I believe what you are seeing is a lot of emerging 'fiscal conservative'. Dems have a hard to shake persona of big spending. That is obviously true is some cases and not others. And if you take a look at Bush, he is as big a spender as even the most spend happy liberals out there.
Folks are having a hard time giving right now. Every man (woman) needs to be able to pull their own weight. So, what appears as conservative flakiness is really a strong emergence of fiscal conservatives that are socially liberal. Liberal in that they feel that government has no business legislating morality. And they don’t.
Its a stay the hell out of my pockets AND out of my home mentality. That interestingly enough is most closely aligned with Libertarians.
