I know it's not PC, but in the last decade broader conservatism in the US has embraced an anti-science contingent. In the sciences, you might be a bit more reticent to hire someone that was a self-proclaimed conservative unless you could be sure that they were not anti-science (i.e. don't believe in evolution, believe in young earth, etc.) it might not be such a big deal in social sciences, but it would matter in my field. BTW wouldn't a conservative approve of the freedom to discriminate on these grounds anyway?
