<human>: Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?

ok this might seem a little odd, but i seriously want to know.  and before i begin i want to say that i am an indepednent, and honestly have absolutely no personal care or attachment to either party.
  
but anyway, all this bashing of Republicans on reddit (most deserved i will admit) and seemingly NO criticism of any democrats has got me a thinking.  If there was a candidate (position irrelevant) that was fiscally conservative, but socially liberal, would you vote for them / at least consider them?  basically, a person who believed in fiscal responsibility (lower taxes, budget balancing, cutting back SOME social programs / government divisions) but also believed in gay marriage, abortion, seperation of church and state and all that good jazz.  basically, a republican who isnt a total backwards, racist, religious dumbass.  i just want to get reddit's opinion on this, as it seems more and more people are becoming libertarian, and this candidate may well exist in the near future.
<bot>: read it, but basically would you vote for a libertarian if he/she was on the republican ticket over what we see today as a "standard" republican
