41. More important than winning?
so we can actually MAKE some change.
Gay rights and abortion, flag burning, etc. WILL NEVER GO AWAY!

Democrats will NEVER win on these social issues alone.

Social Security, Iraq, getting these neocons out of office, War on Terror, OIL,etc are VASTLY more important than my step mother's pro-life voting habits or my gay cousin's pro gay marriage voting habits.

Fact is, the people who are on either side of these issues have already made up their minds about it, the only ones who haven't are the one who DON'T vote because we keep bringing up the same old TIRED SHIT. Wedge issues.

Cons won't overturn Roe, too disastrous.
If they did that there would be a huge backlash against it.
This Republican Congress has had plenty of time to pass a law banning it, but has failed to do so in favor of CAFTA, Bankruptcy, Deficit Spending, etc.

Man, I just hate Social issues, they hold us back.
