Is she going to be tea party or social conservative?

WHOA there, buddy!

Are you trying to say that you can't be both? That a social conservative cannot be a tea party conservative?

Is that what you Paulites really think? That the only conservatism is small government only, and that morality and social conservatism (as supported by our Founding Fathers) is NOT a part of being a complete conservative?

Is that what you're really saying? That being pro-life, or anti-marijuana legalization makes one a 'statist?'

Wow.

Well, I guess what I mean is she going to listen to the
social conservative “drugs are bad” argument, or is she going to listen to the tea party “limited constitutional government” argument.

It is easy to argue that you’re both a tea party conservative and a social conservative. But only if you take the tea party position. You say, the Federal Government shouldn’t be involved, but I’d vote to keep marijuana illegal, and I think that most states should keep it illegal. If I was Governor, I’d keep it illegal. But, the Federal Government should be out of this. I’m voting to limit the power of the federal government, voting to make the federal government smaller. All standard conservative positions.

Not the Irving Kristol doesn’t like McGovern’s foreign policy, so his ideas get called conservative by a socialist
positions. Limited Constitutional Government is the True Conservative wing of the Republican Party.
