Your implication FBH is that you had to choose a Republican because it was closer to your values than a Democrat. Yet Bill Clinton had a surplus and Bill Clinton lead welfare reform--two clearly fiscally conservative major accomplishments-yet you came down on the side of religious "faith based initiatives" (ie welfare with the church getting a cut), intervention in the choice of whether or not to carry unwanted pregnancies to term, the use of the nations military to nation build, etc.....and note these programs are no more free than anything the dems have--I would argue its a lot more expensive in terms of both money and lives.

So sorry friend but you still support the expensive and intrusive aspects of the Republican party and the financial conservatism you claim to seek isnt the first goal or you would be voting for democrats.
