Right, the real issue is that the Republican party isn't traditionally conservative anymore, it's an unholy alliance of religious nuts and Tea Party extremists being led around by the wealthy.
to F60 and toddw8-- I think most people traditionally get more fiscally conservative as they get older because they have more to protect, or so the thinking goes. And many of them don't get more socially liberal, so as the world becomes more liberal they seem more conservative by comparison.
