The second and third ones are the only ones I find desirable, and the second one is only desirable if Obamacare is replaced with some form of universal healthcare. Am I officially a RINO now? Tongue

To the Jesusy Cruz types that are saying they'd prioritize obtuse market liberalization over Roe v. Wade... Well, I hate to use such pedestrian phrases, but "lol". In any case, I put overturn Roe v. Wade, but it wouldn't necessarily work unless we do what we need to to restructure society as necessary. Conservative laws in a liberal society would probably segue into its own set of issues, regardless of a priori reasoning in favor of them.

I think Classic Conservative is the only "Jesusy Cruz" type of person to not prioritize Roe v. Wade. The rest of us who didn't aren't exactly very "Jesusy". Tongue

Probably, but I'm guessing you'd have a lot less apostasies as a Democrat than as a Republican. It's hard enough being a pro-choice/pro-gay Republican these days, add being pro universal healthcare/against Obamacare repeal to that and you've gone full communist socialist Nazi Muslim. Tongue

You mainly identify as a Republican based off foreign policy, right?

Yeah, foreign policy and a belief that third parties are futile are the main reason I have a blue avatar instead of a yellow one. As for Democrats  vs. Republicans, I still think my views on issues such as taxes, gun control, and affirmative action line up more with the right than the left, although I will admit that the more "big tent" nature of the Democratic Party would probably leave with more ideological wiggle room if I was politician than the Republican Party would.

Out of curiousity, Goldwater, would you have supported a Howard Dean/Joe Lieberman ticket against Dubya in 2004?

Eh, probably not, especially without hindsight.
