Of course. John McCain and Rudy Giuliani are liberal or moderate Repubs. Joe Lieberman is a conservative Dem. There are many variations within the parties. Don't let people convince you that it is black or white.

yes, Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt and Nelson Rockefeller were liberal Republicans. Many Democratic governors and Senators from the South and Midwest from the Civil War up until the 1990s were conservative, notably George Wallace, Zell Miller, Richard Russell. Al Gore and Dick Gephardt were once conservative Democrats, probably not anymore.

there is in recent times, because you've were given this man made huge huge difference of "societal values." earlier to the 1950's or so, the US fairly a lot understood a similar societal norms and mores. The racism complicated each and every thing. yet I nonetheless pick to discuss the position i can, that Martin Luther King, Jr. replaced right into a Republican. For inspite of it really is nicely worth. i can truly in straightforward words communicate as a Republican, it really is what i have continually been. yet in some Republican circles, i'm considered liberal. i don't believe of we march in step. i'm solid with that.

I consider myself a conservative democrat. I'm conservative on issues such as gay marriage, abortion, and most things considered to be moral issues. I'm a democrat as far as the other issues are concerned, like Iraq, the economy, taxes, education, etc.

yes. there is a wide variety and no two people see the same things in government and politics. I am a very VERY liberal democrat, but I see where a lot of my conservative democrat and liberal republican friends get their views. it's all in what you believe is right... you cant really label.

There are... If I remember correctly, the term Dixicrat refered to Southern Conservative Democrats.
But, I would say that either of those labels wouldn't necessarily be somebody on the extremem either way. In other words, they'd be just left of center or just right of center.
That said, it would also depend on who you asked about a given person. I've heard somebody say that Clinton was a conservative. Huh?? I'm a Dem and wouldn't consider Wllie a Con. Left of center is probably closer to the truth.

Your liberal republican would be Arlen Specter. There is one Senator who could be considered a conservative Democrat, but his name slips my mind right now.
Specter is a big disappointment and one of the reasons I changed to a registered Independent. I'm tired of the lies and BS from BOTH parties.

The majority of the population, those who can think for themselves anyway, are no so far to the right or left as some of these crazy's running the shows would have you think. Not all republicans are for the religious right, as not all liberals are for a communist United States.

Perhaps a good example of a liberal republican might be Chuck Hagel.

Absolutey. Examples: John McCain & Joe Leiberman. I'm a conservative and I have more respect for Leiberman than I do for John McCain.
