Same here. Myself and pretty much everyone I know are fairly financially conservative and believe in trying to live within your means, but socially they are more liberal. These days, however, the political parties are so divided that both pander to their base so neither seems to actually embrace that type of attitude.
I think we are starting to see more and more of it on local levels as even some of the red states are staring to legalize gay marriage and things are starting to change slowly, but on a federal level it is still divided ideals as always.
