Social conservatives win elections….but NOT when they emphasize the social issues. See Reagan 80,84, the CWA in 94, the TP election of 2010 - all of those were victories for social conservatives….who indeed emphasized issues of LIMITED GOVERNMENT.
Food for thought. The Contract with America had only one social issue and it was just a small mickey mouse thing regarding adoption
In Red Missouri, A spending bill on Stem cells were fought as a social issue and the voters passed it.
A few years later in Blue New Jersey spending bill on Stem cells was fought as a fiscal issue and the voters defeated it

Not sure where you’re going with this……and the CWA was not a social document, for sure, but the prime movers of it were known social conservatives….which proves my case…..not sure what your case is.

Are you really trying to use that Missouri and that NJ example to refute my premise? I hope you’re not……I’d hate to have to publicly tear taht down…..it’s too easy.
