Ok, call me stupid, dumb, retarded, whatever. I just don't really understand politics entirely. What are liberal democrats, compared to conservate democrats (can the two terms coincide?) I hear a lot about libs, but are there cons dems, or libs repub? I guess I don't understand. Definitions please! No slamming parties, I personally don't care your political viewpoints.

Yes, you can be a conservative Democrat. I would encourage you to do some reading and research and congratulate you for not blindly following the flock. A liberal/moderate republican in the past would be Barry Goldwater-you might want to read about him. A conservative Democrat might be Montana's governor. Brian Schweitzer. Also look at the parties' websites and see who comes closest to your views. Also, politicians may say they're for one thing and do another, so keep an eye on them-
http://www.vote-smart.org/index.htm is a non-partisan site and great for research! Good luck!

There are Social Conservative on moral issues, but are populist and even socialistic on economic. Yes, there can be Conservative Democrats. Also, there can be liberal conservatives with stands being liberal on moral issues, and take conservatives side on pro free trade, and tax cuts on economic issues

Yes. Actually Democrats are more conservative of moral and family values than Floridans ( I meant Republicans)

Yes most definitely...they are the moderates of the party..usually from states like ohio, indiana the south east...they sometimes vote with the Republicans....not many left though...the nation has become so polarized that most of them have been replaced...

Yes and some people are liberal Republicans too.
It's all about your views about how the govt should be run.
