What would happen if the GOP goes Libertarian?

[Bleeding heart conservative, HTMLdon]

It depends on what brand or sort of "Libertarian" we are talking about.

I believe there is great success for the Republican Party in promoting the virtue of individual responsibility and less government intervention in the private and public lives of the individual.

However, there is nothing but failure ahead for any Party that falls off the cliff into the realm of hostility to the basic functions of a modern government.   Many people who call themselves "Libertarian" (or conservative) have simply found an ideological dwelling place for their pursuit of selfishness and indecency towards their fellow man.

I'll gladly take a social conservative with a heart for people and God's creation over an ultra-ideological libertarian self-ist who has no concept of being "their brother's keeper".

We call those people "Republicans."

Admittedly, there are some who do call themselves Republicans.  Thats why we need more Republicans who don't fit that description.
