“It is time we start a party called the Fiscal Conservatives....”

Great idea in concept, but one problem with that is when a candidate announces him/herself as a “fiscal conservative,” it often means “far left on social issues.”

How about “Free Republic” party?

Kind of. However, most of those far-left on social issues are not really fiscal conservatives. Being liberal on social issues and fiscally conservative have inherent conflicts. They just say that for votes. I think it is important to have a name which unquestionably identifies what the party stands for. Right now the GOP brand stands for nothing.
