We need a socially liberal (and I don't mean welfare-state liberal),

Libertarian party (http://www.lp.org/article_85.shtml):

"Unlike liberals or conservatives, Libertarians advocate a high degree of
both personal and economic liberty. For example, Libertarians agree with
conservatives about freedom in economic matters, so we're in favor of
lowering taxes, slashing bureaucratic regulation of business, and
charitable -- rather than government -- welfare. But Libertarians also
agree with liberals on personal tolerance, so we're in favor of people’s
right to choose their own personal habits and lifestyles."

P.S. This thread is definitely way off topic. While I agree with Jay's
complaint, there are other forums where these political issues are on
topic.
