I'd support any center right party that doesn't have a majority of social conservatives. The GOP will always be dominated by social conservatives, foreign interventionists, and corporate interests. They do a lot of things well, but I can't ever support that party out right.

The Libertarian Party needs to widen its base to moderates who lean libertarian (like myself). Political parties can only be viable if they form a big tent and allow for multiple factions. Id much rather have to fight with minarchists and other types of anarcho-capitalists then social conservatives or those who support big military.
