Libertarianism (as described--liberal on social issues and conservative on economic issues) is the driving force behind the Republican Party. Social issues matter far less, and far less has happened in regards to social issues in the last 30 years, than economic issues. Republicans preach a lot about the social issues but, in truth, do little to advance their announced social agenda which they use merely as a wedge to get votes. It's the economic issues that make us Democrats. The economic issues make us liberals.
The DLC isn't Republican-lite. It's just plain Republican with a (D) in front of its name.
The United States is a LIBERAL Country.:dem:
