The need for consequentialist libertarianism

The recent defection by Arlen Specter from the Republican Party along with John McCain’s embarrassing loss in 2008 is a strong indication that the Republican Party which was hijacked by Neoconservative terrorists for two presidential terms, is now losing steam.
