Fiscally moderate, socially liberal!

@marionberry: I too was often a lone Republican in my poli sci classes (that's what I get for going to school in Boston).

Conservative/republican. Far right.

I am a democrat. I prefer "progressive" over liberal though. I think it sounds bad to say "fiscally liberal" because that brings to mind spending "freely" and it's better to "conserve" your finances. But the idea tht the government's budget is anything like a household budget is a huge myth. There is a reason the government increases the deficient during a down economy - it's its responsibility to spend money on programs and people that will spur the economy, even if that's something you would never do as a household. Things like SNAP have the biggest return on boosting the economy, much bigger than tax cuts.
I am "pro-life" (as much as I hate that term - I feel like it is so loaded. I do believe in the sanctity of life. But I don't tend to believe that oft proposed legislation is beneficial. I think we should improve economic opportunities for women, make child bearing and raising more affordable, and reduce the stigma of single parenting instead.

I usually identify with "moderate" candidates - though usually those are Democrats these days. I used to be much more fiscally conservative, but the more I see of the world, the more I realize that the current Republican policies just don't work. But mainly, I am just really, really sick of the inability of our *leaders* to act like adults and work together to run this country.
-
progressive through and through!

I identify as a libertarian. I was raised as a liberal democrat but as I got older and started really thinking about things, I realized that I'm definitely not a liberal. I typically vote libertarian or republican because I believe fiscal issues are more important than social issues for the long term stability of our country. I usually say I am fiscally conservative and socially moderate.
