My cousin remarked that the social conservatives are the strong base that faithfully gets out there and works for the candidate, and a lot of them are getting frustrated about the drift from social conservative values. She said one of the candidates they won’t get behind is Guiliani. He seemed to disagree, and he proceeded to talk about how social conservatives love Guiliani (not this one) who he said will move further to the right. Basically, it didn’t feel like she got anywhere.Your cousin isn't wrong, exactly, but the social conservatives don't understand that they cannot elect (look, they can't even nominate a Republican candidate, for heaven's sake) on their own.
What they will do to go into coalition with non-socon Republicans is unclear, has always been unclear, and represents the downfall of Roveism.
There is nothing conservative about a social liberal. It is a deception to claim one is fiscally conservative but socially liberal. To play means someone pays and that is what social liberalism preaches: freedom to play and then when the destruction of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness results, a government FUNDED program of non-judgmental tax burden must be shared by ALL.
It will not matter which party the candidate claims to be representing....
