I interpreted the OP as meaning that he/she was socially liberal, but totally fiscally conservative. I don't want to put words in her mouth, but if that's what she meant (and I think it is), then MANY Americans are just the same, so, certainly compatible.

Yes, but they usually say "fiscally conservative, social liberal" or "libertarian" when they mean that.

"Totally right wing" usually is interpreted as both fiscally and socially conservative. Hence the use of "totally".

Is this because of you watching bad liberal media on CNN, MSNBC, ABC, and NBC?????
Watch FOX News, CNBC, and Bloombeg for a month and see if you change your mind.

Very rarely are people anything like the political party they voted for. That is why I loathe the two-party system in this country. It is the most worthless pile of trash I have ever seen. The only function it serves at all is more a method to punish economic failures of the incumbent party. The media is just more there as a sideshow to blatantly obscur the facts to support their position, and to give us 24/7 sob stories about why Americans are still racists bastards that should give illegal aliens amnesty.

Why? Because I'm becoming more conservative and the universe is always trying to balance itself.

Research their past, to get an informed decision!!!!!!
Sadly, I suspect that is too much work for the average voter. As a basic rule, less than (fewer than) 60% actually show up to vote.
