GOP drop the social and religious parts and just concentrate on the fiscal part? Intolerance for choice be it either concerning abortion or your sexual partner will never go over with the majority of Americans. Isn't it time the republican party got back to smaller, less intrusive and fiscally responsible government for their message?

Exactly.
Thank you. I too have noticed that the focus appears to be in many of the wrong places and not on promoting smaller, better government.

As a Conservative, I do not agree with this analysis. America has always been about freedom of thought. I don't feel threatened by my Conservative counter-parts who are not opposed to gay marriage. But that doesn't mean I can't oppose it.
I think that many Conservatives might see gay marriage as a state's rights issue, regardless of their personal stance on the issue. So I think there is room for compromise, without forfeiting any voices.
Peace Warrior: Even if that radical statement is true, those people exist in every party, and always will, because they exist in humanity. You cannot cull humanity.

It is odd that a party that believes in small government wants so much interference at the federal level on issues that should be state's rights issues.
I don't believe the federal government should be deciding on gay marriage. Abortion, however, is very much within the constitutional realm, as far as the rights of the unborn child is concerned.

i'm balloting for Ron interior the primaries. he's the scientific expert and he's the treatment. we will journey financial cave in under Hussein or Romney. yet Romney has been working companies for years. He will possibly no longer understand macroeconomic coverage, yet he does understand.....the government is inflicting the mass exodus of companies, businessmen, and jobs with the aid of greater effective regulations, the cost of employment etc, foreign places... So whilst we do have financial cave in, he could make the magnificent judgements. Thats sufficient for me to vote for Mitt over Hussein. I dont vote for communist.

1) President Reagan said that the Republican Party needs the 3 branches of conservatives: Fiscal, security & social (which includes religious). It's only the Democrats who insist on ideological purity. Exhibit A: Joe Lieberman.

But then the Republican Party won't stand a chance in any future election.
Wait a second, that's not a bad thing!

1. There is no problem with the GOP other than the expansion of government via war and welfare. Dr. Ron Paul is the answer.
2. Gays need treatment, not marriage.
3. Life begins at conception.
