Beliefs and actions are 2 different things. And you know very well that a lot of the principles outlined in those documents get trampled on every day. For the purpose of this thread, I am pointing out the conflict between the principles of 1)equal rights, 2)the pursuit of happiness and 3)no state religion with those on the right that campaign against **** marriage.
As you pointed out, I think most people would want to agree with and believe in those documents. Neither party does a very good job upholding those principles. The dems aren't going to change. The GOP is looking to rebrand themselves(think they met in Williamsburg to discuss it). If the GOP wants to convert some voters, they need to reframe their arguments and their presentations around the beliefs in those principles and documents that, as you imply, everyone believes in.
Both parties are **** themselves over by embracing that controling the federal government is what we should be doing because "our side does it better." What one party or another needs to agree to do is get rid of federal control and return it to it's natural power in the states for most everything.

It's funny when you guys whine about "victim mentality" and then claim you are "victims" of the mainstream media.
Who watches the mainstream media anyway? When the news programs are on the "mainstream" viewer is trying to figure out whether to watch a rerun of 2 and a half men or Everybody Loves Raymond.
The low info voter that used that one minute twenty blurb on the news to inform themselves on what's going on. If you did that you'd think the WH actually cared about the election props errr Sandy victims. They never know what's going on with Senator Menendez not once but twice. I'll never forget the woman that was talking about seeing Libya on the news and and she thought some guy name "Ben Ghazi" killed four people.

politicians are first and foremost about winning.....they will do/say whatever it takes....
if the repubs thought they could win by switching to pro abortion/pro **** marriage....they would do it...
but they know....and i know....it wouldn't work.....
you guys would be better off switching parties.....and trying to convince the dems to denounce gun control and high taxes....
I agree but probably not what he thinks...stop running Rinos like McCain and Romney...actually fight in an election and never agree with anything the Dems want to p****...run as real conservatives...they will win everytime...just about to think after they have failed so many times nationally that they are complicit in their losing to help the Dem ideology progress...time to remove the northern elites from the leadership and back to the south...
