Exactly. Never yet met a libertarian who broke with the republican party on anything meaningful. They might have issues with the social issues but those always tend to be secondary to the economic issues, which end up making the social issues almost irrelevant. AFAIC any libertarian who truly cared about individual liberty the way libertarians are supposed to would never vote republican.
