Which party do I belong to?

Wife and I were discussing last night after a couple of bottles of wine. I think I've shifted from the GOP but I def don't call myself a liberal. Here are my main stances
Don't care about gays marrying
Don't care if pot is legal
Want tough immigration policies
Don't think rich should be taxed more
Hate the idea of Robin Hood- tax rich more and give to poor
Feel you should be drug tested for any government assistance
Anti abortion

Board will say (mostly) Libertarian.

Why do you have to belong to a party?

You're still republican. You've probably just become more moderate

I wouldn't consider him libertarian.

A few questions..
Would you vote against or for gay couples marrying and pot being legalized?
You sound like a Republican in a thin Libertarian veil (no offense)

Fair enough. His first two positions are what I traditionally hear from those of a Libertarian bent. The others are classic GOP.

I would be indifferent. I guess gun to my head I would vote yes to both

I have been thinking the same thing. I'm registered as Independent. I registered as that as an 18 year old because my extremely far right-wing mother kept pushing for me to register republican. It was a good way, in my mind, for 18 year old me to rebel against her trying to tell me who to vote for. 
I still say I'm conservative, but moderate conservative. Honestly, there aren't many politicians that don't annoy the hell out of me. I don't think I full agree with either side.
Eta: And I would vote yes for gay marriage. My brother is gay and that has, honestly, changed my views over time. And I'm tired of hearing them bitch. Yes for pot too, esp for medical reasons.

I agree with all of the above except the drug testing.
I once called myself a Republican. Now? Yes. I still vote Republican but that is far less a reflection of my love for Republicans as it is a disdain for Democratic economic/regulatory policies.
Frankly. There are times when I wish we were parliamentary where we had like 10 parties and one would be a lot more like what I agree with across the board.

This is correct. However, Wolf said "libertarian bent" not libertarian.

I think that drug testing welfare recipients is the one that I am most strongly for.
I had to take a drug test to get my job. They should have to take a drug test to get my tax $$$

Oh I think the majority of voters who pull the leaver for the GOP candidate are really just voting against the Democrat.
Their was a state rep race here years ago. Melissa Flournoy, a left wing feminist Dem. Ran against Max Malone, GOP who never ran for office.
Malone's campaign theme: "My major qualification is that I'm not Melissa Flournoy." He won by a landslide.

While I'm emotionally very attracted to the drug testing idea, I cannot support giving the government any additional powers.
