Someone who wanted to win the Presidency might say: "Look, I've got very deep and personal convictions against pornography, but the reality is this country faces economic problems involving massive unemployment, trillions of dollars in unsustainable debt, runaway gas prices and a President who confuses campaigning with leadership. It's really time to focus on the issues that are of real importance to America and American families. To focus on anything else, at this point in time, would be foolish...."

That's what someone who wanted to win the Presidency would say....

And RIck Santorum would have never left Iowa if he'd been the type of close-lipped politician who refused to answer voter questions and said, "You know what's really important. What I SAY is important."
Phil Grama in 1996 was met by a group of religious conservatives who asked for his assurance of their support. Gramm responded he wasn't a preacher. He focused on the economy and finished 5th Place in Iowa and never made it to New Hampshire.
Your advice worked well for him.
