Depends what you call "liberal" and "conservative". I oppose affirmative action (though I arguably oppose it from the left), I oppose legalizing prostitution and I'm undecided regarding soft drugs. I'm also generally supportive of free trade (though with major caveats regarding developing countries), and support foreign intervention in order to stop violations of human rights.

Why?

I've heard the reason (elected) Democrats have opposed means-testing Social Security is because they fear the public support for the program will drop significantly once people start viewing it as a welfare program.

The real problem is the lack of public support for broad social welfare policies.

I favor amnesty
I support abortion
I support limited gun control
I support gay marriage
I oppose auditing the fed
I oppose government drug tests for welfare
I support a progressive income tax
I support increased government spending during recessions
I support some regulations on the finance industry
I support the green movement

I think that does it.

I think you're the first person I've seen here with negative social/economic scores and a Republican avatar.
