It’s an election...pick the best canidate running and move on.

Best? An open borders, Shamnesty, gun show loophole closing, Saturday Night Special banning, higher taxes, non-terrorist questioning, "reach across the aisle", Global Warming apologist is the "best" we can come up with?

In that case, we deserve to lose.

I'm still voting Barr as I refuse to give up without a fight.

Barr while at USC in 1967 joined the Young Democrats of America, and rallied against the Vietnam War.

His parents disapproved, and threatened to cut off financial support if he continued his “flaming liberal” activities

On the Colbert Report on June 4, 2008, Barr confirmed that he now supports ending marijuana prohibition, as well as the War on Drugs

At the 2008 Libertarian National Convention, he apologized for the part of the Defense of Marriage Act which prevents the federal government from recognizing same-sex marriages ( Barr supports same sex marriage)

Barr has called for withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq, leaving no permanent military bases.

A press release from Barr’s presidential campaign stated: “The next president should commit to a speedy and complete withdrawal from Iraq, and tell the Iraqi people that the U.S. troops will be going home

Barr Does Not support the Patriot Act which has kept us from further attacks since 9/11

Barr has been a vocal opponent of President George W. Bush’s claim of authorization to wiretap transnational phone calls without individual judicial license. (Another favorite of the left.)

More recently, Barr has become a prominent member of the American Civil Liberties Union, sometimes doing paid consulting on privacy issues.

Barr had acquiesced to his then-wife having an abortion in 1983. He had also invoked a legal privilege during his 1985 divorce proceeding so he could refuse to answer questions on whether he’d cheated on his second wife with the woman who is now his third.”

a) If you tell yourself even a small percentage of the truth...you’ll admit that MCain is certainly better that those little sound-bites

b) Simple US election; one guy is a Communist.

c) Baar is just nuts...and a vote for him helps Obama.

It’s simply not possible to find someone that agrees with EVERYTHING you want...and then to get throught the nominating process. Stop making it into some complicated plot..... 2 viable canidates running in a US election. Our job is to vote for the best one and go home and work to get better ones in the mis.
