I'm not sure that's an issue, but he's clearly a goldbuy, and if he were a dem of any credibility, yes, that would be an issue.

You anti Paul people seem to know about as little about the gold standard as you do about foreign policy. Gold is a safe haven in inflationary times. As a long time poster on Jude Wanniski’s economic site and a poster on the site that took its place after Mr. Wanniski’s death, I can tell you that there are a lot of people who believe in the gold standard, or at least in the price of gold to predict inflationary pressures.
Gold stocks would not benefit from a return to the gold standard as that would fix the price of gold, in terms of dollars. However, it would stop the inflation by the Fed, which is a hidden tax on everyone. But which applies mainly to the lower class.
This is a really a fascinating intellectual debate (NOT) now that nobody is allowed to say anything nice about a Libertarian (capital L which Ron indeed is despite the R next to his name). Sure he is misguided on the WOT. Nice to be free of having to defend a position based on substance and logical argument. The rest of the FR community might learn something from your debate and posts while Ron goes down in a blaze of glory. Instead we have this fascinating exchange of ideas:
