Same here.
Thing is, I came to realize that social change and resulting policy really is still based on a mandate from the people. The politicians just follow the crowd and later try to take credit. The most obvious example of this in recent history is gay marriage. Obama denounced it as a candidate, then after being elected realized public opinion had finally shifted on the issue. So he dispatched Moron Joe to make a pro-gay marriage statement and once he confirmed there was little or no backlash, he then came out in favor of it ('evolved', wasn't it?). Then suddenly there were court cases everywhere looking for confirmation of new rights. The road to gay marriage was paved by people like Ellen Degeneres. The Obamas and Clintons of the world were nothing but opportunistic bystanders.
Fiscal issues meanwhile, are entirely directed by the policy makers and we are entirely at their mercy.
Thus, stance on social issues is the very last thing I consider in any candidate.
