No but if you sit on different sides of the ideological spectrum on different issues, then likely you are thinking like a pragmatist. Well your probably not strongly partisan for either of the major parties (or at least if you are your not letting that get in the way of what you see as a pragmatic solution), but it might just be that you have an ideology that has positions that are similar to conservative republicans on some issues, and similar to liberal democrats on others. You can be something other than the standard issue liberal or conservative, say a communitarian, or a libertarian, or some other group that might be too small to even have a name, or you may be ideologically committed to certain conservative ideas and certain liberal ideals without being part of some separate group or recognizable ideological framework. The concept of the ideological spectrum is a somewhat useful tool, but its not really like the only choices are how much to the right or left you are. Even the more complex two and three dimensional extensions of the idea are vast oversimplifications of existing and possible political positions.
