It’s a natural shift due to a change in times. When times were good, we were able to argue about social things.

What a load of hogwash.

Just what is a "social thing," anyhow? Why is the defense of innocent human life a "social thing"? Why is the defense of the most important fundamental building block of our civilization, and our economy, the natural family, a "social thing"? Why is every moral basis of everything a "social thing"?

Social issues simply refer to anything having to do with the society’s ethics/morals etc., at least I see the term in this case.

There was pushback over Obama’s horrible abortion insurance decree.

When they need to, the GOP still does fight back over moral matters. They are important to the future this country.

But, pushing gay marriage bans is not going to win votes right now. Fixing the economy will.

It doesn’t mean they don’t think it’s important to fight gay marriage. But, since Obama is not trying to legalize it, there is not a current sense of urgency to the matter because we have to get people to work so they can HAVE BIBLICAL/TRADITIONAL FAMILIES to begin with.

You can only focus on so many things at a time in politics. Not having active proposals on a matter does not mean you have stopped caring about it.
