No, I don't, but they do, and their constituency seems to think the label fits. Your "perfectly valid points about definitions" don't have a lot of teeth in our politics - you understand?
My question to you is, if you think citizens are being convinced to call themselves Libertarians because of people like Rand Paul, where are these people in the Libertarian movement? Why have they not taken over the Libertarian forums? Why, when you search for "Libertarianism" on any search engine, do you first and foremost, find accurate sites about real Libertarianism?
If Libertarianism has been (or is being) re-defined, that would not be the case, which is why quite frankly I think you are full of bullshit on that particular point.
