I forget who; but I remember someone saying that libertarians are nothing more than confused liberals.

Libertarian ideology is almost diametrically opposed to modern liberalism (as opposed to classic liberalism). Their biggest flaw is that where their ideology runs counter to the constitution (and to be fair that isn't often) they always choose their ideology over the constitution. That is a dis-qualifier in my opinion.

That said, Rand Paul would still make a better president that any number of RINO scum (Jeb Bush, Romney, Chris Christie) poised to run for the nomination as their only "ideology" is unfettered lust for power.
