I like Mike, but the GOP does not need to move in a populist direction. They need to care less about social issues and focus on economic ones. I do agree with him that a lot of the libertarians are crazy as hell because their views are so extreme, but I agree with some of their policies. If the GOP were to move to a more populist economic policy, they would just become blue dog Democrats. In fact, that's what Huckabee sounds like half the time.
So you want to concede the blue dogs to us and reach out to an ideology so unpopular no major party currently covers it? I like that. 
What ideology is that?
I am saying that Huckabee is a big government guy. If he had his way, the GOP would be no different than the blue dog Democrats, and the majority of the base and drawing of the party comes from people who want less government and lower taxes. Fortunately, though, the blue dog Democrats are mostly Republicans now.
Libertarianism, of course.
And the quasi-blue dogs are the bread and butter of the Republican Party. The neocons and businesses may set the agenda, but they know that they don't have the ability to win elections on their own. And that's what you're advocating.
