I have always wondered this ever since I began following politics actively many years ago. It seems to me as though many, if not most, Americans think of themselves as socially liberal (pro-gay unions / marriage, pro-equality, pro-reasonable gun control) and fiscally conservative (balanced budgets, low taxes), but neither the Republican nor the Democratic party represent these views. Why?
Cause America is a socially/politically/economically corrupt nation?
