Well, I am too tired to pursue the semantic point. I will only say that those with an emphasis on "family values" consider themselves a distinct group, and only a few of them have gone off of Buchananish tangents.....

But the only social issues you mention as relevant are abortion and religion. Those are only the major issues. There are many others, a few are: pro-family tax incentives, breaks etc. (libertarians are against social engineering in the tax code), a "family wage" which enforces higher wages to low-earners who adhere to their social ideal, enactment of "moral code" legislation on the media, "zero tolerance" for drugs (libertarians want to legalize drugs and overhaul vice-laws), etc. etc. In short, social conservatism stands for high intervention in people's personal lives in an attempt to improve society as a whole (they say). Quayle, who identified the lack of morality as the root cause of crime, called for "zero tolerance" when it comes to drugs. "Quayle impressed me by sticking to the issues of family values," said Catherine McElearney '00, one of a handful of Brown students in the audience. Charles Kroll '00, a member of the Brown College Republicans, remarked that Quayle summed up the Republican solution to America's problems. netspace.org Is Quayle's platform ("social conservatives") the Republican solution or not?
