I am conservative on social issues, but am practically a socialist when it comes to economics. The social issues matter a tad more to me. I don't agree with a single thing Bush has done for the economy, but he is strong on defense, and strong on family values.

I think I've shifted over the past few months to slightly Socially Liberal/Economic Conservative catogory. I wouldn't say Im that much of a social liberal but I disagree with the conservative views on gay marrage, and some views on abortion.

You don't agree with the tax cuts? I agree with them as they are working. I mean my solution would be a lot lot more "radical" but I think it would work in the long run.

Social Conservative/Economic Liberal

My friends in democrat heavy W Palm Beach say I'm a "closet conservative", and my friends in Bush-friendly Houston say I'm a "closet liberal", so I guess I'm a moderate.  Given the above poll, I lean social conservative/economic liberal.

I would not be so terribly opposed to the tax cuts if Bush would stop going crazy with the spending. It's irresponsible. If he were to keep the spending and repeal some of the tax cuts, I would be fine with that.

Yeah the Hokies rock. I'm surprised you like them though. Next year they will be in the same conference as Florida State and the University of Miami. Or are you a Gators fan?

The President is not alone responsible for the spending. It is on the shoulders of the Congress as well. They need to cut back on
the luxuries of office. They need to stop giving themselves pay raises.

Yes, I am from Maryland and my wife is from Virginia. If I were to pick and Florida team I would go with the Gators over the other two. I try to go to any Hokie game locally and I want to go watch them play USC in D.C. in August.

I like Xavier. I can't stand the Bearcats though. I would rather Xavier beat us than say UNC

I know a guy who has tickets to that. Even if you don't like either team, it's hard to pass up a game at FEDEX Field, it's such a wonderful stadium

If I had to lable myself, I would have to say that I am a compassionate conservative/neo-con.

When it comes to social issues, I'm split.  I believe in strong law enforcment, but I'm against the government sticking it's nose where it doesn't belong.  

I am passionatly pro-life.  I personaly would never recomend someone get an abortion under any circumstances, but wouldn't oppose allowing it legally in RILM cases.  I am pro-national Civil Unions, but not certain about gay marriage, although I tend MORE toward pro.  

I believe in social programs, and think that they are nessesary and moral, to a point.  I am for government health care for the very poor, but not Universal Health Care.

I am definatly in favor of traditional family life, but aggree with the ideas of the ERA, if not the acctual amendement.

I am pro-lower taxes.  I don't believe that ANYONE should have to hand more than 30% of their income to the federal government.  Optimally, I would say 25%.

I am VERY anti-regulation.  Government regulation is the great thief of American ingenuity and enterprise.

I am VERY pro-military intervention.  I have no problem with interviening in places where we have no real interests at stake, in fact I believe it to be our responsibility to the world to do so.  WMD or no WMD, the Iraq War was the right decision.

Thanks, Supersoulty, you basically saved med the trouble of writing a post of my own. Smiley

I am really moderate I think on both issues, but I voted conservative on economy and liberal on social issues.

I'm socially liberal and an economic conservative, I think. I'm for big education funding, an increased space program and science funding. I think we should cut DARE (I doubt this is true, but I heard its budget is bigger than NASA), reduce and reform Medicare (I liked Dean's plan), and age the retirement age to reduce the Social Security budget.

I'd just like to note that Economic conservative/Social liberal has a wide lead over all other ideologies - woohoo!

Voted Social Conservative/Economic Liberal, but in reality I'm more of a leaner on Social Conservatism instead of all the way over there and am an Economic Centrist instead of a Liberal (I think StatesRights has some good points on National Health Coverage in another thread...). In European terms, I guess I'm kind of a mild Christian Democrat...

Ah, they're not so far right on social issues, eh? Interesting.

I *would* fall into the largest ideological group not represented by either party in the U.S... Smiley
