Don't kid yourself, defense lobbyists and evangelists, have a lot of influence on the GOP. The republicans have had a majority in congress more than once in the past 20 years, have they reformed entitlements? They know that's a hot button no one wants to go near.
Who says defense lobbyists and evangelists are conservative? Since when have republicans been conservative as a party? They're big spenders.
Conservatives want less government at the Federal level.
They don't when it comes to social issues. They don't want gays to marry or women to get abortions. Some just want it to be a states right issue...
Conservatives want government out of the marriage issue altogether.
Abortion issue is about protecting the rights of the individual. That is governments job.
Conservatives want government out of the marriage issue altogether.
Excuse me?
First, that's utter nonsense. Please cite one high-profile Republican who has proposed that the government stop issuing marriage licenses and nullify all laws related to marriage and spouses.
Second, which party was it that introduced the Defense of Marriage Act?
Libertarians want government out of the marriage issue altogether.
Abortion issue is about protecting the rights of the individual. That is governments job.
Fixed, conservatives in particularly religious conservatives do not. Libertarians are what you are thinking of.
The only thing that's utter nonsense is your post. You don't know the difference between a republican and a conservative so why are you commenting?

I said it was a conservative policy not republican. Pay attention next time.
Ron Paul has advocated getting government out of the marriage business.

What part of conservative don't you get? The republican party is every bit the big government freaks that the Democrats are. Just the hand picked winners and losers change. Again conservatives and republicans are two different animals.

Conservative, from the word conserve. It means use less of. Simple enough.
Do I see people calling themselves conservatives like Santorum and Huckabee? I sure do but they are for big government. Why else would they vote to raise the budget 5 times or raise taxes an average of 60 million a year for 10 years? That's not conservative, that's progressive all the way.

I wasn't just talking them, Cruz is a conservative and is against gay marriage and abortion. Don't give me this that conservatives want less government everywhere, they don't. That is libertarian. Don't confuse the two.

Ha ha ha, Ron Paul. I'm so sorry, I thought you were serious.
