What I get sick of are people who say they are "fiscally conservative but socially liberal." That just means they want all of the liberal social big government programs but don't want to pay for them.

That's a distinction without a difference when people base their voting decision off of campaign ads and the media. Perception is reality.

Oak, there are a lot of voters who hold those views - being fiscally conservative while being socially liberal. Since the two primary political parties have taken the stances they have, voters who have strong beliefs on the two are unfortunately forced to choose one over the other. There are a bloc of such voters who don't like some of the GOP's social stances, but vote for Democrats although they would prefer lower taxes and spending.

Good article. Like saying, "I want Virginia tech to win. But I don't want Miami to lose."

Um, pick one.

And the libs who say this have picked one. They're big social libs, and well, probably, maybe it might be nice if possibly, it might be ok if we could maybe control spending.

Just a little bit. Maybe.

That's very sweet. Maybe our president and Romney should have worked together for our nation, instead of working against each other.

Co-presidents, yeah, that's it.

The Rs do this all the time. Have the libs ever been partisan, combative, or confrontational?

Opposition parties are not nice.

How about a monarchy....which is what themarxistts would like?

Work for you, everyone on the same team?

This is true. For those that fall in the "fiscally conservative/socially liberal" demographic, it's easier to vote for Democrats when their Republican counterparts have a documented history of increasing spending, too.

I'm sure there are some. But most seem to be libs who don't want to admit they're libs. Free thinking, sophisticated independents.

Or they're libs who think duh, we're spending and borrowing too much.

Or they're libs who think, duh, $17,000,000,000,000 in debt is too much.

Or libs who don't want THEIR taxes raised.

But most....most not all, are willing to suffer with the things they're against, in order to get social justice, open borders, UN policies like agenda 21, socialized medicine, gay marriage, more regulation, gun bans, unions and pc schools.

It's like we've said before re our president. Some from the left will criticize some of his policies. He's not god, he's like a demi-god. Brilliant but occasionally fallible.

So they criticize him but would never abandon him.

The social libs / fiscal cons are kinda like that. Most of them.

Since the two primary political parties have taken the stances they have, voters who have strong beliefs on the two are unfortunately forced to choose one over the other. There are a bloc of such voters who don't like some of the GOP's social stances, but vote for Democrats although they would prefer lower taxes and spending.

I have them pegged as Gingrich Progressives, those that think they can make a smarter and more efficient federal bureaucracy. They get confused as conservatives because they're for shrinking the federal government, but really just the waste out of it. Not really closing the fruitless intrusions all together.
