Not exactly.

More like purists versus incrementalists, with for the most part common goals, but not always.

Libertarians are needed to push the ideals, and scream when a Republican goes soft, sells out, or gets drunk with power. Republicans are needed to reach the actual compromises to make progress with practical implementation, and secure the edges where pure ideology fails to work(relatively rare instances).
