The more we bring them up, the more we can push Republicans into going apeshit on the social issues and putting their positions on record, the more we win.

If they flip-flop on the social-issues, we can call them flip-floppers, and their fundie base will rebel. We win!

If they don't, they lose women voters, minority voters, friends of the GLBT community, etc. We win!
