When will the social conservatives stop destroying the Republican party?

[Bill Lumbergh]

You hit the nail on the head, but it is a conundrum for the republicans. Remember those who are truly benefited by republican policies are very few. They need the religious right to capture enough votes to hold office. If they were to jettison the assault on personal freedoms, they would lose much of the church vote, and without that church vote, they would never have a chance at winning elections. They severely alienate the masses with their social positions, but those that are not alienated are profoundly loyal. In order for them to remain relevant without the bible thumpers, they would need to create a new group of followers that can be duped to vote against their best interests, and that will not be easy to find.
