Quote:Your mixing Social Conservatives and Republicans. Yes there are more Social Conservatives in the Republican party but there are plenty of Republicans that are not and never have been Social Conservatives. There are also Social Conservatives in the Democratic party, far fewer than in the past but they still exist.


The problem is anyone outside the GOP assumes all Republicans are Social Conservatives so everything a Republican does gets reflected onto Social Conservatives. Same thing happens to Progressives and the Democratic party, anything a Democrat does get's reflected onto Progressives even if that Democrat isn't a Progressive.


The Duggars did portray themselves as Social Conservatives so in this case you're absolutely correct it's all hypocritical but I'm just pointing out sometimes these Republicans that get caught in scandals have nothing to do with the Social Conservative platform.
