...sounds to me that you are more libertarian that conservative; if so, welcome to the camp. I would pick two issues with you:
1. The palpable evidence of God (pointing out the fact that He is very much a laissez faire diety, leaving it to us to screw up our lives...rarely interferring in the wake of hardships, hurricanes, or human hurt).
2. Some sort of campaign finance reform is needed to return the American political process to democracy (currently, the electorate is voting for the candidate who can raise the most money through special interests or who is independently wealthy.)

"...sounds to me that you are more libertarian that conservative"

That was my thought, too. I have libertarian leanings, but my conservatism keeps those in check :)

for campaign finance.... I don't disagree with the principle but like rush has said in the past, just because you call something the puppy dogs and apple pie bill doesn't mean it is

Campaign finance reform is actually an easy issue to solve. The only people that should be able to contribute to a candidate is a individual that can vote for the candidate. If they can vote for the candidate then they can give as much money as they like. See how simple it is?

It doesn't limit anyones "political speech" and gets union, corporate, and special interest all out of politics.

Besides being untrue, this is a non-issue. "Why" people vote as they do is no one else's business so long as that vote is not coerced.
