That doesn't happen for the same reasons I was telling you that you educating yourself on politics essentially didn't matter: libertarians will generally vote republican regardless of the candidate's positions, so they don't have to be pandered to, and they're not a big enough unified voting bloc to affect primaries like the social conservatives are.

Stuff like affirmative action and welfare. Government intervention meant to cause social change that they view as ineffective, inefficient, and dangerously expanding the power of government at the expense of the individual.

There's simply no grey left in political ideology. Solid black or white. That's why we're f*cked so badly. Pick an issue. Align yourself. Then give zero quarter no matter what the peripheral issues are.
