[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5413143, member: 24302"] Taxes, the miltary, border security, business regulation, education, law and order. I'll give you the gay rights one. Not for a second do I think Obama was conservative on gay rights, but Republicans saw that being openly prejudiced against any group wasn't a hill they want to die on considering that if there's one thing the Dems always hang around their necks it's accusations of bigotry of every sort. In the last few years conservative gays have been pretty vocal and there are now several who appear regularly on FOX News. Obama was anything but conservative. He chose to go after healthcare first and the reaction to that allowed the Republicans to retake the House in 2010 which stifled other things he was aiming to do. The knock on him by the far Left was he didn't go far enough but the Constitution has built in checks and balances that can keep any administration from going too far if their party loses control of Congress.
