Right Wing Cartoonist vs Reality

Social conservatives, as opposed to fiscal conservatives.Social conservatives focus on social issues, such as gun rights, gay marriage, mandating religion, abortion, etc and make up the majority of the Republican base.Fiscal conservatives generally either don't cre about the social issues, or can even be liberal with respect to them, but don't want a large government or a lot of governmental spending. They're usually for lower taxes.The thing I have a hard time figuring out is why fiscal conservatives continue to be Republicans. Republicans mostly focus on the social issues, which aren't the focus or are even against the fis-cons beliefs, and even expand government and government spending as much if not more than Democrats, just on different programs.

Nope, that's partly why I wondered why many fiscal conservatives continue to ally themselves with the Republicans, who seem hell-bent on moving things farther and farther to the right, in terms of religious/social issues but only pay passing lip-service to fiscal policies.
