On what issues do you disagree with your party's stance?

I tend to vote Republican, although I would prefer a Libertarian candidate who is sane.

I disagree with typical Republicans over:

Immigration - immigrants should be documented, US entry should be controlled, and our system is antiquated..... but mass deportation is impractical.

Gay marriage - Not that I am gay, but I don't think the government should be involved in ANY kind of marriage.

Big spending - What happened to the party of fiscal responsibility?

Abstinence education as birth control - Come on! If parents haven't already taught their kids this, what impact can a teacher make? Abstinence is obviously prefered, but not very realistic.

Farm subsidies - 'Subsidy' could be applied to many different government programs, but it all amounts to the same. Crop prices are having record years, and we are STILL paying billions of dollars to millionaires. *(I don not consider corporate tax cuts to be welfare, as long as they are uniform)

Update:

Be honest... Where do you fail to toe the party line?

    A Republican who disagrees with big spending, the Death penalty, and the environment. We are all liberal (the word is misused), but I am getting crushed by taxes in Liberal NY. Where I come from the Liberals are Socialists, and they cannot see what they've done to the poor (25% poverty rates in Upstate NY). It's not a coincidence, yet these boneheads keep throwing more and more money at the problem and it's all for the unions. They want poor people to vote for them.

    I'm a Staunch Republican but I dislike the Christian Taliban wing of the party.

    I disagree with the farm subsidies too, they should stop immediately.

    I'm a conservative.

    But I'm really angry about the blooming deficit.

    Gay Marriage is a state issue.

    I'm pro environmental policy - but I want it done where it makes sense to business. (IE, the Ethanol mess is more pain than it's worth, and the number of unintended consequences far outweighs its benefit.) But I want to protect our parks and green spaces. And as a sailor want clean waterways.

    Big corporate bail outs. If a big corporation is struggling, they need to either adapt to change or go under.

    As a Democrat, I don't particularly like the idea of welfare as it is now. I'd like it changed to have a per person cap. There is no reason you can't work for more than a year at a time unless you're injured and then there is disability.

    Immigration.....I say, send all the illegals back yesterday! I am so damn tired of hearing Spanish everytime I turn around. If they would but show respect for the fact that America is an English speaking nation, I might not be so damn angry!

    The Democrats support illegal aliens. I totally disagree with this. I don't agree with farm subsidies either.

    I'm a Libertarian. I disagree with my party on that all drugs should be decriminalized, I think that will hurt society in the long run. Other than that, I agree with them on everything else.

    I could be classified as a liberal democrat. I don't agree with their stance on providing licenses for illegal immigrants, political correctness, higher taxes, and animal rights(it seems as though animals have more rights than humans).

    I'm a proud Democrat but disagree with my party on their stands protecting illegal immigrants and antiquated labor unions.

    Social issues like gays, guns, bibles and abortion don't mean squat.

    I tend to agree with you.

    Conservative are just like liberals. they have an agenda they ar forcing on the populous.

    I disagree with you on several small issues.

    Immgration A path to legalization is prefered should be strict and any failure should result in deportation.

    Gay marrage should be a state issue. Changing s states law is easy either way. If you do not like it move.

    Abstinence education should be taught in schools birth control should be issued by parents. You argument works both ways.

    Rest you are right on.
