Hey, bigger government, smaller government. Who cares right? After all we're "big tent" libertarians. We should bring in all people whether they agree with statism or libertarianism. We should welcome everyone whether they support the non-aggression principle or not. How else are we going to grow if we don't toss our principles out the window like the major parties did? After all it's not about our principles, it's all about growth right?
