There’s the 2nd Amendment, abortion, healthcare (especially with Hillary’s mandatory insurance)and a myriad of other things that will bring democrats over to the GOP, if they are properly presented.

I'll agree that proper presentation is essential. Sorry to say it but I still think it's those mushy moderates who are going to decide the election. In the past they've often been soft on those issues that are near and dear to your heart.

Near and dear to my heart? So, you’re not a conservative, then?

That’s what I’ve been saying. Thompson, like Reagan, is strong enough on the social issues to appeal to the Christian Right, the Values Voters, and other social conservatives, while not so “hardline” as to turn off those mushy moderates.
