I'm fine with Rand and I know about his disagreements, and honestly I understand the game, that Rand cannot take the hardline, that he has a state-wide election to win.
I am not changing the subject, I am checking for consistency. So many people want to come on here and dig up reasons why we shouldn't support Amash, but on the other end, Rand gets a free pass because he is the son of Ron. I'm not saying that we should give Amash a free pass, skepticism is good, but over-analyzing every little bit of data available and looking for reasons not to support, instead of looking at the reasons why we SHOULD support him, is counter-productive.
Also, take a look at what his opponents have said about him during the primary. They are the ones who labeled him as a dangerous libertarian who is too ideologically pure to be an effective legislator.
While spending so much time super-analyzing his favorable comment about Paul Ryan, you missed the fact that he also mentioned F.A. Hayek and company.
Look at his voting record in the State House. He has a record to back up what he believes, Rand does not. In such an instance, I would put my weight on the guy who has a voting record versus the one who does not.
