Definitely. I'm pretty moderate, but lately the Republican party (or at least a very vocal minority therein) has just seemed far, far too out of touch with reality to me. However when Rand Paul talks I listen and consider carefully what he has to say. I don't always, or even usually, agree with him - but I respect him and his principles. I can't say the same for many other current Republican leaders.
