I think the assumption (based on previous examples with the Christian Coalition) was that outsiders provided energy and ground troops—and would eventually be co-opted by the establishment. So no need to hit the panic button.
Difference is that the CC did not viscerally hate the party establishment like Tea Party did.
The GOP was/is guilty of becoming more libertarian than conservative, thus opening up the party to those vulnerable to Rothbardish voluntaryism, which doesn't just distrust any sort of government but actively tries to destroy it with fire.
If only this were true. There's only a handful of libertarians in the GOP and none of them are Rothbardians.
Ron Paul advocates all trend that way, some even more so than his more minarchist leanings.
That's the handful I was talking about.
Except Ron Paul is a Rothbardian. A friend of both him and Rockwell.
Ron Paul has a lot of Rothbardian friends, but I don't think he considers himself one. He's advocated for a "nightwatchman state" which doesn't sound very Rothbardian either. Even if he were an anarchist, I don't think that proves your original point.
