14. The moral majority/christian coalition/baggers have been used

Roe vs Wade is going nowhere, gay marriage is being recognised state-by-state - all the carrots used to persuade them to vote against their economic interests have remained just in front of their nose. They got DOMA, and DADT as a compromise - that's all they got in 30 years. In every other respect the US has become more and more socially liberal, whilst their collective energy as a voting bloc has been directed to prop up an economic consensus that does them (or many other people) no favours.

Freerepublic is very interesting reading right now - almost everyone, including Bush, is a RINO, only Gingrich is the true conservative.
