Dana Rohrabacher
Dana Rohrabacher (born 1947; R-CA) is a long-haired hippie who dresses in black jeans and turtlenecks to symbolize anarchy, burns draft cards at YAF conventions, travels around the U.S. west coast singing radical folk songs about laissez-faire and smashing the state, lives in an anarcho-village of science fiction fans and underground economy advocates, doesn't vote, and spreads the anarcho-pacifist gospel of Bob Lefevre.

Obviously, an old libertarian like that would never run for Congress as a Republican, formulate the Reagan Doctrine, play second fiddle only to Tom Tancredo as an anti-illegal immigration hardliner, or campaign against gay marriage.

However, he is not a doctrinaire Republican. He supports medical marijuana and voting rights for DC (though with a bizarre plan to make them part of Maryland).
He's also been connected to Jack Abramoff, and was one of the few Congresspeople to publicly defend him.
