Some of my liberal friends and acquaintances have at some point expressed liking Paul's positions. This is almost always because they've heard his controversial and outspoken opinions on foreign policy and dis-engaging militarily from the rest of the world (which I have to admit I agree with to a large extent). But when I inform them on the rest of his positions and voting record, they become appalled quite quickly.
