I hate it when this happens . . .

I tend to agree with Democrats almost as often as I agree with Republicans. The only difference is that I tend to agree with Democrats about subjects that I barely care about (abortion, gay marriage and the right of everybody to burn the American flag) and with Republicans about things I care about intensely (killing jihadis and their sympathizers without mercy, keeping taxes low, tort reform, and spending as large a portion of the federal budget on defense as is conceivably worthwhile). So I usually vote for Republicans.

Yeah, that's pretty close to where I am.  We'll quibble over "gay marriage" vs. "civil union" (i.e. I think there is a positive public good served by giving preferential treatment, let's call it "marriage," to heterosexual couples who choose to procreate, but I concede that this is perhaps a debatable point).  Otherwise, what Tigerhawk writes is pretty close to what I think, too.
