Many libertarian-tilted people are fiscal conservatives, but they don't care about abortion, gay marriage, etc. They do, however, care about their security, hence they support WoT. I don't actually think the GOP has to chose one over another. They should fight for all issues, so their image of 'Fundamentalists Party' (which is bogus, created by the MSM, but we gave ammo for them) will not be the only image they have.

The problem is, you might be able to get away with it in localized contests, but where a Presidential candidate is concerned, they will have to choose. It's hard to motivate the Conservative base for a Giuliani type. A social policy Democrat is poison and would cause a 3rd party candidate to rise.
