Why the GOP is "perceived" to be out of touch

[stegosaurus]

Liberals talk just about their radical positions gay marriage and abortion as much as Republicans do.  Its just that Democrats are not hounded by the liberal media. 

Incorrect.  Not one democrat over the last year has spoken about the "fringe issues" as the economy continues to struggle.  There's the difference.

Yeah, because repealing DADT was imperative to ensuring economic stability.

There are three branches of government here in the United States.  Obama is the head of the EXECUTIVE branch.

The JUDICIAL branch struck down DADT.  Obama tried to delay the judicial branch's decision from taking effect immediately.

Let's try and discuss the FACTS.

Congratulations, you have a rudimentary knowledge of the "separation of powers". I was only illustrating that it's absurd to suggest that those in the Democratic Party haven't touched on social issues during the economic downturn. Equally absurd would be to suggest that to do so would be indicative of some level of incompetence. Even though social issues are not the primary focus, to pretend they simply don't exist is intellectually lazy and reckless.
