The only significant change I've really had in my view was from a more hawkish view of foreign policy to a pragmatic dove (dove with claws). I dutifully voted for McShame only because of Palin but really wanted to vote for Baldwin. My economic views average always been in favor of Austrian Free Market Economics (as touted by Ron Paul). Socially I've consistently been pro-life, pro-traditional marriage/family, anti-gambling. Lately after further reading of both the Bible and the Constituition I've adopted a more states rights approach to social matters while advocating social conservatism. As for drugs, I've also adopted a states rights position while still promote conservative views on drugs.
You can't claim to be "pro-family" if you support anti-family economic policy.
