Lets give that one a try shall we? Take me for instance. I am a social liberal, fiscal conservative, international realist, and an agnostic to boot. Now, lets pick 6 topics say; War in Iraq, Abortion, Capital Punishment, U.N., Environment (tree huggers), and Taxes. Ok, so there you go people, I can’t wait to see the results on this one (actually I think this will be very interesting and quit fun too)

Let's see, I think you might be:
War in Iraq: willing to support our endeavor to the extent that we are already there
Abortion: unsupportive of government deciding medical issues
Capital Punishment: not supportive
U.N.: I don't know what you think about it. I remember that your work places you in close contact with organization. If the things I read concerning it are true, you would witness the extent of legitimacy it holds for a substantial part of the world. You might believe that some of our actions and rhetoric undercut its legitimacy and effectiveness.
Environment: maybe you think some issues are taken too far by radical activists. you recognize the need for conservation, but you may weigh that with the understanding that regulations can have a negative effect on working class jobs.
Taxes: in favor of a progressive tax. The meaning may vary, but you might think this means ensuring the rich pay their fair share.
