And 'conservatives' don't? Name a moral issue and 'conservatives' want a law passed enforcing it. Laws that have no business at the national government level.
Also note that many of the moral concerns Republicans claim they have, I know I have. But I also know that none of them were intended to be legislated at the national level
After the last election, he's suddenly courting a prominent Democratic politician.
Courting. I see. Never mind that he and Obama have some of the same concerns about AIDS and HIV. I don't think I know a single person with the disease but I also know it's not always limited to those who may have lifestyles we disagree with. Are we supposed to just forget about them, write off the casualties and keep pushing the 'conservative' cause? I suppose that's verboten to agree with a Democrat on anything. That about the gist of it?
You're not supposed to state that :-)
Don't you know that God is a republican and hates and condemns all others :-)
Only if let the "social conservatives" succeed in thier effort to claim exclusive rights to the term. The political conservatives - the old school constitutionalists - know better.

I know. I'm still looking for a republican Republican.

Let's just say that a healthy skepticism is one of the characteristics of political conservativism. While Obama may have the same concerns about AIDS and HIV, if I was focused on those issues he wouldn't be near the top of my list of people I would be looking to for anything other than access to political influence and the public treausury.
