I am a fiscal conservative and liberal when it comes to social issues. Which candidate comes closest in your opinion? Don't you think there is a vast minority who would like to see a candidate with these same values?

Welcome to the fold, then. By social issues are you refering to equal rights issues or social spending?
 
Really depends on your social issues...

Ron Paul and John Huntsman are probably your closest bet.
 
There are probably a lot more of you out there than you think. The problem is that fiscal conservatism isn't a real popular concept anymore. Though if you're really looking for a needle in the haystack try my bend.... Fiscal Conservative AND Social Conservative. Almost impossible to find in any candidate at any level of government.
 
No one is fiscally conservative. Assuming you mean by that to conserve money, rather than overspend. No one does that. It's just a matter of what they want to overspend on.
 
Probably Gary Johnson
