Why are conservatives so concerned with sex?

I am confused as to why Christian conservatives support the Republican Party to such an extent.

It appears that the only issues they present when vilifying liberals deal with sex: same-sex marriage, abortion, homosexuality. Yes, the Bible prohibits them, among many other practices (see Leviticus) that are totally ignored in today's Christian society. Why are these private issues singled out so much that some Christian ministers (even, shockingly, the Rev. Billy Graham) feel compelled to cross church vs. state lines to indirectly (or not) request that Christians support the Republican ticket based solely on these sexual matters?

Why isn't more discussion given to the larger concerns of our society, as in Matthew 25:34-40: "?I was hungry and you gave me food?; I was a stranger and you welcomed me; I was naked and you gave me clothing; I was sick and you took care of me. ? Just as you did it for one of the least of these?, you did it for me"?

Which political party seems to you to express more concern in following these fundamental tenets of Christ in the more important issues facing our country today?
