Rand is a christian and very socially conservative but doesn’t believe the Feds should be involved and that states should set their own policies when it comes to drugs which is what they’re doing in Washington and CO ?

Rand is not talking about "libertarian Republicans" by accident. You realize that has a meaning, right?

The libertarian wing of the party wants to drop talking about the culture and social issues, would be happy with massive defense cuts, would like to stop sending money to Israel, is not much interested in whether Iran builds nukes or not, would like to legalize all the illegal aliens in the country, etc.

Rand is trying to walk a tightrope right now, but he can't hold the mask forever. Personally I like him so far, but I suspect he is much more like his father than he lets on (and I think his Father is loon). When Rand says voters are ready for a "libertarian Republican", it means something - and it's not a something that traditional and social conservatives will probably like very much.

Damn straight! I live in WA and while this will likely make me unpopular with many here, I voted for both of those issues in this state. Rearranging the deck chairs, no matter how righteously a party does it, on this Titanic of an economy is a sure loser.

You want to reduce abortion? Try economic freedom. You want to re-make America back into a good and just society? Economic freedom gives us the choice, the incentive, AND the ability to do so. Losing elections by being on the wrong side of domestic issues of liberty are killing the right side of politics.
