I am a liberal repub. I consider myself to be socially liberal but strongly believe in free markets, strong military, and a small gov't. Unfortunately, W has really let me down by increasing the size of gov't during his admin. I think McCain seems commited to limiting the size of gov't. If I had to prioritize(in a very simplistic way) the things that are important to me it would be 1) keep us safe 2) keep taxes low and maintain a market place where entrepreneurs and business can flourish. That is why I will be voting for McCain because imo he seems the most committed to those 2 things.
