One of the problems the Libertarians have is that Libertarians have staked out some fairly extreme positions that aren't attractive to most libertarians, so they don't become Libertarians. Gary himself is more of a libertarian than a Libertarian.

There's a real untapped portion of the American public that is basically in favor of classic liberalism (socially inclusive, fiscally responsible) that a Libertarian Party should be representing, but the leadership of the LP seems all tied up with Misesian economics and resisting even the least bit of regulation on firearms.

I think more then likely what you are describing in the future of the Republican party, rather then the Libertarian one. The Libertarians have some very extreme and unpopular things in their platform and it would be a daunting task to replace the Republican party. Social and religious conservatives are almost all old people with disproportionate power because old people turn out to vote and young Republicans do tend more towards soft L libertarian like you described. Fiscally conservative but socially moderate. Libertarians, or rather the libertarian party aren't fiscally conservative. They are fiscally Libertarian, which is very different. I don't think people in large will ever be on board with things like :

Abolishing the Department of Education
Abolishing the EPA
Abolishing all public health
Abolishing the Federal Reserve
Legalizing hard drugs
etc etc etc

How about, abolish the IRS. I could definitely be on board with that.
