The first thing I thought of when I saw this thread was "national socialists".
In modern usage, "conservative" is used almost interchangeably with "religious" anyway. Bush's platform appears to be pretty much equivalent with right wing Christianity, so I will never vote for him, while right wing Christians are almost compelled to.
I don't really think along partisan or "liberal/conservative" lines myself. Perhaps other people would consider me liberal in a broad sense. I'm apparently about the only atheist in existence that opposes gay marriage - I have no ethical problem with homosexuality but I'm not fond of the idea of the government legislating a new definition of a traditional institution. One of my little quirks.
Prostitution I sort of waver on. I can't see a lot of positive things coming out of it, to be honest.
