Also, I am not partisan hack. I actually try to follow politics objectively. If the Republican Party moves further to the right and nominates a fringe candidate, they will lose the independent vote and only retain the 30-35% base vote. They will lose. Mitt Romney is a centrist, and a centrist has a better opportunity to appeal to independent voters. The fringe right spends too much time on hot-button social issues, which is a distraction from what independent voters mostly care about.
I agree Bob. The right needs to let go of the abortion topic and the gay marriage topic. A true conservative such as myself believes we should live our lives as we please; but within the law of the land. What right does anyone have to say "you must marry as I do or not marry at all". What right does anyone have to say "you must have that baby and struggle financially."
All I ask as a conservaitve is.."do as you please but do not ask me to be part of it for it as it is against my faith and/or ideology."
The republican party needs a conservative candidate that thinks as I do. It needs a candidate that is socially moderate and fiscally conservative.
