Can can Freepers forgive him for caring more about economic issues than “social” issues?

He just signed a bill to defund planned parenthood in IN. He also recently said tax hikes should be on the table for balancing the Federal Budget. Actions do speak louder than words so I'm impressed so far. If he really wanted to raise taxes and not just use it as a bargaining tool than there would be trouble.

He also surrendered to Obama on foreign policy.

You don’t understand the core thinking though. If they did raise taxes, while making huge cuts at the same time and proving to people the extra taxes are going directly towards paying off the debt then you will not hear nearly the outcry as otherwise.

If he means getting rid of some of the corporate welfare loopholes, then I'm all for it.
