Don’t know if he’s taken postions on the other two, but this election will not be about social issues. The voters want jobs, smaller government, lower taxes, jobs, less federal spending, jobs, less government intrusion into their lives, and oh, did I mention jobs?

In my lifelong experience as a Christian, and living on the fringes of politics, I've learned that one really can't pigeonhole issues. Every election cycle has a social issues component. If we fail to acknowledge that fact, we risk losing on the non-social issues. Whatever a society believes or doesn't believe, that's the way the world works in the long run.
