I would never tell anyone to leave the Republican Party

Good because even though several of you "Rudy" friends keeping suggesting it, I would never leave anyway.

but don't kid yourself on the percent of Republicans you say are social issues voters.

Oh I believe I am right, especially when you give them a reason to vote.

Then you obviously are not out in the trenches working for candidates and meeting a lot of other Republicans. Even here in OK, Republicans are getting fed up with the values only Reps who have introduced some bills that make the rest of us cringe. The pendulum swung too far right and is in the process of swinging back to a more common sense approach. Not to say that values are not important because I believe they are but other issues are more of a priority like roads and bridges in my state.

We had a lady killed near where I live on the Interstate because part of the bridge fell down. Not to mention our state was on fire and the values reps were debating where to put library books on the OKC library shelf while our rural firefighters were waiting for a vote on their needed equipment and resources. Turned a lot of us off that they put social issues that were rightly a community problem ahead of the safety of people and animals in the path of the fires.

How about a bill that would allow a pharmacist to decide which prescriptions to fill from the doctor if he didn't agree with the prescription?

I could go on and on about some of the worst bills and resolutions submitted and then they had to go in special session to get paid more in order to pass the budget.

This is why I think your figure is way to high or there would be a values candidate running. What you have this time are a few people pandering to values voters IMO.
