Just what of their agenda did the socons get accomplished? We still have abortion on demand, we still have the cultural-Marxist agenda being forced on kids in government schools, the media spew filth into the air, and the country is being invaded by 3rd-worlders of all types, hardly any of whom are going to be conservatives of any variety. The people who had their way are simply a bunch of professional politicians, not adherents to some principled cause; they use socons the way they use the other components of their base; the same way Demonrats use blacks, union workers, and the rest of THEIR base. If the base was ever satisfied, how could they marshall them to vote? So they never fulfill any "Contract with America." The fulfill the contracts with the big-money contributors by giving them specific things they want--like cheap immigrant labor for agribusiness. Like free trade with China for big business.
Common people don't matter at all to them.
Perhaps I should amend what I said to "a perception that they filled their agenda".
They didn't ban abortion because they can't. But they got a lot of it de-funded, etc. They got absitnence into the schools, they got faith-based initiatives, etc. Perhaps those are all small potatos compared to immigration and other things, but they were in the press a lot. As for the schools, I mostly didn't see socons trying to abolish the department of Ed as much as try to take it over for their own purposes.
