I'm not trying to be cute either. There's no use in having all of your eggs in one basket. I'd vote for an independent or a libertarian if there was one worth voting for. If you want a socially liberal / fiscally conservative candidate, be a libertarian.

The Republicans are who they are.

This is why I find the Libertarian party appealing. Even though I know you warned me against jumping ship too fast because they are far to the right.

I'm definitely socially liberal (bearing arms, gay marriage, whatever. As long as you're not messing things up for me and getting in the way of what I wanna do, go for it.. is my motto) as for fiscally, I think I might sit on the fence.

There are some things (yes like "art") that I do like that gets funded, but other things like welfare is out of control and honestly, I think we're better off without it. I'm friends with people who are on welfare and they use that shit like a crutch. My close friend was considering applying for food stamps and I practically bitched her out. She works full time, goes to school full time and doesn't even live in state. She lives in an area with a lower cost of living than we do here. She didn't NEED them. Just wanted them so she could have extra money in her pocket at the end of the month. Pissed me the hell off. I bitched so hard, I talked her out of it.

But honestly, I'd rather have the government practically invisible than being Big Brother in my life.
