Look. If a conservative is wrong on basic fundamental issues like gay marriage, then they are wrong on basic economic issues as well. If you are OK with gay marriage - or if (same thing) you don't feel its an important issue - you are a social liberal. Therefore you are what's wrong with the Republican Party.
Well, that's certainly one way to look at things. Its a stupid way to look at things, but it's one way.
The bottom line is that you so-called conservatives are the biggest hypocrites there are. That's why your republican party is the Whig party.
You whine about big govt out of one side of your mouth and then want to violate the Constitution up and down regarding your idiotic war on drugs or the patriot act or NDAA.
You whine about big govt regulation out of one side of your mouth and then want to use big govt to dictate marriage or tell people they cant screw on film and sell it (we can quibble about the porn because that is actually interstate trade).
You whine about big govt spending and beurocracy out of one side of your mouth and then get in control of govt and eliminate, reduce or clean up what?
You people can cling to your notions of using big govt to dictate YOUR morality but that America died a long time ago. Wake up and smell the coffee or the entire notion of conservatism will go buh bye. You are what's wrong with the republican party.
