Are you kidding me?
The GOP has run for the last 20 years at least on social conservatism and fiscal conservatism RHETORIC.
When given the chance to govern they were able to:
a) do nothing to advance their social values legislatively because those values are held by a minority
b) completely ignore their fiscal conservative principles.
We don't have a single true fiscal conservative politician in this country of any significance because they get run out of the party pretty effing fast. Look at a guy like Demint in SC. He is a true free-marketer and gets barely any traction within the party because of it. He voted against the Medicare bill because it was crap while the rest of the dumbsh*t Republicans rallied around our wonderful "Conservative" President as they passed into law one of the biggest spending projects in US history.
But to answer your question:
Abortion
Gay Marriage
Gays in the Military
10 Commandments in public buildings
Prayer in school
The whole "family values" campaign
Just to name a few
