Somebody must give a crap about them or they wouldn't be talking about them.
The problem is what you call for is exclusivity, complete exclusivity of issues which is completely impossible. No party is going to have uniform opinions on everything and I frankly don't see the problem with talking about Abortion or whatever, as long the economy gets enough primary focus. The beauty of this internet age is you can choose what to listen to and what not to. If you don't want to hear a candidate's social issues, then change the station or pick a different youtube clip when they are on those matters.
And America will, when they give "by default" an electoral landslide to Obama next year.
If no one cares about it, why the hell does it matter.
Do you not see the problem with insisting the party cater 100% to you demands and 0% anyone else's should they conflict?
It sounds to me like you want to replace one group of arrogant, self-rightous people with another and it's all okay because your group is of course 100% right and they are completely wrong. Personally, I don't see any difference between what you want to do and what Conservatives have been doing to you guys, except reversing the equation. Purification has the same effect regardless of which direction the ideological pendulum swings. It doesn't work. You can't just drowned conservatives in an ocean somewhere and be done with them. You either have to work with them or place yourself in a different party from them. Thats the fact of political life in a polarized world and you clearly don't want to un-polarize the nation because you oppose a big tent party.
The GOP was out of touch in the 1950's when it was viewed as a party of rich northeastern Protestants. They didn't do very well then either. When Westerners decided to seek more influence, the answer from the NE Establishment was "Purge the nuts" and look what happened. They destroyed themselves within the party and the Democrats denied them consistent victory in elections.
