100 percent capitulation to Obama on social issues is unacceptable. We had a moderate candidate who was acceptable to us. Perry. You folks turned him down. We had another moderate candidate who was acceptable to us. Cain. You folks turned him down.
Now you're demanding that we social conservatives give up everything on the issues we care most about. No sale. I'm tired of 'working with conservatives' who have no desire to work with me.
You are mistaken. We will simply be asking for capitulation on social issues between now and November. We need your side to be quiet about social issues so that the focus is solely upon economics. Why? Because that's how we win in November.
I guarantee a Romney Administration will be much more favorable for social conservatives than a second term for Barack Obama.
Romney lives the good Christian life. He believes in the sanctity of marriage and life. But that does not mean he wants to lose by talking about these things between now and November. There will be plenty of time to talk about such things over the course of a Romney Administration.
