zk, to answer your question, there are two types within the Republican camp:
1. Fiscal conservatives/social liberals: libertarians, like the Wall Street Journal editorial page.
2. Fiscal conservatives/social conservatives. I am one of these.
There ARE disagreements within camp #2, e.g., Duncan Hunter (Vietnam vet conveniently NOT on KJM’s list) is a protectionist, while many other #2s are free traders (I am).
The Republican Party has a big tent, and welcomes both libertarians and conservatives. And, Republicans wholeheartedly agree that our Congress and President have been a big disappointment on the fiscal conservatism side. But, we also know that the DemoRats would be worse on fiscal matters and dangerous on social and security matters.
