GOP’s Bob Barr: McCain a "faux conservative"

It's one thing when democrats say you're doomed, or even a few notable Republicans. But even Bob Barr, the former GOP congressman from Georgia and current Libertarian nominee for president, is saying that John McCain is "toast," according to Foon Rhee of the Globe's “Political Intelligence.” Barr has said that McCain is on his "farewell tour" across America because he has no realistic chance of winning the presidential election. He goes on to say that McCain has an angry and mixed message, supports big spending policies, and has no chance of becoming president. Barr appeals to voters saying, "Now, principled conservatives can vote their conscience instead of voting for a faux conservative just because he carries the Republican label. A vote for McCain is a wasted vote."

[DallasBiff]

This election is reminding me more and more of 1980. The media bringing out the Libertarian to try to steal votes from the GOP base and also phony polls saying that Carter(Obama) was doing well.

[MHGinTN]

What a faux headline! Bob’ACLU’BArr a GOPer? Bwahahahahaha, desperation is so amusing sometimes.

[Apercu]

Bob Barr fakes sanity every time he opens his yap.

[icwhatudo]

Says the member of the ACLU...ROTFLMAO!!!

[HammerOfTheDogs]

Barr has a point. However, I’d rather have an imperfect Conservative, than a Perfect 3rd World Marxist, as President.

[Cicero]

I knew Ross Perot, and Bob Barr ain’t no Ross Perot.

[skeeter]

Thanks, but we’re waaaay past that, Bob. Its about stopping Barry now.

[hsrazorback1]

HUSSEIN is a faux candidate.

[ari-freedom]

yeah if mccain was running against Harold Ford or Evan Bayh, that would be a different story.

[rosenfan]

"A vote for McCain is a wasted vote."

Coming from a guy running for President on a third party ticket, that's hilarious...

[DoughtyOne]

Barr thinks it’s important to point out that McCain can’t win. I wonder what McCain’s view of Barr’s chances is. LMAO

[cherry]

McCain is OUR candidate....he'll do well and keep our country safe....he will expand his ideas with Sarah pushing for energy independence....

I don't worry about him at all....he's a war hero and a patriot....

now Barr for his part is an arrogant and self-agrandizing midget....

[o2bfree]

I’d rather be a faux conservative than an a verifiable nutcase.

[The South Texan]

Takes one to know one, I guess.

[lonestar67]

What does that make Obama?

[RetiredArmy]

Shut up Bobby and go vote for the Chosen One since you are so mad.

[GulfBreeze]

Key words “FORMER GOP congressman”.

As we all know, he is now the candidate for the LIBERAL party.

[WayneS]

GOP’s Bob Barr: McCain a "faux conservative".

Well, folks, Mr. Barr is CORRECT in this case: John McCain IS a faux conservative.

[WayneS]

YOU, also, have a point.

[listenhillary]

By all means let us post more of this on FR! Give it even more exposure than it would have gotten! Pass it on to your email lists!

Stay home!
Vote Obama!
Give up!
All is LOST!
We’re DOOMED!

(/sarcasm)

Shut up Bob. A little history about 1932 Germany: the Nazis couldn’t win by themselves. It took help from other groups, who failed to unite behind the one party that could stop Hitler.

[Sooth2222]

Well, Barr is a “faux libertarian”. In 1980, the Libertarians had a serious candidate — Ed Clark, and billionaire David Koch as VP. Is Barr even on 50 state ballots? I doubt he’ll do as well as Clark did in 1980.

[WayneS]

Libertarian is NOT the same thing as Liberal.

[Paine in the Neck]

But Obama’s a REAL Communist and McCain’s our only chance to take him out. Barr has departed from reality.

[pissant]

He may have a point. But Barr is a liberal and has no standing to make such a claim.

[goldstategop]

I agree with Bob Barr. But a vote for Bob would be wasted because he has no chance of being elected President. Period.

[patriot08]

WELL BIG FREAKIN’ DEAL!!

WHAT CHOICE DO WE HAVE??

McCain will NOT attack enough to win the election.

McCain’s anemic attempts to fight Obama back is losing this election. Flood him out with emails with videos, articles, documentation- DEMAND he fight Obama back! NAME NAMES!
Ayers! Wright! Frank Davis! Odinga!

Flood the MSM out with emails with videos, articles, documentation. DEMAND they put the truth before the American voters!

..and so is Barr.

[Hacklehead]

In a close race the last thing we need is an delusional egomaniacle moron screwing things up. I can’t stand azzhats who are willing to flush the country down the drain to make a point.

[Gummi Bear]

Stick a sock in it, Bob.

[WayneS]

...blind squirrel...acorn...etc.

[McGruff]

...according to Foon Rhee...

Not going to go there. Wouldn't be prudent.

[albie]

“Thanks, but we’re waaaay past that, Bob. Its about stopping Barry now”.

...correct! The time has come to literally and simply save the country. Stopping Hussein, Judges and Palin are my reasons for McCain. And that’s about it.

[GOPJ]

May I assume you’ve been a Republican your whole life?

[DallasBiff]

Well, folks, Mr. Barr is CORRECT in this case: John McCain IS a faux conservative.

And Bob Barr who was on the payroll of the ACLU is a "real" conservative. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mnehring]

I wonder who is out there defending child molesters and suing cops who arrest illegals while Barr is running his campaign?

[Tucker39]

If McCain is a faux conservative, Bob Barr is a faux human being!

[WayneS]

The country is going down the drain no matter which of these jackasses gets elected.

At this point it’s ONLY a matter of the rate of descent.

[pollywog]

Bob Barr= PRESIDENT OBAMA... PLEASE FOLKS!!!!!

[PowerPro]

Note to Barr: YOU’RE NOT GOING TO WIN SO STOP TRYING TO IMPEDE THE SUCCESS OF THE ONLY CANDIDATE WHO CAN DEFEAT THE MARXIST.

...

And no...I don’t know why I typed that in ALLCAPS.

:)

[Red Badger]

Bob Barr must be related to Roseanne Barr.......by birth..........

[GulfBreeze]

Whatever.

[newzjunkey]

How is he the GOP’s Bob Barr? He’s the Libertarian Party’s candidate for President!

[WayneS]

Yes, whatever.

This IS the Unted States, where you have an absolute right to be wrong about anything you want to be wrong about.

[newzjunkey]

[tomkat]

Hey Bob,

STFU !

[Mac from Cleveland]

Off topic, but I actually saw a “Perot ‘08” sign in a yard last weekend-not a homemade one-an actual sign (Philly suburbs)

FWIW-Even in places like Swarthmore-the belly of the liberal beast-I don’t see as many signs for 0 as I did for Kerry in 2004, and I see more Mac/Palin signs than I would have imagined. And in the more down-to-earth middle class sections, even less Obumble love. Hope it’s a good sign.

[tomkat]

Sorry, I misspoke.

Hey Bob,

STFU !

[Palladin]

Earth to Bob Barr:

STIFLE YOURSELF!

[rlferny]

But Obama is a real Communist and that trumps all.
