I haven't followed the guy to closely. What are the pros and cons on this guy?
Most Americans agree with the conservative social issues.
Nearly all normal people, you know the ones who know right and wrong. Don't support normaphobes pretending they are married. They also don't support killing babies. Sure there are some real sickos who support those positions, but they are the minority.
You must live in California, land of the morally confused.
Most Americans agree with the conservative social issues.
Maybe you're right......
Please help me to understand your perspecitve -
"Social Conservative" positions -
1.Anti-abortion.....still legal since 1973. If this were really a mainstream issue, R v. W would have been overturned decades ago.
2. Anti-gay rights.....yeah - all Americans are equal - but straight Americans are more equal....So if you're gay - you cannot enter into a variety of contracts.....including partnerships - Is this really important to MOST Americans? Be serious...
3. Anti-medical research - Like stem cells....c'mon seriously? MOST Americans want MORE medical research - No ONE wants to die of a curable disease!
4. Anti-immigration - a lot of Americans want a secure border, and a sensible approach to those here illegally. - Except politicians - Claiming to be a "social conservative" and "against illegal immigration" is pointless as Reagan showed us....
5. Welfare reform - what? like medicare???? right -
6.Lifting the ban on school prayer..... - ok, less than one percent of Americans even know that there is some sort of "ban" on public prayer in school - fewer than that care.
These are my perspectives - if you can refute them please do - I'd love to see some hard facts that suggest otherwise -
Until then - I will hold firm on my position that "the social conservative agenda" is not a position that will win a national election, because most Americans are far more interested in Jobs, keeping their home, paying their bills and taking care of their families.
