Usually they are fiscal conservatives, which is why they tend to identify with the Repub party. A few have crossed over, though, after becoming sick and tired of feeling as though they have no voice within their party.

An old friend from high school was proudly Repub and worked within the party. (He actually had a prominent position in another state.) He came out to his boss and was then released from his job. He has since become a vocal opponent of the party.
