There are fiscal conservatives and there are social conservatives. Some are both, some are only one or the other.

that is like saying “little bit pregnant”

there is no chinese menu conservatism. That is what the homo-con is all about.

Would you agree that there might be a third subgroup: constitutional conservatives?

It would necessarily overlap with both fiscal and social conservatives; but, in my mind, could remain distinct enough to represent a whole separate category.

Comments?

Some are both, some are only one or the other.

Here's the trouble. Social conservatives have long been able to hold our noses and vote for a "fiscal only" conservative if necessary against a liberal democrat.

The same courtesy has NOT been extended to candidates who are both fiscal and social conservatives by the so-called fiscal-only conservative group. In fact, for them, being socially liberal is more important than being fiscally conservative.

These are the RINOs who fight harder against conservatives than against Democrats. You don't have to think to hard to come up with a few names.

It's high time to abandon these people. Without social conservative votes, they'll be lucky to get 20% in a general election.

Stick with the Word of God and you'll have both, consistently.
