I find it helpful to at the very least split into social vs. fiscal conservatives. It is easy to be socially liberal and fiscally conservative, or socially conservative and fiscally liberal. G. W. Bush was socially conservative and fiscally liberal.

Of course you can split things much further than that; nothing really stops you from being an anti-abortion otherwise-social-liberal, but I really think failing to split out social/fiscal leaves you really baffled by who is aligned with who.
