Speech: The Real Thing


This speech was shot direct to video for presentation at state Libertarian Party conventions. Excerpt:

Let me speak plainly to you: I am not a conservative fighting for "federalism" or "states rights." I am not a liberal fighting for "the greatest good for the greatest number." I am not a used car salesman, peddling a version of freedom with sawdust in its transmission and a radiator full of stop-leak, hoping to keep the engine running long enough to get myself on TV a few times.

I am a Libertarian, and I'm damn proud of it. I'm running for
president because I believe in 80-proof, straight up, gut-burning freedom. If you prefer the wine cooler or lite beer version, I'm not your man.
