It depends on the social issue.

The simple fact is that conservatives aren’t going to win without picking up at least some of the libertarian vote. Personally I think a compromise on drug legalization might be enough but I have yet to see a libertarian willing to accept decriminalization is a reasonable compromise.

The only other issue is gay marriage and that’s not a compromise conservatives should be willing to accept.

By now you should know that you can't compromise with the left, they never stop.

Either libertarians will vote for our economics and choke down that they are allowing conservatism, or they will vote for the democrats on social issues, and choke down that they are supporting democrat economics, and that social conservatism is all that works for economic conservatism.

At some point, individual libertarians will grow up enough to realize that social liberalism makes economic conservatism and small government, impossible.
