Already stung by the Romney campaign’s reaction to the Chick-fil-A battle, social conservatives are openly voicing doubts that their concerns will receive much more than lip service at the GOP convention.From tea party leaders to battle-scarred veterans of the culture wars, conservatives are warning that the morale of the GOP base will suffer if social issues are shoved to the side of the stage in Tampa.
“I think social conservatives are puzzled as to Romney’s effort, or lack thereof, toward intensifying the turnout of social conservatives,” former Ohio Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell told Newsmax on Tuesday.

On Tuesday, ABC and NBC’s morning shows omitted covering President Obama Monday night attack on Mitt Romney at a fundraiser in Connecticut, that the GOP presidential candidate is “like Robin Hood in reverse. It’s Romney Hood.” However, Good Morning America and Today both reported on the “security scare” for the President, after two small planes flew into restricted airspace.
The same day, CBS This Morning played the clip of Obama’s “Romney Hood” attack not once, but twice. Correspondent Nancy Cordes did note that the Democrat headlined a $500-a-plate fundraising dinner and how “the President headed to an even pricier fundraiser at the Connecticut home of movie mogul Harvey Weinstein.”
