Poll open for 90 days!
 
It's not an either/or thing.
 
Right now, fiscal issues. Until we can get back on our feet, that has to be the most important.

Do you think the GOP can win on social issues in the future?
 
If by some miracle we could restore fiscal authority to constitutional standards, the social issues nonsense would take care of itself.
 
Social issues within a balanced budget.

I don't think so. We need to forcibly balance the budget and take whatever pain that requires so that we stop borrowing from China and start living within our means, but that's not going to stop either party from pushing their social agenda.

Can you explain that? I fail to see how it would take care of itself.

The federal government was never intended to be involved in social issues of any kind. The purpose of the federal government was intended to provide the common defense, promote the general welfare (meaning everybody's welfare and not individual demographics or special interests), provide just enough laws and regulation to allow the several states to function as one, strong, cohesive nation, and then it was to recognize and secure our unalienable rights and leave us strictly alone to govern ourselves and form ourselves into whatever sort of societies we wished to have. The federal government could assign no rights to anybody--that was the whole idea behind the vision of liberty the Founders held--but would recognize our God given or natural rights. The people would allow just enough resources to the federal government to carry out those constitutionally mandates functions.

If we do that, then everything else takes care of itself as we deem necessary and are willing to commit our resources and put in the time and energy.
