re: #154 cliffster

DeMint got himself a lot of airtime. My statement was that liberals love social conservatives because it helps their narrative. Are you suggesting that there are no liberal pundits, politicians, etc, who try and market social and fiscal conservatism as one and the same? None? That seems like an odd thing to believe.

Heh. No, I’m not saying that, though I don’t actually see many attacks on real fiscal conservatism. I see attacks on things like lowering taxes no matter what, which is not an actual fiscal conservative position, or cutting spending no matter what, which is not a fiscally conservative opinion.

That said, there are some people who go after fiscal conservatism of the principled type— as in, those who honestly believe that welfare and other entitlements are harmful in the long run to minority groups because they cause a culture of entitlement— as though they are social conservatives, when that may not be the case.

However, I don’t see many politicians, GOP or Democrat, espousing actual fiscal conservatism.

Now, can you please name me some GOP congresspeople who are not social conservatives?
