[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It means they don't get worked up over things like gay marriage or right to abortion or things like that because it doesn't really matter to them and they are mostly concerned with the government's responsibility to maintain a low amount of debt (or lower the debt) and control spending in bloating or unnecessary areas. Frankly, they are preferable to the ones who want sweeping legislation over people's rights to healthcare choices or partnership based on their own religious beliefs. [/quote]

I get that. But what I've observed is that they tend to want cuts to the social programs that don't affect them: don't cut SS and Medicare; instead, cut food stamps, TANF and subsidized housing. [/quote]

Well it's more than they think government shouldn't be spending as much on areas like that that bloat the budget. They usually also don't agree with costly wars FWIW. It's not that they don't care per se, they just think a robust surplus is more beneficial than a government that works like a socialist society and funds tons of social issues. [/quote]
