Reason TV Replay: CPAC – Rand Paul, Libertarians Rising

Last year, Rand Paul rocked the Conservative Political Action
Conference (CPAC) in the wake of his famous #standwithrand
filibuster, walking away the winner of the event’s annual straw
poll. Early indications are he’ll do the same this year, and that

it won’t even be close.

So is libertarianism still on the rise? Stay tuned to Reason TV for coverage of this
year’s CPAC, but for now, check out coverage of last year’s
event.

This video originally aired March 15, 2013. Original writeup is
below:

 ”The new GOP will need to embrace liberty in both the
economic and personal sphere,” Sen.
Rand Paul (R-Ky.) told a packed crowd at the 2013 Conservative Political
Action Conference (CPAC).

Reason’s Matt Welch and Kennedy attended the first day of CPAC
to take the temperature of the political organizers, media
observers, and grassroot activists who are central to the
Republican Party’s identity and political fortunes. What did they
find? A movement that seems to gravitating to a baldly libertarian
stance when it comes to everything from economics to social issues
to foreign policy.

About 3 minutes. Produced by Jim Epstein and Meredith Bragg.
Hosted by Matt Welch and Kennedy.
