I can remember when some were saying Rand Paul was an idiot (not saying anyone here). Now all of a sudden he's becoming a rising star. Politics is a fickle thing.
I still think he has some flaky ideas but he is not as far out there as his dad. I will give them both points for being honest about their positions and sticking to their guns. I may not agree with all their positions but then I don't have to agree with everything they say.

Honestly, I don't think I would agree with any politician 100% of the time. For me to be satisfied with a politician, I would have to agree with them on all major social issues I believe in, as well as perhaps 80% or so with the rest of what they say.
I agree with you that there has never been a politician I agree with 100%. What really decides me in whether to support a candidate or not is my subjective judgement of how flaky their views I disagree with are. What stops me from supporting Ron Paul and libertarians in general are their notions on foreign policy. I do not see how they think we could realistically retreat into an isolationist stance foreign policy wise. They are either stupid or deluded if they think the rest of the world is just going to pas us by because we don't want to play anymore.
