The problem is, however, that rarely are there true fiscal Conservatives who are also social liberals. If you're the latter, it's almost impossible to be the former, because increased spending and government intervention is required to be a social lib.

Many libertarian-tilted people are fiscal conservatives, but they don't care about abortion, gay marriage, etc. They do, however, care about their security, hence they support WoT. I don't actually think the GOP has to chose one over another. They should fight for all issues, so their image of 'Fundamentalists Party' (which is bogus, created by the MSM, but we gave ammo for them) will not be the only image they have.
