I'm not a Libertarian, though I agree with many of their views on personal privacy.

I'll give one example as to why I am not Libertarian. Being married to someone who is disabled made me sensitive to the issue of disabled rights. A Libertarian administration would never have signed the Americans with Disabilities Act, which I consider a crucial civil rights act. Furthermore, Libertarians would dismantle SSI benefits for disabled children or people who are so disabled they can't work, forcing parents to burden backbreaking medical bills on their own, and forcing severely disabled adults to rely on charity for their survival.
