Paul: ‘If We Nominate a Candidate Who Is Simply Democrat Lite, What’s the Point?’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
RAND PAUL: "Big government and debt doubled under a Republican administration. And it's now tripling under Barack Obama's watch. President Obama is on course to add more debt than all of the previous presidents combined. We borrow a million dollars a minute. This vast accumulation of debt threatens not just our economy, but our security. We can wake up now and do the right thing. Quit spending money we don't have. [ Applause ] 

"This message of liberty is for all Americans. Americans from all walks of life. The message of liberty, opportunity and justice is for all Americans, whether you wear a suit, a uniform or overalls or whether you're white or black, rich or poor, in order to restore America, one thing is for certain though, we cannot, we must not dilute our message or give up on our principles. [ Applause ] If we nominate a candidate who is simply Democrat lite, what's the point? Why bother? We need to boldly proclaim our vision for America. We need to go boldly forth under the banner of liberty that clutches the Constitution in one hand and the bill of rights in the other."
