Purely liberal and conservative third parties with sizable bases would no doubt form, so neither.

As one can call themself a 'fiscal conservative' with very little evidence or idealogy (I wouldn't bat an eyelid if communists started to describe themselves as such), that.

Unfortunately, whenever I hear the phrase 'fiscally conservative, but socially liberal', I always hear "I don't like poor people, but I hate when the family drags me to church so I can't smoke my weed'

Giving a social conservative the keys to a welfare state is asking for fascism.

Yes 'cause Adenauer was totally a fascist.

Obviously option 1.

Yeah I agree even if I'm going by the conventional understandings of the terms. Technically George W and Reagan could also be described as "fiscally liberal" since they both ran up deficits.

Who knows? 

The second option isn't even necessarily more libertarian. Someone could call themselves "fiscally conservative and socially liberal" because they want to cut property taxes and support abortion, even as they make frequent use of eminent domain and support the drug war.

That's definitely a political faction, basically Giuliani, Bloomberg, Schwartzenagger.

Not to mention that "Fiscal Liberal" isn't actually a term anybody uses to describe themselves, meaning that it could just as easily refer to economic liberalism as it could to any sort of left leaning economic views.

Fiscal liberal/social conservative because both Congress and the President deal much more extensively with economic issues than with social issues.

In the case where a major social issue is being dealt with in the legislature (upcoming decisions on marriage, etc.), I would vote for the fisccon/soclib.

Depends on the specific issues.

All else being equal, I'd probably vote for whichever one is the Republican.

Neither. I despise the so-called liberal-conservative spectrum.
