Fiscally conservative, socially liberal. I know Republicans are *traditionally* fiscally conservative and Democrats are fiscally liberal. However, this current administration turned a massive budget surplus into a massive budget deficit.
As my daddy said, "You know, the traditional, old-school Republicans are socially rather liberal, financially conservative. With George Bush, its socially conservative, and financially, its just one big drunken orgy."
So I guess if the Republican party were still controlled by traditionalists, I would be a moderate Republican. Things being how they are, looks like I'm squarely in the Democrat box. (I am a registered Democrat and all... although I have voted Republican for State Senator. But this was in Massachusetts, so she's still very moderate)
