Hello:

If social conservatisim is so good, how do you explain its demise?

(First off, if you're gonna say that it isn't demized, you should find some questions on the fantasy board to answer.)

Ok, maybe I'm not spelling it out well enough..... How come there isn't a social conservative running for president? Or if there is, how come people don't like him?

I am a social conservative.
Every time I mentioned about morality, there would be some women on this site yelling at me that I can't anything about what they want to do!
The funny thing is they would state their dirty history without a confession. I didn't even want to know about that!
Women...geez...that's why I prefer not to talk about politics with them.

Excon,

If Conservatism is out of favor and has suffered a "demise" how do you explain why Harry Reid has an 18% approval rating overall and only 30% in his home state of Nevada? Why does Nancy Pelosi have a 30% approval rating? Why does Joe Biden have an approval rating of 20%?

By comparison, Condi Rice has a 41% approval rating and John Roberts has a 42% approval rating. Even Bush's rating is running around 38%. If conservatism is on the outs, why is Bush getting higher approval ratings than Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden?

If conservatism is on the outs, why did a poll regarding Elliot Spitzer's immigation plan (to grant IDs and rights to illegal immigrants) show that New Yorkers were against it by 72%? New York... that's a blue state, isn't it?

Something is wrong with your basi premise, Excon. Conservatism isn't suffering the demise you think it is. The Republican Congress suffered a major demise in 2006, yes. But that was because they were acting like a bunch of drunken Democrats rather than conservatives. The people want their elected officials to be MORE conservative, not less.
