So why don't they "take over" the Libertarian Party as the Tea Party took over the Repudlican Party. Socially liberal, fiscal conservative. Because they are not socially liberal. They are still intolerant of our gay citizens in their voting record, unsympathetic to those who can not compete,& they are anti choice. The body being the most private place of all can be invaded by government mandate. The culture wars are being won by the liberals over the decades, because conservatism is inherently stagnant & liberals by definition are tolerant.....of diversity whereas conservatives abhor it. Fascinating to watch this play out.
