Social issues simply refer to anything having to do with the society’s ethics/morals etc., at least I see the term in this case.

There was pushback over Obama’s horrible abortion insurance decree.

When they need to, the GOP still does fight back over moral matters. They are important to the future this country.

But, pushing gay marriage bans is not going to win votes right now. Fixing the economy will.

It doesn’t mean they don’t think it’s important to fight gay marriage. But, since Obama is not trying to legalize it, there is not a current sense of urgency to the matter because we have to get people to work so they can HAVE BIBLICAL/TRADITIONAL FAMILIES to begin with.

You can only focus on so many things at a time in politics. Not having active proposals on a matter does not mean you have stopped caring about it.

The economy is in the shape it's in because we have abortion in the first place.

No, when the GOP realizes it is about to lose social conservative votes they pay lip service to issues that they have no intention of ever actually addressing.

YES, he is.

we have to get people to work so they can HAVE BIBLICAL/TRADITIONAL FAMILIES to begin with.

Utter nonsense!

Prior to a few years ago America had enjoyed a quarter century of nearly uninterrupted economic growth and low unemployment. It was during this era that the abandonment of the traditional family accelerated and promotion of sodomy was advanced.

What, you mean winning elections and consolidating power is potentially more important than throwing a litmus-test temper tantrum every time one’s favorite issue is temporarily out of the limelight?

Clearly you must be a [insert name of current Two Minutes’ Hate target] supporter!!! Zot the moderate!

I guess you never heard the phrase "silence implies consent."

I stopped listening to much of anything these people say they stand for. Their actions speak so loud I can't hear them anyhow.
