I think we can agree social conservative issues should be at the forefront

Are you sure about that? We would lose a lot of the libertarians that are very involved in Free Republic. It is only an idea, but the issues that seem to be universal are the attacks on our constitution, banking system, medical system, and military. One might even get a fight on the banking system from some quarters.

Isn't the number one job of conservatives at this moment to force the repeal of Obamacare?

It's all open for debate. If we are concerned about alienating libertarians from donating then we can make the mission statement broader and general.

Yes, repealing ObamaCare is a primary objective of conservatives, but I didn’t understand that to be the goal of FRPAC. As I understood the idea, Jim wanted to organize to target RINOs and get them out of office.

I hope he’ll comment soon.

No, that is not the correct approach.

Much like Reagan did, we need to attack on all sides, not just a focused one because we are afraid of alienating a group of people.

Remember Reagan's Three-Legged stool analogy?

1. Fiscal conservatism based on limited government.
2. Moral conservatism.
3. Support for the National Defense and a Strong Military.

Take out one leg and the stool is useless.

Furthermore, the purpose of this site is, as stated by Jim Robinson, as follows:

As a conservative site, Free Republic is pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-Constitution, pro-Bill of Rights, pro-gun, pro-limited government, pro-private property rights, pro-limited taxes, pro-capitalism, pro-national defense, pro-freedom, and-pro America. We oppose all forms of liberalism, socialism, fascism, pacifism, totalitarianism, anarchism, government enforced atheism, abortionism, feminism, homosexualism, racism, wacko environmentalism, judicial activism, etc. We also oppose the United Nations or any other world government body that may attempt to impose its will or rule over our sovereign nation and sovereign people. We believe in defending our borders, our constitution and our national sovereignty.

To leave any of that out of our purpose statement for a PAC makes a mockery of what Jim, and the rest of us, have been fighting for.
