You look at the infighting right here on Free Republic between social conservatives and those who are either financial or foreign policy conservatives.

I love Rush Limbaugh, but the conservative radio shows rarely touch social issues anymore. It's all taxes and business all the time. Rush at least makes it entertaining. Hannity is horrible.

But that's basically the nature of the modern GOP, and results in he complaints Mr. Keyes and many of us have about the party as a whole. It's a party of small and medium range businesses. When their interests mesh with ours, we get a 1994 style tidal wave. The rest of the time, it's a house divided against itself.

There is a fault line out there.

It about the lack of principle and conviction about fiscal matters coupled with the lack of committment to federalism.

Think about the storm that Harriet Miers nomination to the Supreme Court created because she wasn’t a federalist.

No one doubts the pro-life convictions in the GOP, its just that insiders want to water down fiscal conservatism and federalism.

"I love Rush Limbaugh, but the conservative radio shows rarely touch social issues anymore."

Rush usually mentions ProLife stories every week, what other social issues you looking for? (Not a challenge just interested in what social issues you think need more air time.)
