IF we are ever going to reverse some of the real damage to our culture that has gone wild since Mr. Obama became POTUS (like the repeal of DADT, etc.). Then we need a REAL and TOTAL Social/Moral conservative like Mike Huckabee. He is the guy I hope runs this time.
However, on this forum, a REAL social/moral conservative (like Mike Huckabee - or Rick Santorum) will be bashed....because this forum isn’t really that conservative. In my opinion, IF a person is not first and foremost socially/morally conservative (before ALL other considerations) then they are NOT a true conservative. Get the social/morale issues right, and the rest WILL fall into place. Social/moral decline is what is destroying this country (it is the cancer)....”big government”, “high taxes”, “illegal immigration”, “restrictions on the 2nd Ammendment”, “judicial tyranny”, etc. etc. etc. are just symptoms of the problem. Candidates that focus first on symptoms are not addressing the REAL disease. It will take a wave of social/moral conservatives (from the office of POTUS on down) to remotely having a chance of fixing things. If you really want to see those “symptoms” listed above to be corrected....then elect persons that will focus of moral/social issues first. Get those issues right (the cure), and the other issues (symptoms) will go away.
These young “Liberatarian” (libertine) voters that don’t care about social/morale concerns (like homosexuality) are destroying the GOP just as the “establishment” types are. For that matter, those extreme “Tea Party” types that only care about reducing taxes are also damaging the party.
Rick Santorum was pretty left behind the scenes, for instance secretly supporting Specter in 2010.
