Neither can the libertarians. They have vowed to do all they can
to defeat Barr because he offends their pro-dope sensibilites.

Wrong!

Sometimes I think you must be a latent tempted doper to be so hung
up on that one subject.

All of my fellow libertarian friends know that the WOD destroys
the Liberty of all the rest of us that don't use illegal drugs yet has
not come even close to winning the WOD in 40 years of socialist
repression.  Unlike you, I believe Mr. Barr could even eventually
see the light and agree that it is time to try an new tact such as more
relaxed laws and a truthful education and rehabilitation effort from
the private sector without individual fears of government reprisal.

I wish I could share your optimism where Barr is concerned.

However, considering the guy is a Drug Warrior from way back, I see little chance he will reform from his past record. Whether the LP's targeting him for defeat is going to have any effect remains to be seen. (Are they even on the ballot in Georgia?)

I will give Barr high marks for his persistence in fighting the national ID card, which will probably come to pass in spite of conservative opposition. The WH says "Jump!" and most in Congress don't even stop to ask how high.
