The ideal politician
"We need more integrity in government. We need to be governed by men and women who are undivided in honorable purpose, whose votes and decisions are not for sale to the highest bidder. We need as our elected and appointed officials those whose characters are unsullied, whose lives are morally clean and open, who are not devious, selfish, or weak. We need men and women of courage and honest convictions, who will stand always ready to be counted for their integrity and not compromise for expediency, lust for power, or greed; and we need a people who will appreciate and support representatives of this caliber. " N. Eldon Tanner
I came across this quote and it reminded me of Dr. Paul. So many of our citizens has forgotten that good old fashioned virtues in our elected officials are what we need in this country now more than ever.
First of all you need to look up Politician in the Dictionary!
Politician: one actively engaged in politics, often one holding or seeking political office, often used derogatorily, with implications of seeking personal or partisan gain, scheming,etc., as distinguished from a statesman.
This was a word for word quote from Webster's New World Dictionary, Concise Edition 1964 Library of Congress # 66-13153
There can be no ideal politicians, unless they are DEAD! Now a statesmen is what you are looking for, like Ron Paul.

Lots of luck finding them and getting them elected.
What is the evidence?
One out of 400+ in the House of Representatives, should tell you that such a person in office is a freak event; the extreme exception rather than the rule.
Dream on!
