Good point… and as much can be said of the Democrats and the left-wingers.

There are a lot of Americans who, for example, oppose abortion on principle but want to know that is available as an option in the event that their promise-keeper daughter does not live up to her promise and gets knocked up by some complete loser.

And there are people who do not support or condone homosexuality but do not see gay marriage as a threat to the sanctity of heterosexual marriage and the family.

These people are going to be attracted to whichever candidate addresses their concerns, which these days are a lot less ideological and a lot more practical, and I believe they can be listed roughly in order as: jobs, education, housing, health care and security, from domestic criminals and foreign terrorists
