...The divide is so deep in fact, that it has even split the libertarian advocacy group Campaign For Liberty, a co-signer of the March letter, with its founder, Texas Republican Rep. Ron Paul, who is co-sponsoring the tax credit bill. Paul discussed his support for tax credits during a recent interview with MSNBC, arguing that they are not subsidies, as his critics would call them, but rather another form of tax reductions.

“I don’t consider any tax break as a subsidy. That was not a spending bill, that was not a grant,” Paul said, referring to tax credits for oil companies, a separate bill that Congress plans to take up soon. “I vote to always give tax credits, and I always cut spending.”

I have no inside knowledge of this, but it could've been done intentionally. It might be a way for the CFL to attempt to distance themselves from Ron during the upcoming campaign in a way to show the FEC that they are not trying to get Ron elected (CFL isn't allowed to endorse candidates per the FEC/IRS regs). If they show they publicly disagree with Ron on a few (minor) points then they would have an easier time defending accusations that they are working on Ron's behalf. Pure speculation on my part, but plausible.
