Michelle, if you really want a socially liberal and fiscally conservative party, perhaps you ought to consider the Libertarian Party. It is as socially liberal as it is possible to be, and fiscally conservative to the point of utopianism. (I apologize in advance to any Libertarians listening out there.) However, although it is becoming more and more fashionable these days to call oneself "fiscally conservative", I personally think the term covers a multitude of sins as well as a multitude of virtues. Note that government actually often grows under self-described "fiscal conservatives." They like to slash relatively inexpensive social programs (note, for example, the cut-back on funds for English as a Second Language instruction), while boosting spending on big-ticket items like the military and prison construction... Beware, beware... His flashing eyes, his floating hair... jbe
