Reply #11: Problem is for starters most libertarian politicians aren't really libertarian on social issues [View All]

While some people like Ron and Rand Paul may claim to be true Libertarians the fact is they align themselves with social conservatives on abortion. Not sure about gay rights, but they'd probably take a no help position on stuff like hate crime laws, as you know, it's big government telling privately owned businesses what to do (Rand's own words about the 1964 civil rights act).

And then not all moderates agree on social issues either, it's quite possible for two moderates to scroe nearly identical on a liberal/conservative scale test, but to disagree with each other on nearly everything issue.

I think libertarians would be more of a true Libertarian if we actually had a parliament form of government, or some other type that actually favored multiple parties, rather then just 2 big ones like our Federalism form of government does.
