Far more than merely repealing amendments we must irrevocably change minds not just opinions on certain issues. There is a disconnect when 80% claim to be conservatives when in the same breath on other polls almost 45% still support Obama. We need to learn that politics are emotions and most people vote with emotions, regardless of logic. Conservatives had better understand this or we will die. It’s fine to discuss ideas amongst ourselves. We need to go out there and proselytize. Temporary victories must be opportunities to turn the national ideology into a permanent majority. That has been the goal of the left since day one. We have not reciprocated.

I haven't seen, "80% claim to be conservatives." Do you have a link? That must be a sloppy mix of those who identify as social conservatives and those who identify as fiscal conservatives. Among those who claim to be both, the best number that I've seen that's reproducible is about 40%, and that's just recently. For years, the "moderates" have been polled between 40 - 50%.

Well said.
