The Perceived Hypocrisy of the Republican Party

In 1964, Barry Goldwater ran for president against Lyndon B. Johnson. Goldwater leaned heavily to the right of the Republican Party. He championed free enterprised and ranted against large government. He was a strict constitutionalist who also believed in the moral health of Americans. He was also a gun rights advocate. Many Southern and midwestern Democrats switched parties; thus, began the Goldwater Movement. It joined social conservativism and the Republican Party. The tenants of the Goldwater Movement were simple: socially, the followers were conservative; economically, the followers believed in free enterprise and libertarianism. Social conservatives and Economic liberals joined together under the same tent.
Though Goldwater did not win his bid for presidency, he opened the way for every Conservative's champion, Ronald Reagan, who gave a speech for Goldwater in the 1964 campaign. Today's GOP prides itself in being "The Party of Reagan." Ronald Reagan preached smaller government, lower taxes for corporations to spark job creation, deregulation of the banking and finance sectors, fewer dollars spent on social benefits, cuts to education spending and mental health services, looser gun laws, and individual responsibility for crime (tougher crime penalties). That was 1980-1988. Fastfoward to 2010.
The problem with the Republican Party is that it looks hypocritical. Young people, who are not well-versed in history or political theory and who have never heard of Barry Goldwater, were born after Ronald Reagan or even George Bush elder served, do not understand how social conservativism and economic liberalism can exist together. For instance, most conservatives are against abortion but support the death penalty and war. So, conservatives would save an unborn life but take away another's who they may not like or regard highly? So, when the rich have to pay more taxes to support social/infrastructure improvement project it is "redistribution of wealth," but giving the banks and other Fortune 500 companies a tax-payer funded bailouts is not? Medicare and a public option are forms of socialism and that's bad, but allowing a few private companies to determine who is worthy of healthcare, what kind of treatments they can receive, and whether someone lives or dies is not a form of tyranny or even terrible? So, people should be free to choose when it comes to healthcare and medical treatment, but gay couples are not free to choose to be married? If Sarah Palin were truly a Conservative woman, why isn't she supporing her husband in the background while he commands the spotlight?
To younger voters, it seems as if the Republicans want things both ways. It seems like mass hypocrisy to a younger generation. How do they remedy this? If they do not remedy this perception problem, the party will dissolve as old, white male voters die and leave confused and angry younger voters who see their ideals as hypocrisy.
