Libertarians are not conservatives. Having to pander to them also costs the GOP a huge number of social conservative votes in every election.

Please do tell us how the GOP has pandered to the libertarian voters in every election.

I never would have guessed. Can't they make a common cause?

How were libertarians ever pandered to? It wasn't by making the No Child Left Behind law, Medicare Part D, Campaign Finance Reform, an obscene number of earmarks or GWB's promise to renew an Assault Weapons Ban, whatever that was. What are you smoking?
