Ron Paul on Social Conservatism: ‘I Think It’s a Losing Position’ | CNSNews.com

Rep. Ron Paul R.-Texas., who is seeking the Republican presidential nomination, told Candy Crowley on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday that social conservatism is “a losing position” for the Republican Party.”Do you–are you uncomfortable–certainly Rick Santorum is the one who has been in the forefront of some of this talk on social issues, but there have been others in the race,” Crowley asked Paul.

“Are you uncomfortable with this talk about social issues? Do you consider it a winning area for Republicans in November?”"No,” said Paul. “I think it’s a losing position.”I mean, I talk about it because I have a precise understanding of how difficult problems are to be solved,” Paul continued. “And they’re not to be at the national level.

We’re not supposed to nationalize these problems. The founders were very clear that problems like this, if there needs to be legislation of sorts, the state has the right to write the legislation that they so choose.

And that solves a lot of our problems.”
