The Social Agenda as you call it doesn’t feed my family. But i guess that is the difference between the two of us. You apparently can exist on morals; my children are not so fortunate.
Yep, this article points out that the success of Obama is directly related to Obama delivering the social agenda that his liberal base wants. If the GOP did the same, they would win elections like this one too.
Either the GOP stays "neutral" on social issues and part of their base stays home or the GOP fights for social conservatives and gets their votes and support. The Dems know how to keep a coalition party together. The GOP seems to think they're going to get social conservative votes "no matter what" so their elections don't have to be "about" abortion or same-sex marriage. This election proved that they need every vote they can get. Social conservatives are very willing to back fiscal and military conservative policies. So why do fiscal conservatives keep trying to throw our social policies under the bus and still expect us to come and and vote?
