General - Libertarianism? - View Post

My question is: why do libertarians seem to be so much cozier with Republicans, with whom they partially agree (market deregulation/privatization/etc.) and partially disagree (civil liberties/secularism), than with Democrats, with whom they also partially agree (civil liberties/secularism) and partially disagree (market regulation/gov't programs/etc.)?

Because they know that none of the crazy personal life/religious things the Republicans come up with will ever come to pass so disagreeing with them on those is not really a problem. ;>
