"...the electoral problem of the GOP is social conservatives -- those funny Americans who care about abortion and marriage and God in public schools."

And without us, the socialist party would have held 400 House seats and 90 Senate seats for the last 30 years. So how funny are we, Maggie?

“And without us, the socialist party would have held 400 House seats and 90 Senate seats for the last 30 years. So how funny are we, Maggie?”

Actually I don’t think she was speaking for herself there. She was speaking for the left. But as she comes at social cons from a lefty pov she does raise some questions. What has the gop done for social cons over the past 30 years? Now I am not a social con but I can recall that social cons went for the Huckster last election or worse stayed home. So the flip side of the coin is what have social cons done for the GOP lately. I was never a McCain supporter but I bet McCain is looking pretty good right now to all republicans.

And one thing is for certain. 2010 won’t be about social issues. It will be about economic issues. The left will chuckle like crazy if we push social issues in 2010 and rightfully so. Maggie was right to bring the economic angle up.

You failed to notice that Maggie was describing the viewpoint of “economic conservatives, LIVING IN A BUBBLE.” Maggie IS a “social conservative.”
