I would totally vote for Paul if it weren't for that gold standard crap, honestly.
I actually respect most aspects of libertarianism. I'm definitely a liberal, but I would find a complete withdrawal of government in many areas to be a tolerable compromise between big-government liberals and big-government conservatives. I also find Paul himself to be quite likable. It's the open deflationary policy that I simply can't tolerate.
Anybody who thinks we need a gold standard can simply buy gold, and feel smug about avoiding fiat currency. After all, isn't a gold standard the ultimate currency manipulation, and the government interfering in the currency market?
