11. Ron Paul is a true-blooded libertarian |

which is a rarer species than a conservative Democrat or a liberal Republican. He has an excellent grasp on the problems with the banking system, and how being off the gold standard has caused serious harm. After that though is where he starts to make everyone on all sides mad, as he pushes for a strict system of limited government. That hits the war hawks because of his non-intervention, liberals hate his no votes on virtually all government spending, the neocons loathe his opposition to the Patriot Act and unauthorized surveillance.
