Inevitably, the GOP is going to have to embrace libertarianism to survive.

Yes, I realize that sounds extremely cocky of me to say, but considering how Olds are dying off and thus social conservatism it may be the only way out.  With lack of social issues to defend, the right in this county will be further forced to stand consistent on issues of fiscal conservatism, or die.

Because frankly, I don't see people voting for the "not as economically left" party in the future if the positions on social issues aren't that dissimilar.  The GOP is going to have to get hard on (pardon the pun) on the fiscal conservative bandwagon in order to make a real effect.  No more petty rhetoric, like in the Reagan years, about reduced government.

Anybody who is serious about government reduction and fiscal conservatism should be excited about the death of social conservatives.

Just my two cents.
