No Social Conservative Relgious folks are not always wayyy far to the left. You would be suprised how many christians their are against abortion and against gay marriage. They just don't announce that fact to everyone because many Christians are very humble in their political speech.
Err, I think there was a miscommunication...I was referring to European Christian Democrats not being all the way Socially Conservative, just sort of center-right like me.
But you are probably right about Christians not announcing how they feel in public. And I am a pro-lifer with a caveat or two, and pro-civil union but not pro-gay marriage, so d*mned if I know where that fits in...
