Ron Paul.

I don't agree with much of his politics but every now and then he does have smart ideas. Reading through his political positions is pretty much "no, no, yes, NOOO!, yes, maybe, no,..."

Ron Paul is probably the poster child for this. Rand is too, to a lesser extent. He's right about the drone strike policy and the Patriot Act, but goes way off the deep end on many other issues.

Bill O'Reilly.  He may say some incredibly dumb things, but I cheered when he defended JC Penny's use of Ellen as a spokeswoman.

Dan Quayle.  For all the mockery he got for criticizing Murphy Brown's single mother status, he turned out to have a point.

And what point would that be? Feminists and Hollywood ruined families?

And that "potato" is spelled with an E?
Still can't think of a signature a year later.

No, that single parenthood can be harmful to a child's development.

He had a point there.

It's too bad he was blaming a fictional character from a TV show. Also, and that this was during a speech on the LA Riots. Seriously, it sounded like a huge non sequitur at the time.

Yeah, I didn't say it was all that smart in context, I just said he had a point.

You know, I think this thread needs an antithesis thread.  Like, stuff that pisses you off about people you normally agree with.

The NRA.  I'm pro gun, but I'm not a fan of the NRA.  I think they represent the interests of gun manufacturers rather than gun owners.  However, I do appreciate the fact that they teach gun safety.

Israel in general. I don't support theocracies that try to do Apartheid 2: Electric Boogaloo, but at least their military isn't sexist.
