“It is NOT the main issue and the GOP must not fall for this. Focus on the ECONOMY.”
I agree. If the GOP makes abortion and same sex marriage the tenet of its 2010 platform, Democrats will use it against them.
“Democrats will use it against them.”
Those Republicans are so scary. They support keeping babies alive rather then killing them and they support marriage between a man and a woman.
Scary stuff indeed. Convictions are a useful thing...
Please read my reply to nmh. You’re assertion is as laughable as his. Let me educate you. A platform can contain more than just fiscal conservative issues. I know. It’s shocking, but the platform can actually address multiple issues, like abortion, same-sex marriage, AND fiscal conservatism. Now you may think abortion and same-sex marriage are insignificant issues, but you’re wrong. You try to turn the Republican Party into the Libertarian Party, and you’ll lose simply because you don’t have majority support. Try to strike abortion from the platform and you’ll be squashed. That’s just political fact.
It's already in the current platform.

It would be a DISASTER. It didn't work before and it won't work now as we slip lower into the sewer. You have to get their attention on something more personal to THEM - and that is MONEY.
The Demoncrats will have a hard time justifying their drunken spending. They can't. It's been a disaster.
“I agree. If the GOP makes abortion and same sex marriage the tenet of its 2010 platform, Democrats will use it against them.”
Of course the Dems will...so what? IF the moral issues are not part....meaningfully so......of the OVERALL GOP agenda, then social/moral conservatives will be lost to the GOP. The GOP CAN NOT win without social/morale conservatives as part of its coalition. That is plain fact.
Besides, who doesn’t want a good economy? However, what good is the most prosperous economy if we have to live in a moral sewer to obtain it????
Campaigning on one conservative position is like trying to go a boxing match with one arm tied.
