Former Republican Georgia Rep. Bob Barr is considering a run for president on the Libertarian Party ticket, according to FITNews.
Barr, who joined the Libertarian Party after leaving Congress in 2003, is looking to attract conservatives who are unhappy with the choice of John McCain as the expected Republican presidential nominee. McCain and Barr are at odds primarily over the role of U.S troops in Iraq, although both agree that tough interrogation methods should not be permitted.
FITNews wrote that Barr will receive the endorsement of Texas Republican Rep. Ron Paul, a GOP presidential candidate who is still technically in the race but has not suggested he would throw his support to McCain. McCain and Paul, who ran on the Libertarian Party presidential ticket in 1988, also are at odds primarily over the role of U.S. troops in Iraq.
Barr, who represented Georgia’s 7th Congressional District in the U.S. House from 1995-2003 and served as a House manager during impeachment proceedings against former President Bill Clinton, told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution last week that he identifies closely with Paul’s outlook.

Ross Perot for VP!
I thought he was dead. Maybe I’m thinking of Henry Hyde.
Well, that oughta do it. lol!
So who’s funding his campaign, Hillary or Obama?
He could name Dan Burton his running mate. The charisma factor would be overwhelming. Maybe, Burton could cut a deal with Roger Clemens for a pardon and get their financing kicked off with a couple of mil.
Another consrvative heads for the dark side
Or was it blackmail?
LOL!
Bob Barr is also a member of the ACLU. That will make conservative voters excited about Barr! Maybe not.
He went to work for the ACLU....same thing to me.
Piss on that idea Bob. You lost your conservative credentials long ago. Time to draft Tom Delay!
I was wondering who billary would pick, so a 45% vote could win again ...,
Maybe we should all run!
“Yeah, that’s the way to do it, money for nothin’ and your chicks for free.”
Who’s paying him to do this, the Faud famly?
A guy who can’t grow a decent mustache shouldn’t be running the country.
When he quits we can sing, Bob Bob Bob Bob Bob Barr ran.
If the media is to be believed Obama has the money and Hillary has none.
Bob Barr lost his noodle somewhere along the way after the ‘98 Impeachment by the House of Clinton of which he wa a leading member. Even Lindsay Grahmamnesty was on the Impeachment Committee and was tough as nails...Look what happened to Barr and Grahamnesty!! Jeesh!! Barr went to work for the Communist ACLU and Grahmanesty became a RINO...The only conservative who was on that committee that is living and is STILL a staunch conservative is Jim Sensenbrenner...Barr should check himself into the nearest insane asylum...
