Then you obviously are not out in the trenches working for candidates and meeting a lot of other Republicans
Are you kidding, I have knocked on over 5000 doors in the last two elections.Over 8 of Idahos largest counties. I managed 2 state legislator campaigns, worked closely on 2 more. I did alot with a state senate campaign, and worked officially on Congressman Bill Sali's campaign. ALL WINNERS! ALL CONSERVATIVE!
I've been doing this for years and know grassroots campaigning. I especially know "regular folks".
One thing that really stands out to me is how many people mention pro-life as the major issue to them at the door.
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.
People all over the US are sick of values only, thats why we have all the serious problems, family breakups, drugs, alcohol, etc.
I have lived in Missouri and OK and I can't believe people there aren't into values issues. I can believe that they aren't for candidates who are one issue candidates.
Very few if any of us who your bunch call "one issue" voters are. If one is solid on pro-life issues they are probably for the rest of the core Republican issues, less government, less spending, lower taxes, free enterprise, private property rights, border control for national security, 2nd amendment and all the pro-life, pro-family issues.
