I am for many libertarian principles but not all, just as I'm against some Republican platform statements or legislation. The biggest problem I have with Libertarianism as a political movement is that it divides the anti-Marxist segment and thereby allows the Marxists to win. If you're genuinely against Socialism but don't want to give in to some of the Establishment Republicans then work INSIDE the GOP to takeover the Republican Party the way the out-and-out Communists and anti-Westerners have taken over the Democrat Party.
A vote for an authoritarian is a lost vote. I don't see that an authoritarian Republican is different than a different authoritarian. Maybe both sides will see enough lost elections due to good candidates screwing things up that they'll attempt to get good candidates themselves one day.
