One of the problems with the libertarian party is that they have been taken over by the Republicans. Many of the right wing social conservatives I hear from claim to be libertarian. Why? I think it's because they believe it adds credibility to their propaganda. If they are just republican robots, then no one listens to them. If they claim to be libertarian, and support the republican party 100%, it sounds better. I think there are a few talk radio hosts in this group as well. Libertarians in name only.
