Lou has spent too much time cavorting around with the homosexualist RINOs at Fixed News.
If America loses its moral underpinnings, it will lose everything. Dobbs is a fool.
It is about whose rings they have to kiss during the campaign. We have a litmus test for Republican candidates and make our guys give pledges to certain conservative single-issue organizations. These statements that were made are then used by Democrat opponents and the media to try and drive a wedge between the conservative base and more moderate swing voters by making republicans look "extreme".
The Democrats don't do this. You'll never see a Democrat candidate go to Planned Parenthood and pledge to uphold partial-birth abortion. You'll never see them go to the Million Moms and pledge to enact more gun control laws. And their constituents are wise enough to not demand this. I've often said that Democrats have the luxury of waiting until they've been elected before they come out in support of unpopular positions.
Oh , Lou was blathering on and on about the right for gays to marry, the other day, on Imus, or some such.
Its either total conservative or Hillary, especially after (not Christie, we already knew he was it when he smooched BO) Ryan’s turncoat deal
A conservative lite will be like bush He’ll spend four or eight years ushering in every liberal idea just to try to be popular with everyone but the conservatives, whom he’ll hate
While we’d be better off with Hillary, so we could blame our final demise on liberalism where it belongs
Hillary can’t be happy about the Christie deal. She’d have beaten him with a wave of her hand
Does being "socially conservative" mean limiting government to the point that it cannot force Americans to fund, advance, and tolerate abortion and homosexual invasion everywhere from Boy Scouts and public schools to the military and adoption agency policies ...
... or does "socially conservative" mean using government to force Americans to fund, advance, and tolerate "conservative" government that prosecutes abortion and homosexual invasion?
Rick Santorum was right, for example, in his socially conservative position that pro-abortion tax-supported Planned Parenthood should be defunded. But was he "socially conservative" in wanting the funds to be used instead to promote adoption? If that's "socially conservative," then it's also PRO GOVERNMENT and I must not be "socially conservative" even though I am totally against abortion and the gay agenda.
One can be socially conservative and PRO GOVERNMENT, and one can be socially conservative and be LIMITED GOVERNMENT.
The divide isn't with the issues; the divide is in how the true "conservative" defines government's role IN those issues.
RE: Oh , Lou was blathering on and on about the right for gays to marry, the other day, on Imus, or some such.
OK, here’s a question...
How does a conservative ( who does not support gay marriage) talk about gay marriage without sounding like a hateful bigot?
How does a conservative answer a question regarding abortion as it relates to rape and incest? ( something they will SURELY BE ASKED ABOUT, see Aiken, Todd ).
Lou Dobbs is wrong in this — YOU CANNOT AVOID SOCIAL ISSUES. Why? BECAUSE THE LIBERAL PRESS WILL HOUND YOU ON IT AND ASK YOU ABOUT IT ANYWAY.
You might not be interested in social issues, but social issues are interested in you.
I can’t even figure out what you were trying to say.
