Sounds like there might be some internal power struggles going on in the party. I think if the PCs want to be taken seriously in the long term they're going to need to need to stop trying to court the social conservative vote. It's a base that's getting smaller and smaller as time goes on.
At the same time they are hard pressed not to - the centre is crowded, and they can't make a convincing case for it without alienating the base.
