...A more "libertarian" GOP would be even more unreasonable re: fiscal cliff.

Again, attempts by the GOP to become more libertarian are precisely the reason for the current impasse.  The sequestration and it's massive cuts are very reflective of precisely that view that government needs to be cut to the bone, which is the root of what libertarianism is: the idea that government is inherently evil.  The GOP becoming more libertarian is the GOP going further and further away from rational policies regarding government spending and the recession and becoming even bigger austerity hawks.  Austerity vs. the opposition to austerity is the number one issue in politics, and a more libertarian GOP will be even more on the wrong side.  Hopefully, they don't listen to Huntsman on this.
