The GOP congnescenti are desperate for their presidential wannabes...

to ditch the "social issue" angle and get back to hating on the Obaman economy. They...and some of the MSM, still seem to feel that this is the preferred Obama-hate angle.

I'm here to say, I like it too. As I've noted before, I'd much rather see Obama beat Mitt, than see him beat Santorum. And, my guess is that this is the turf Obama would prefer to fight on as well, rather than wallowing down in the mud with the nutjobs, around issues that're of little practical relevance to regular Americans.

They see how contraception and VA's "vaginal probe" crap is playing out in the polls....and it scares the bejeezus out of them.

S'why they're probably going to promote Newt to help cut into Santorum's votes....thus splitting it and giving the wins to Romney.

truth be told, the social issues are very important. the public hasn't paid attention to the war on women republicans have been waging in the states....until the repubs stepped in it recently. repubs have made reproductive and abortion services difficult if not impossible to secure in several states. many states are pushing initiatives on the "personhood amendment" in 2012. repubs put it on the ballot in Colorado THREE TIMES. it was soundly defeated, but they'll be back at it.

I want these issues to be debated nationally. and if Romney is the nominee, I want it hung around his greasy neck.

It's funny to watch the Right....strenuously defend the radical social conservatism of folks like Santorum and our beloved Governor Bob.....and then when pressed say things like "Hey! Where in this thread did I say I supported what they did!"

A clear sign they want to defend their Social Cons....but are embarassed as crap having this stuff "made public" and KNOW how it's going to play in the General Election.
