I think it is time for Dr. Paul to accept the fact his day has come and gone. He's just plain too old, and while I agree with much of what he says, he also says a lot of things that are just plain whacked-out. The gold standard thing is bizarre, as is much of his other currency obsessions. He is also running in the wrong party, the GOP, for the most part, hates his guts. Why is he wasting his time with this windmill tilt? It all would have been much better spent, over all these decades, in building a viable third party, or, given his strong anti-defense spending and pro-civil liberties stance, in building a viable conservative Democrat wing. Instead, he is just going to fade away.
