The right also needs to learn that screaming for fiscal issues to be limited to what is constitutional falls on its face when they will fight for social issues that have jack shit to do with the constitution.

We're losing this country due to fiscal issues. But we cannot fix it because of social ones.

What a f'n mess.
The problem is that you simply cannot separate the 2. liberals know they blow a big donkey dick when it comes to the fiscal issues and will invariably attack every angle of every social issue, use every scare tactic, point blank make shit up, and do exactly what they did this year to anybody who challenges them.

It's a fairly simple strategy that unfortunately works for them. Target the uninformed, the ignorant, and the oblivious. Make the other guy out to be some heartless evil devil that kicks babies and shoots poor people for fun. That is enough to beat those who are informed in a national election.

Just look back. obama didn't even TRY to get the vote of those who cared about the economy. He simply conceded it and went after women, latinos, blacks, and promised more handouts to the poor.
