Not sure. I may lean left socially, but almost every other issue I find myself very conservative. I'm for smaller government, fiscal responsibility and a strong military among other things. I find these issues more important than social ones such as abortion, yet I've yet to see a follow through on fiscal and bearucratic values that the party espouses. So I guess I vote democratic based on what history has shown me rather than rhetoric. I think if this were the 60s, I'd be a Goldwater Conservative for sure. Although I was very much in favor of Bush I, I must admit.
