Guess that's why Huckabee is the Republican nominee right?
It polls very highly among Republicans...however that doesn't mean its the one single all important issue that all Republicans care about above all others.

Oh ok, but you still have distorted what I have said so try again. I said that traditional conservative thinking is that government doesn't have all the answers.
My point is that liberals also think that government doesn't have all the anwsers and if thats what defined them, then the two ideologies would be the same when they clearly aren't.
I didn't distort anything you said, I merely pointed out that liberals as well as conservatives don't think that government is the anwser to everything.
The marriage amendment, would be from the extreme right spectrum. Not basic conservative thinking.
Extreme? Didn't an overwhelming majority of republicans in congress - and probably close to 100% of conservative republicans - try to amend the constitution to ban gay marriage?
But liberals think that government can solve our nation's poverty by raising taxes right?
No. They do however think you can make a dent in it. Wait, more social services help people get out of poverty? Wow, who would have thunk it.
False assumptions. Show me how spending on social services has went down? As a result of us spending on social programs in the past.
No. They do however think you can make a dent in it. Wait, more social services help people get out of poverty? Wow, who would have thunk it.
Where has spending on social services got people out of poverty? I mean if all this money is being spent on social services then we should see a reduction in social spending right? The huge dent in poverty should reap the benefits in reduced social spending. If people are out of poverty they don't need to draw benefits right?
The problem is that they are massively disorganized and under funded. We don't need more programs to give people money, we need programs to help people get back on their feet. We need programs to give people legal representation in small disputes, we need to make education better and cheaper and not tie funding of schools to local property taxes, we need to have social programs that help people get jobs and learn technical skills and get health insurance. We need to make employers give women maternity leave, and allow low income individuals with children to get childcare. We need to improve public transport, or subsidize cars for low income individuals. We need to do these things on the state and local levels with the feds funding them.
Wait so Liberals think that government should tell us what marriage is and who we can marry?
Conservatism and Liberalism have both lost their roots and neither are coherent ideologies nowadays. Thats why the oh so internationalist Obama/Clinton duo are stupidly threatening to withdraw from NAFTA.
No. They do however think you can make a dent in it. Wait, more social services help people get out of poverty? Wow, who would have thunk it.
Pick up a newspaper, and see what republican control of government, and republican policies have done to the country.
Oh so now your admitting that government probably isn't the most efficient agency to handle poverty, imagine that.
You mean all these years it's just that simple, its been disorganized and underfunded. It seems as though some liberals would have figured that out by now.
Not that NAFTA is any good, but please don't tell me you actually think they'd REALLY withdraw.
In times like these when this government is up to their necks in debt, incapable of balancing a budget, and teetering on the brink of bankrtuptcy, those social services only make the country poorer in the long run.
The dollar is performing like shit right now, largely in part because our government has been way too irresponsible fiscally. The weak dollar is what has been crushing people financially.
Surely you don't think that it's the single fault of the tax cuts, right?
Helping people is NOT what our welfare programs DO. And in fact when changes are offered to do JUST that, Liberals oppose them. Our Social Programs breed dependency.
My little Sister was on public aid, She got off by getting 3 jobs. I will NEVER forget what her oldest son told her.
" Mom, quit working, you don't need to, the Government will pay."
He had learned the lesson the liberals want taught.
