I think significant portions of both parties like and respect libertarian ideals. I know I do. But I think many in those same segments also recognize that the real world needs safety nets, because those ideals ignore those folks on the bottom end of the spectrum. History shows quite clearly that the rich and powerful won't take care of the folks on the bottom tier unless someone makes them do it.
The tough part is finding the right balance, and that is what most of the arguing is over.
