I really don't think it comes down to archaic terms such as "liberal" or "conservative"... These aren't really brands anymore but PR buzz words...

Liberals these days believe in ficsal responsibility and obeying international laws... Hey, those are conservative ideas???

Conservatives have been silent during the Bush 8 year spending spreeand his nation building (i.e. wars)... Weren't that what liberal used to be accused of???

I mean, what we have are two fraternities... Each is willing to cast aside any position that is not the "in" position with various constituencies??? Yeah, poll driven politics...

There are no chizzeled-in-stone posotion of either what used to be called liberals or conservatives...

This is where the Republican Party has become it's own worst enemy because it continues to use archaic words in a modern word... Other than a very small minority of folks who still bite on that bait, most folks have simply moved on...
