Yep. And one Socialist, Marxist Liberal Democrat in the White House.
But hey. People will have clear consciences and say "At least I didn't vote for a RINO."
Of course, images of Macbeth or Pilate come to mind.

Former Republican Rep. Bob Barr is expected to announce that he's running for president as a Libertarian.
His candidacy would be a wild card in the White House race that many believe would hurt Republican Sen. John McCain.
Barr had scheduled a news conference Monday. He first must win the Libertarian nomination at the party's national convention that begins May 22. Party officials consider him a front-runner

OUTSTANDING!...Great job! made ME laugh on this tired Monday morning.....Please keep posting this all the way to the election!
Hussein Obama”Hama may be the most dangerous man in America.
If we allow him to be elected, we will deserve whatever fate he will bring.
The election of the Clintoons is still costing this country and yet the walk of waters types are still proud of helping the Clintoons to get elected.
You are sure right about that. He sure isn't a conservative!.
No reason other than I like the sound of "Barr-Nunn '08"
Oh, here we go with the dramatics.
Barr whitewashing of the ACLU is akin to Charles Lindbergh's whitewashing of the Nazis. They are an enemy agent, bent on the destruction of America from within, as were the Nazis from without. I will offer unto Barr the respect he deserves--none.
my understanding is that this is one of the issues that he has flip flopped on and is now against the WOD.
Barr works with the ACLU to protect our 4th Amendment freedoms and reverse the abuses of the grossly misnamed Patriot Act.
Mr. Barr was not just siding with the ACLU in this effort fight this assault on our liberty. He was also siding with groups like the American Conservative Union, Americans for Tax Reform, the Free Congress Foundation, the Second Amendment Foundation, and other solidly conservative groups. Nor do they mention that bedrock conservative groups like the Christian Coalition, the National Rifle Association, Gun Owners of America, the National Association of Manufacturers, the Family Research Council, the Southeastern Legal Foundation, the Business-Industry Political Action Committee, the National Right to Life Committee, to name just a few, have also worked with the ACLU to protect a Constitutional right.
I suppose you don’t think those groups are conservative either.
I guess you support the McCain/Finegold assault on the First Amendment because the ACLU fought it.
The ACLU is that much worse than freaking La Raza?
Mr. ACLU running as a libertarian. Hmmm, seems Bob Barr is the Libertarian’s John McCain.
Yep. And one Socialist, Marxist Liberal Democrat in the White House.
But hey. People will have clear consciences and say "At least I didn't vote for a RINO."
Of course, images of Macbeth or Pilate come to mind.
I wouldn't be so hasty...
The Liberal Republicans don't care who wins as long as it isn't one of the Dems...
Like with the Perot voter, the Bob Barr voters will not back down...You'll get Bob Barr, or one of the Rats...
Seems like you'd have figured that out with Perot/Bush...Bush didn't stand a chance but you wasted your vote on him anyway...
If Barr runs, McCain doesn't stand a chance...You going to waste your vote on him as well, and elect a Democrat???
People should have thought of that before supporting another liberal for the Republican nomination. Too bad the party elites thought they could keep nominating liberals and still get conservatives to vote for them.
They went to that well once too often.
Now the pressure is on Gary Bauer to declare.
C’mon Gary, America needs you!
I’m not sure what candidate you are speaking of.
McCain is, as of 2006, only 65% conservative, according to the ACU.
I have at least 35% to hate about the guy.
As true as far as it goes, but it isn’t as if it is watching some other person’s kid deal with the consequences of his bad decisions. I don’t feel justified in taking any satisfaction or superiority from saying “Hey, you made your bed, now sleep in it.”
This is my bed too, like it or not.
I ask myself a simple question: Who is most pleased by this turn of events?
The answer is simple: Nancy Pelosi, Howard Dean, Barack Obama et al are jumping up and down with joy at this development, the same way we would if the dork Nader got into the election. Sure, Barr will get only get maybe 10% of the vote, but without a liberal 3rd party to counterbalance it (or probably even with one)that is the election right there.
If liberals like Nancy Pelosi, Howard Dean, Barack Obama et al are for something, I am pretty sure to be against it nearly all the time. Pretty simple.
Better than giving speeches to La Raza.
“If Barr runs, McCain doesn’t stand a chance...You going to waste your vote on him as well, and elect a Democrat???”
Bob Barr is a kook and a joke, he won’t hurt McCain any more than Buchanan “hurt” Bush in 2000. Not going to happen.
