Ron Paul is self consistent (more than you can say for most politicians) but his political views are very different to mine and occasionally are reprehensible to me. Also I doubt he has the ability to compromise required from a president.
Also can anybody explain to me how a libertarian can be essentially in favour of banning abortions? (which he would do through allowing states to ban it) The woman's right to her own body seems like such a libertarian ideal.
