Non partisan political question?

Alright, I know very well that I am not the only person in this country whose political ideology does not fit well within the Republican or the Democratic Parties. I find it hard to believe that even those registered with one of those two parties believes in every single issue the party endorses. But there are no political parties for those in the middle who have beliefs that would fall among both Democrats and Republicans' ideologies. For example, I am staunchly pro gun, but I also think the U.S. needs to withdraw from the middle east entirely. I support tax cuts for the middle cl and poor, but not for the wealthiest Americans. I don't necessarily believe in Global Warming, but I treasure the natural beauty that our country has and desire more steps to be taken in order to preserve it. I am not overly religious but I lean pro-life. I support the free market and capitalism, but not to the extent of free trade. I support the elimination of taxes completely on small business and the continuation of taxes on the very largest corporations. I support less regulation, but when companies break the rules and abuse the system, I would favor extremely harsh fines and punishments. The list goes on and on. I know that more Americans than not have views from all across the political spectrum and so I want to know, how many of you can honestly say (even if you'd normally deny in front of certain people) that your views on various issues borrow from both political parties and are not just pure Conservative Republican or pure Liberal Democrat.
