If you think those grandmas in sneakers and women pushing carriages are libertarians or South Park conservatives you’re crazy. Stop letting the media determine your mind. They want to fool you into thinking these people don’t believe in social conservative ideas. It’s the media’s dream that the TEA parties hate social conservatives and you have crawled into bed with them.
Just because the TEA Party movement decided to focus on one area does not mean when the individuals go into the voting booth they have forgotten what this country is about. TEA party members are even more conservative than republicans. More fiscally conservative, more constitutionally aware, and more socially conservative. Any liberaltarians coming along for the ride are fine but quit dreaming that old liberal dream about ridding the world of godly people because liberaltarians do not run the TEA party movement, god loving individuals who believe in the Constitution and personal responsibility do.
Sit back and enjoy the ride and let the real conservatives do all the hard work.
If you say so.
but sadly, most Social Conservatives do not realize that their true battle is at the State level, and that by supporting Small Government Conservatives, they'd get a much easier path to attaining their goals. Instead, they've fallen for the seduction of the ease and power of using the Federal Government to impose their views, since the Progressive Left has been so successful with it.
I can only hope and pray that some candidate can marry the two sides of the Conservative cause by reminding the Social Conservatives of this. There is no other way to get all of the Right to work together... and there is no better way to draw the disillusioned "mushy middle" voters to begin voting again. A platform of lower taxes, less intrusion, more limits on representatives, less paperwork, etc WILL bring back millions of non-voters,most especially this next cycle.
