There’s a word for Republicans who either ignore, or timidly stay away from social issues: RINOs.

You can't honestly separate social from fiscal conservatism no matter how hard some try.

My former GOP congressman claimed to be a fiscal conservative but called pro lifers extreme. However, his fiscal conservatism included taxpayer funding of things like abortion under the label of choice.

That statement is just a function of your ignorance. The Republican party was not much involved in Social Issues until the 1980 election.

Additionally there are many high-profile Republicans that believe these issues should reside at the state level rather than the federal level.

I would cite Rick Perry, Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich and Sarah Palin as examples.

You need a refresher course in reality.
