I tend to agree with this. However, the degree to which the GOP becomes more libertarian on social issues is inversely related to the degree to which conservative Christians continue to wield influence within the party. At this time (and for some time to come, it seems to me) the GOP can't afford to marginalize the Christians, who have been among their most enthusiastic dupes.
