Now you are abandoning that claim it looks like, I would like to see your source for the claim before you slip away from it.
I’m not abandoning anything. Social legislation belongs at the State level, not the Federal level. The states are doing a good job of curtailing abortion, for example.
The states were meant to be “laboratories” for social legislation, to see what worked and what did not work.
Too bad that wasn’t done for prohibition. We could have, as a nation, saved a lot of trouble and money.
The statement was found on a blog concerning the founding of the Republican Party. And I have tried to find it again after my computer was hacked, again, last year but no luck.
Does this mean I want the Republican Party to refuse to support social conservatism? No, it does not. I want us to win nationally and concentrate on conservative issues that will appeal to most Americans.
