The opposition to gay marriage and abortion comes from those who would never participate in such things. So why the opposition? It's not like allowing gay marriages and abortions will lead to the right's children turning gay, getting married, and aborting all their little gay babies. What they are doing is foisting their morality on others.

Too inflexible and ideological in my opinion. Saying that tea partiers should have no opinion on social issues is like saying atheists should have no opinion on religious matters...such as where religious insitutions - mosques, for example - should or should not be built. But of course they do. When they say less intrusive government, do you really think they mean 100% less intrusive, zero government intervention, period? I don't think so myself, for this implies they are incapable of managing their own communities. And like pan was saying, different parts of this country hold vastly different beliefs (and to differing degrees) across the entire political spectrum.
