Not just NE and Pacific. The Abortion ballot went down in flames in SD and when Republicans tried to replace science with Creationism in Kansas and Cobb County Georgia they were defeated soundly in the Republican Primaries. Polls were running 80% against the Republican action in that whole Teri Schevio mess.

Rush is only partly right when he says “Conservatism wins everytime it's tried”

Fiscal yes it's true, but Social Conservatism (a.k.a. Christian Socialism) on the other hand repels

Case in point, Embryonic Research, which was on the ballot in Missouri and New Jersey

In 2006 In Conservative Missouri, it was fought as a moral issue yet it still passed by a large margin,

Yet in 2007 in Ultra Liberal New Jersey, it was fought as a fiscal issue and ended up being soundly defeated.

Fiscal should come 1st, social issues should be hearts and minds issues not federal government ones. Focusing on the social issues over the fiscal ones is what has brought the GOP to disater. Continuing that path will ensure we never win an election again. Don't like abortion, don't have one, don't like what's on TV, Don't watch. Meanwhile if you don't like the spending on a particular program, try not paying your taxes, see what happens.

Brilliant.

I still fail to see the obsession with abortion that our SoCon friends have

Focus on fiscal issues and we win elections, and win them big

1994 wasn’t won on abortion

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are LIFE, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”

Pretty clear to me where the Founders stood... regardless of GODless activist judges that corrupted the law.
