Homosexuality is a sexual perversion or sexual confusion, hense mental health issue. Abortion is the killing of babies. Why should either of these be supported by Republicans?

Because Republicans want personal freedoms and less government control.
Republicans used to be in favor of abortion. Bush and Reagan both were because it is consistent with their political ideology.
Then they realized they could galvanize the Southern Democrats who abandoned the party once they provided basic rights and civil liberties to blacks. So, the religious right became a political force and the Republican leadership catered to their views in order to gain votes.

Proof? The scientific community strongly disagrees with you.
Conservatives want less government regulation of BUSSINSS and more government regulation of individuals.
Liberals want more government regulation of business and less government regulation of individuals.
Conservatives like cops, the FBI, drug laws, laws against abortion, laws against gays getting married, etc. It's liberals who don't.
Conservatives don't like welfare programs, LINK cards, anti-trust laws, laws about where a business can dump toxic waste, etc. It's liberals who want more of these kinds of laws.
That's why.
Liberals want the government to take everyone's money so the government can support their immoral irresponsible lazy lives with welfare programs.
Liberals want what the MAJORITY of Americans to follow laws that are immoral and against nature. Less than 1% of Americans are gay. And most people are pro-life.
Liberals live in a dream world where there is no crime so they are against private security measures across the board.
They want to take all the money from the rich and give it to people who were irresponsible with their lives to do more drugs and have more crack babies.
Liberals are immature brats. That want daddy government to take care of them. They are in a permanent state of arrested development that's why it's "cool" to get high on drugs and have sex with your same-sex college roommate. They live in an immoral fantasy world where abortions don't ever have any repercussions.
Liberals are anti-military and security in general because they live in a world where apparently everyone loves each other and don't want to destroy what our republic stands for.
LIBERALS want to enact laws that the MAJORITY DO NOT believe or want.
Most liberals are just kids without any money or spoiled people who have no concept of the value of money (limousine liberals)
Disclaimer: Please stay on topic as much as you can. I don't want this to be yet another gay marriage thread or an abortion thread. Oh for the record, I consider myself to Libertarian and this is no way an insult to either Dems or Repubs :P
Republicans tend to believe we should be in control of own life. We need to take as much responsibility in our own lives and the government should have very little to do with our own lives.
Democrats tend to side with the idea of a more larger government run society. No I don't mean communism or socialism, please don't head that way either :P
..With that said, I find it weird that Republicans are so against gay marriage and abortion? We can all agree that both debates we can all have our own personal opinion on the matters. That's fine. But why would Republicans want to deny abortions and gays a privilege to marry? It seems as if with these two situations, they are ok with the government controlling people's lives?
Republicans (for the most part) believe in a free market, believe in less government for less taxes so we can keep most of our money, they believe in the absolute freedom of speech, they believe people should be allowed to bare arms. They would never want these rights (or many other things) to be taken away so "the government doesn't control it", yet.. these 2 issues are something republicans are totally ok with the government being in control of.
Why is that?
Your statements above explains exactly why you are a
Libertarian, instead of a certain type of Republican.
The reason gay, abortion is a Republican issue - is because
the ones making the most noise about it are the
evangelical right wing base of the Republican Party.
It is against their religion and they do not separate religion from politics,
legislatively or otherwise,
nor do they believe it should be.
I've said this before, they should all just join the Constitution Party
e.g the right wing, some tea partiers
and be done with their intent -
to bring the nation back to Christ
and to do so legislatively.

Ummm.... OK, let's (just for a moment) put aside your uber-inflammatory language and fallacious logic, your comment appears to have missed a key statement in the OP:

At best, your comment belongs on another thread. Here, let me help you out by pointing you in the right direction:

Well the bottom line is a pragmatic reason.....the Republican party is the home for obvious reasons, "Social Conservatives" & Christians . That is why the GOP is the Republican Party and not the Libertarian Party. It really is that simple. Of course those on the left would have you think they are just a small minority, but every person who has ever run for POTUS in the GOP knows better.

Yes but in the end it's only an theory which comes down to an opinion.
