I guess you didn’t see my tag line.
I also worked for Reagan when he first ran for gov.

ACLU wants to help defend alleged Sept. 11 mastermind 5 April 2008.
Libertarian Bobb Barr has been on the payroll of the ACLU for years.

1992 Pres. results

Clinton 43%
GHWBush 37%
Perot 19%

Third party also gave us Carter.

After the third party gave us the disasters in the Middle East, Corruption, etc. I guess that isn’t enough.
Maybe another 9/11. But then again the L Ron Paulites are anti war and many think 9/11 was staged.

Enjoy your third party or should I say Obama and the finish of our country

I saw your tag line. You apparently want to absolve yourself of responsibility for the selection of the candidate for whom you apparently urge folks to vote. The election is eight months away, and you apparently have given up hope of doing better than the candidate for whom you don't want to be blamed. And you apparently do this because you've observed that 3rd parties have benefited Democrats in recent decades. I prefer to see these eight months as an opportunity to let tens of millions of my fellow Americans get a chance to see and hear Alan Keyes on the same debate platform as McCain and the Democrat, and any other candidate who polls well enough to be included in the debates. I think the more folks know about Keyes, the more likely they are to vote for him, because he is thoughtful in analyzing issues and persuasive in describing his conclusions.

Anybody who can't stand the thought of Hillary or Obama being President has at least that in common with me. McCain said Hillary would make a good President. The only kind thing I can say about McCain, after watching him in the Senate these many years, is that its possible he may justly be considered a casualty of war.

Dear SoCalPol: I saw Libertarian presidential candidate George Phillies mention Bob Barr in a press release, and his take on Barr is much different than yours. You said "Libertarian Bobb Barr has been on the payroll of the ACLU for years."

The Libertarian Phillies said:

"In Summer 1999, Congressional bigots campaigned for Army persecution of members of the Wiccan faith. Republican Senator Thurmond demanded Wiccan services be excluded from the military. In an ABC News interview, then-Governor George Bush announced 'I don't think that witchcraft is a religion.' The charge was started by right-wing Georgia Congressman Bob Barr, who urged the Army to ban Wiccan services from military bases.

"Bigotry is a key theme of right-wing Republicanism, going back to the KKK and Concerned Citizens Councils," Phillies said. "Like all other patriotic Americans, Libertarians believe that Freedom of Religion is for everyone. No real Libertarian will ever ask that a religion's harmless practices be banned. This Fall, please take a stand against Republican bigotry. Please vote Libertarian."

--- END OF EXCERPT FROM CANDIDATE PHILLIES' PRESS RELEASE

It's dated April 1, but I don't think the Libertarian was joking.

I admired Bob Barr for his efforts to impeach Bill Clinton long before anybody knew anything about the only White House intern during Clinton years to get put on federal payroll. That you object to his common ground with ACLU while apparently urging folks to vote for McCain, who revels in finding common ground with conservative-haters, seems worthy of note.
