I don’t really see the big deal.
It’s a natural shift due to a change in times. When times were good, we were able to argue about social things.
But, for the past couple years, times have not been good. It would be foolish to run an election on social issues when people can’t put food on the table.
I do not think this means the GOP is for gay marriage now. But, now is not the time to have a life or death battle on the matter UNLESS it is thrusted upon us by the left through a national attempt at a law etc.
That’s pretty much it. Dinner table issues rule right now, anyone who can’t see that has their own agenda.
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"?
RINOs have ALWAYS had a reason why it "wasn't a good time" to listen to social conservatives.
But, for the past couple years, times have not been good. It would be foolish to run an election on social issues when people can’t put food on the table.
Our economic problems are a DIRECT RESULT of social issues. America is broke BECAUSE of these issues and we will never truly prosper again if we don't fix them.
"Times" don't shift on their own. We're not Marxists; history doesn't move according to its own inscrutable dynamic. History changes because people make choices and take actions.
It would be foolish to run an election on social issues when people can’t put food on the table.
It would be foolish to worry about putting food on the table if human life and freedom are meaningless. If that's where matters are headed, then to hell with the country and all the rest. Who needs it?
The GOP-e wants to marginalize so called “socons.” Human nature and Natural Law never changes, and there won’t be food on the table unless this fact of life is acknowledged.
THEN you REALLY do not understand what REPUBLICAN means, what the Republican party is all about. LIMITED GOVERNMENT.
Liberals are advancing and promoting 'immoral' issues via the strong arm of government.
It is up to Republicans to assure limited government. Your contention is tantamount to a limited government by retreat of Republicans so that only liberals set 'moral' policy.
You and your kind seem transfixed with who wins the throne, and how best to win the throne. Putting in place our king versus their king and by doing this ignoring, for political convenience and political success, the true King, God.
Your 'financial' moral free government king is just as bad as the liberals immoral social justice government king. You and your kind are one of two sides of the same coin.
Your attitude is why we are in this shape we are in.
We do not want a government that is king -that is why moral issues are important.
Without God there are no unalienable rights -no freedom.
Get a clue!
So, when times are bad we might as well put Stalin in charge so long as he plans to deal with the economy. /s

Especially when the candidate is wobbly on the issue. He has moved back and forth across the line, and where he will go with this cannot be predicted.
