HANNITY: Do you identify yourself as more a libertarian conservative? People ask me, I'm a registered conservative in New York, I consider myself a Reagan conservative. How do you -- is libertarian fair or -- do you shun that? Do you like that? Do you embrace it, what?
RAND PAUL: It depends what people mean by it. I use the term constitutional conservative, but I also use the term libertarian conservative. One reason why I think that conservatism has to be modified is, is that when we were in power as Republicans, we said we were conservative, but we doubled the debt also. We added new Medicare prescription drug programs, we added on new programs and new debt. So, really the conservative term really, and maybe has to be specified more, either libertarian conservative or constitutional conservative, but I accept all of those terms if they mean they believe in limited government and more individual liberty.
