Steele said that was just an example of how the party can retool its message to appeal to young voters and minorities without sacrificing core conservative principles. Steele said he used the argument weeks ago while chatting on a flight with a college student who described herself as fiscally conservative but socially liberal on issues like gay marriage.
Very few young socially liberal conservative is going to buy into that.

American culture and views are changing and conservatives need to learn that social conservationism is over and without an extreme external event, cannot be used as a platform to get votes. My generation is going to completely legalize gay marriage and for a political party to go against that is only digging their own grave.

But, I think this is just a pathetic attempt by Steele and the conservative party to pretend they can get the "best of both worlds" without actually picking a side. They won't be able to stall forever. They will have to make a decision soon or a rouge Republican will take over the party.

Some claim a rouge-faced Republican already has.

Wow. Now I'm waiting for him to defend slavery as 'cost effective'.

..and yes, I do know that he is black.
