Of course there's plenty of common ground. The greatest divorce is actually in political tactics. The Libertarian Party believers seem to think a separate party is the best route for affecting the change they want, and no amount of abysmal failure will convince them otherwise. On the other hand, other libertarians find this tactical model a bit weak.

Not that they all draw the same conclusion about the right way to go - they're certainly not all die-hard Republicans. But the Libertarian Party has been around long enough to draw some fairly good conclusions about how effective it is likely to be. By this point the majority of self-described libertarians I know of (even a few big "L" ones, like L. Neil Smith) hold it in a bit of contempt.
