Bernie Marcus, co-founder of Home Depot. Just ran across these videos from September 17, 2010, and I think he's genuinely for/against nearly all of the positions that the liberty movement generally stand for. He broadly talks against regulations, taxes, government corruption, and... takes a shot at Bush for Iraq. The level of honesty from an "evil" capitalist is quite refreshing. He even apologized for creating 300,000 jobs and creating wealth. :D

Money quotes:
My solution is that you take a guy like Timothy Geithner and put him in a new reality show. It’s called 'Timothy Geithner Does Small Business', something like [the porn movie] 'Debbie Does Dallas', and it ends up the same way,” said Marcus. ”Basically, what they’re doing to small business is very similar in this case [to what ‘Debbie’ did to Dallas.]
If they dismissed Congress. If they went on a recess for two years and only came back for Defense purposes ... nothing good comes out of Congress

Money quotes:
"Accelerated depreciation ... what is accelerated depreciation going to do for [the small business owner]?! It's good for Jeff Immelt at GE, I'm sure they helped write the legislation"
What did [Bush] get us? If he hadn't fallen off the cliff with Iraq.
We will never repay this debt.
