on which side of the aisle do you sit?

If none of the options float your boat, then feel free to explain your leanings.

Which isle? Hawaii? Tahiti? Cuba?

I tend to be left socially and fiscally. That's all.

Your poll is going to be hard to interpret.

I'm uncertain ( when it comes to the details ) what a fiscal conservative is. Obama brought up how government structures revenues as well as their spending. I think the traditional idea of a fiscal conservative is related mostly to restraint of spending versus who is left off the hook tax-wise.

Socially I lean to the left, mostly; but I do tire of the success of some low brow culture that appeals to the lowest common denominator and is "cheap to produce" and therefore plentiful.

I often wonder why there isn't more attention paid to the option of being centrist. You have the "We'll tell you what God wants you to do" people on the one hand, and the "If you can get away with it, then do it" people on the other. I hope some of the extremists on both ends get their asses kicked big time, sooner versus later.

Generally, fiscal conservatives believe in lower levels of taxation and spending. They are also often believers in a balanced budget, but not always (see: Reagan, Ronald).

Fiscally conservative-Low Taxes, Low spending, stop wasting money meddling in foreign affairs.

Socially Liberal?-Drugs, Guns, Pro-Abortion, shred the Patriot Act.

Ron Paul is pretty close to my ideal presidential candidate.

I don't even know how to answer this anymore, politics is so crazy now. I am for the average person, that's all I know and I don't think either party is anymore, not in reality.
