The reason that republicans are acquiescent and reticent about their positions is more fundamental than fear. By definition conservatives believe government is not and cannot be the solution, therefore why be a part of something that bothers you? Democrats believe government is the solution.

Democrats make decisions to help themselves and what happens to constituents is collateral benefit or damage. Conservative politicians make decisions to help their constituents.
