This is why the libertarian position is so damaging to conservatism. If libertarians simply opposed the excesses of the WOD that would be a winning issue for conservativism and Republicans. But, supporting drug legalization is an open door for Democrats to win back the hearts of the American people.

Mm, maybe not. I mean, let's be honest and say that the Libertarians aren't going to be threatening the Rs or the Ds any time soon. Even the Green Party has more national members now. There are prominent Republicans who advocate legalization; respected ones too. But their views are not the majority of the party. Internal debates are important, but I don't see the Republican Party becoming officially pro-legalization any time soon. As long as that doesn't happen, the Dems sure won't be able to leap into the breach.
