I disagree. Many social cons want to increase the power and scope of the federal government in order to forward their agenda. Abortion is a classic example. The federal goverment should have no say on it. What do you think drives big government conservatism? It is definitely not the libertarian or small government conservatives. It is composed of fiscal conservatives who are happy as long as the budget is balanced and the social conservatives(along with pretty much all liberals) as long it forwards their social agenda. These days fiscal conservatives aren’t happy with Bush’s “type” of conservatism. Only the social cons are.

And Rudy’s mayoral record has fiscal cons tickled pink.

Hey Witchman63,

Abortion is a classic example.

The reason abortion is an issue at the federal level is because the liberal faction of the Supreme Court deemed it to be so (and wrongly as I am certain you'll agree).

I am sure that you will find massive support among social cons for the idea that one should take the abortion issue away from the Federal Government and give it to the states as is proper.

Likewise, I doubt you would disagree with Social Cons fighting to make abortion illegal at the state level as is our right.
