Well you better figure something out. Several polls (here is the Pew one)eolesen said:You seem to think the only principles the GOP has in their platform are to ban abortion and gay marriage.That's what the Alinskyites on MSLSD will have you believe, but on the Top 10 list of things really important to conservatives, those are probably #19 and #24, if not lower.The only reason they get any attention is because they're lightning rods, and it's far easier to attack issues of faith than it is for Liberals to have to answer for the reality of what 6 years under Obama has resulted in, or how unaccountable the DOJ, IRS, NSA, etc. have been with regard to privacy and retaliation against those the Administration disagrees with.At some point, enough people will see thru the facades of socialism, and realize that it ain't working for them anymore. It may not be this year, it may not be until after the country goes further into debt and can't lie their way out of it.But it will happen. And when it does, I'm guessing that the issues of importance then are going to reflect that Top 10 of things that conservatives currently see as most important.

show that the youth under 30 believe that government should do more not less. They are more socially liberal and they believe govt has a large roll to play. That's pretty much everything the GOP is not.
I guess 2014/16 will be a indicator but regardless, politics is a pendulum. Swings back and forth because in the final analysis, both parties screw it up to the point where the people want a change to let the other side do it.
