Maybe if we bring up the "social" issues we will lose some votes we need

Social issues are a higher priority than fiscal issues for social conservatives.

Here is a clue you are not bright enough to understand on your own:

Unemployed people deprived of their ability to work by a socialist government tend to move right in their thinking

Social conservative not only have zero intentions of compromising social issues to achieve fiscal goals...it pays off to hold true.

Social conservatives literally do not need those votes you describe if they are playing for the long haul. We will get many of them as people come face to face with themselves when they have more time than money on their hands, and no more rich government helping them go play some more.

You must be brighter than me. I have not seen one of my tenants move right in thier thinking. The entitlements they all get seem to be a career choice to be handed down. I will start paying closer attention so as to observe the move to the right. I have some third generation welfare people with subsidized rent, food stamps, wic, etc. How long before I see the move? If they don't make a move soon, me and a bunch of other business people will be forced to throw in the towel due to taxes and regulations.
