we ever do.
