I would respectfully disagree on that, simply because they do put up anti-abortion and anti-gay marriage laws. They also work to get judges appointed that support those things.

So (unfortunate in a way, from my perspective) they do try to do something about those things.

Where I definitely think they play the game you are talking about is when they start up on things like flag burning. They know that's going nowhere but still keep beating that drum every few years.
