“[Y]ou libertarians who sought reform from within kept your chins up. You held out hope that we would eventually gain some ground if we could just get some access. With the Ron Paul campaign, libertarians got that access. We ran a candidate with strong credibility both in the libertarian movement and in Washington. We had lots of mainstream media attention and even more alternative media attention. We had full entry in the debates. We had lots of money. At some points in the primary race, we had more spending cash than any other candidate. We had the most motivated, organized, impressive grass roots movement of any political campaign in my lifetime. It led nowhere.” (05/18/09)
