Hi Perdition
The question was not what they are but
who they are: name names.
Fiscal conservatives generally either don't cre about the social issues, or can even be liberal with respect to them, but don't want a large government or a lot of governmental spending. They're usually for lower taxes.
Correction: they are usually for balancing the budget and responsible spending.
There are many financial conservatives in the democratic party.
There used to be a majority of financial conservatives in the republican party, but they have been run over by religious conservatives.
Social conservatives focus on social issues, such as gun rights, gay marriage, mandating religion, abortion, etc and make up the majority of the Republican base.
Which can be broken down into religious conservatives and ethical conservatives, where the religious conservatives try to impose religious dogma on people, laws and government, while ethical conservatives try to encourage laws and behavior that are ethical.
This would include laws for greater equality for all people, gays, immigrants, women, etc etc etc. The gay republicans would fit in this group.
Do you deny that the religious conservatives have taken over the republican party?
Enjoy.
