So if we all become libertarians we'll be libertarians?

The problem is that people don't agree with libertarian policies. I'm sure herd mentality plays a small role, but the bigger problem is the larger goals of libertarianism aren't popular. I'm not mocking libertarianism, I just don't think very many people want to vote that way.

I'm a liberal, but there's a lot of social libertarianism I agree with and a lot of spending I'd cut out of the government. However, my problem with ideas like Paul's is that I honestly don't think they're the best ideas for the country. I'm sure you disagree, and that's fine, but don't act as if everyone who thinks different than you is some mind-slave of the political elite.
