I am amused by all the libertarians and anarchists fawning over Ron Paul given his stance on immigration:

He is wrong on immigration. I have no problem admitting that, and I said so to my friends when discussing Paul. Dead wrong on one issue. He's right on just about everything else though. This makes him a lot closer to my views than any other D or R I ever read about, Goldwater included.

This is a common tactic from poor debaters. If you're picking between a limited number of choices, and you pick one that doesn't meet some particular criteria, you must be some sort of hypocrite, even if the other choices are objectively much, much worse given your personal preferences.

There are a lot of people in this forum do the exact same thing: ie criticizing others for saying that the democrats or republicans are the lesser of two evils.
