keeping your angel alive
In a perfect world.. I would vote for Christian Socialism that focuses on big business. But since in real life, that doesn't exist and I would just be throwing my vote away, I generally vote for da democrats.

I'm socially conservative and economically center-left. It's a rare pairing I know, but fortunately I live in Canada, which has a far larger number of (competitive) political parties than the US.

Utilitarian and libetarian.
The state should do whatever will bring the greatest benefit to the greatest number of people. The state should never limit an individuals freedom unless the exercise of that freedom further limits anothers freedom.
How one best achieves those aims is the sticky part though.
I find boiling things down to such simple principals is very useful in illuminating when you are being a hypocrite. Which while uncomfortable is useful to know.

As far as the Reader's Digest Condensed Version goes, I'm a libertarian - socially liberal and fiscally conservative.

Political parties are a political instrument. People need to aggergate their interests.
scipian
Czar
In short, I am for
Small government in economics
Powerful government in military/foreign affairs but don't want any more optional wars other than Iraq and Afghanistan (both of which I support)
States Rights (leave gay marriage, abortion, euthanasia, etc. to the states)
Libertarian on many issues (don't care about gay marriage, euthanasia, many such things)
And I'm very much a supporter of our small allies (Taiwan, Israel, etc.)
BTW- When I get old enough to vote, I'll be a Republican. Still, I dislike how they enjoy war (war is necessary, but never fun or to be taken lightly), how they've become big government, and dislike how they're first trying to take social issues to the national government (when it should be the states) and also how they get so defensive about stuff that doesn't affect them (gay marriage for example. I think it's disgusting, but don't see how it's my job to tell them to be good).
