So. What does sticking to principles and keeping promises have to do with libertarian priorities?

Another case where the headline and the article do not match.

You are confusing classical libertarianism with the Libertarian party.

What does sticking to principles and keeping promises have to do with libertarian priorities?

It's sort of like campaigning as being a supporter of small government and freedom and, you know, actually meaning it.

"What does sticking to principles and keeping promises have to do with libertarian priorities?"

The "commonality" must mean that Government Control over everyones' lives is a Priority of BOTH?

I believe that taking an Oath to "uphold and protect The Constitution" should be a Priority to ALL Parties, likewise, Federal Government limited to EXPLICITLY STATED Constitutional Power, not Reserved to the States, has been sh#t-canned by Activist/Over-Reaching USSC Decisions (like Anchor Babies, The Commerce Clause, Affirmative Action, for examples).

Didn't make any sense to either. I would think embracing libertarianism IS compromising.

The gop/e need to grow the party. I think that some of them now realize that these illegal mexicans will be more of a parasitic drain rather than a productive source of money. The gop/e are progressives at heart. Some of the libertarian ideals lean leftward and the gop/e think that they can gain members for the party from some liberal democrats... ones that are not all the way hard core commie like obama and company.

They also think that they can make us compromise on some of our Foundational tenets. Notice that they backhand “social agenda” and that is a code for religion, being pro life, and anti homosexual marriage etc. I belong to GOD and not the republican party. I am not alone.

The only thing republicans have in common with libertarians is a desire for small government. The rest of libertarian ideas are as liberal as the day is long.
