Not so much a friend of personal property rights, either.

[MsLady]

Yep, he’s done.

[PA Engineer]

Haley Barbour appears to be staking out a moderate position on global warming than some of his possible rivals

Bye Bye.

[DoughtyOne]

I went a few rounds with a person who liked Barbour a few months back.

It was my take that Barbour was a part of the old school, the Republicans who got us in this mess not standing up to the Democrats when they had the chance in the 90s.

Now this.

Thanks Haley. Some of you folks just can’t help yourselves.

[org.whodat]

It appears that haley has decided to retire and pick cotton in Mississippi.

[Vendome]

Trumpls not running.

Romney is running against himself.

Newt shot himself in the foot years ago

And Barbour just killed off any chance of being taken seriously.

[PENANCE]

What’s your point? That they’re the four (or 3) worst possible candidates who could win the nomination?

That’s exactly why I claim that those will be our only choices.

[Defend Liberty]

Another Republicrat bites the dust.

[Vendome]

Yeahhhh . . . . Not sure I understood you clearly. /s

The more I hear about/from Barbour, the less I care for him.

Some comments from his FNS appearance Sunday:

Barbour on reinstating the hospital tax:


The FED made me do it.


Barbour on raising the cigarette tax:


We did it because the tax was too low, and for health reasons.

And these:

What Haley Barbour didn't tell Fox News: he lobbied for Mexico on 'amnesty'

Governor Barbour on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on February 27, 2011, said that Barack Obama is “one of the greatest politicians in the history of the United States.”

Does Haley Barbour Have an Immigration Problem?

[Dawgreg]

Good grief! Isn’t there ANYBODY (namely men) in the De-publican party that can shoot straight from the hip like Bachamann and Palin???? I mean, do us girls have to do everything???:) Haley, I love ya man but I’ll love ya just as much in Mississippi.

Potential presidential candidate Haley Barbour appears to be staking out a moderate position on global warming than some of his possible rivals, saying at an event in eastern Iowa on Friday that the country should “proceed in national policy as if global warming is actually happening.”

That's a moderate position? Most of the enviro-cultists want exactly this. Great, another GOP candidate I won't vote for.

[pgkdan]

Yep! Scratch him off the list! That’s a deal break AFIC.

[lewislynn]

I don’t know. I think we’ll be left with a choice between Romney, Gingrich, Barbour, and Trump for the Republican Nominee.

Trump in a heart beat.

[SERKIT]

Toast! Non-starter. Was this a balloon-float or is this guy serious?

[sand88]

remove fork. inspect. yep, done.

LOL. Yep, he is well done. What a fool to not see the fraud that is Man-made Globull Warming.

Sarah is correct to call it "snake oil" science.

[excopconservative]

That’s very dangerous thinking. Assuming an unproven event is happening is like operating in an alternate reality.
