So you are another one of those anti-conservatives that thinks that mocks conservatives as only being Santorum supporters?

You sure are reinforcing this statement from him, and in a way that doesn’t help him.

Sidelining social issues is a loser on FR. Scotty must not have gotten the memo. He sounds like he is channeling his Rand Paul side. :-)

LMAO! I know you're attacking, but that's a good one anyway.

You’re not worth my time, Ansel. Find another mission.

Doing what Jesus would do makes more sense.

Are you looking for a president or a messiah?

Since he is running for Cesar, that makes sense.

LOL! Actually I’m serious. FR is not the place to diss on social issues.

LOL, you are really demonstrating an ugliness that doesn’t help your candidate.

If you are what passes for a Walker supporter, I can tell you that, you aren’t helping him.

I have a tee shirt with a pic of Reagan and a quote, “The best social program is a job”. When I wear it out, I get a lot of positive comments.

Most social issues are in fact economic issues and improving the economy will improve those too.

You have it completely reversed, social liberalism creates the liberal voters and dependent, amoral voters, that make conservatives economics and limited government, impossible.

Social liberalism breaks societies and people, and they become voters who only think of themselves and their short term wants.

"Are you looking for a president or a messiah? "

“They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’ 45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’ 46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”

I'm looking for a President who is righteous.

Recommending waiting until being in a position of governance to enact a conservative social agenda is “dissing social issues?” Interesting.

LMAO!! This, coming from the guy who bristles wildly at any notion Sarah Palin is unelectable to the presidency. Got it.

. For example, where do you think the economy would be today if we had not aborted 55,000,000 babies?This is the questions we should be asking the political leaders.

If you want a truthful answer,

Broke

About 45,000,000 million of them would have been on welfare and voting for Democrats.

LOL, this is fantastic, as you rage at the conservatives, and attack them as all being Santorum supporters since they are social conservatives, now you want to start attacking Governor Palin.

You come off as either the most idiotic Walker supporter ever, or as a secret, anti-Walker troll, trying to make everyone dislike him.

“hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison”

Fixing the economy would do a lot more for those people than focusing on abortion and gay marriage. Not that Walker is for either of those things, but we’re talking about where to focus the debate. The Democrats love to talk about those issues because it distracts from the horrible job they do on governing.

Exactly. He’s very good at picking his battles, and in not going for every “when did you quit beating your wife” question the media throws out, knowing there is nothing to be gained from playing their game.

The "Media" is the biggest problem facing America. These people are monolithic in their thought processes and herd mentality. The reason we can't get traction on various issues is because everything discussed on television or made into a "news" story, goes through a filter of Liberal New York Democrat Union members before the public gets to see it.

The US media is literally the biggest censorship weapon in the world.

You are far too disconnected from reality to continue this. Have a nice day.

That is what I want in my Pastor.
The apostles weren’t part of the gov’t.
I don’t think Jesus ever thought “Caesar” was ever going to rule with his principles. He said his Kingdom was no part of this world.
