Quote from Maverick74:
Sure, but most Americans are NOT left and right. The average American can't name the VP of the US or their own governor. That's why it's so silly trying to create these images of what the left or right is in this country. MSNBC draws you a picture of the right and Fox News draws you a picture of the left. The stupid ones are the ones who believe those pictures.

Quote from oldtime:
it's because the republicans can't win with just fiscal conservatives. There are probably only about 30% of us in the country.
So they had to join forces with the social conservatives.
Quote from Maverick74:
The people who believe this shit that this is the modern day GOP ARE the problem. This hat is getting so old. Most people in this country are purple, not blue or red. The left paints this picture to be as unattractive as possible to divide this nation. Not sure why you fell for it Nitro.
I'm not defending it, I'm just telling you how it is. Not all social conservatives are bigots. Some are religous people who believe abortion is a sin.Quote from hoodooman:

Interesting name for bigots using religion to justify their positions.
