>> A third party run can only effect McCain before the election. My point was that that will have no effect on McCain after the election.<<
If McCain started to use his position as a Senator to keep his CPAC promise, that would be difficult to undo if he became POTUS.
>>I just love how people talk in circles just to get ‘round to doing what they wanted to do all along. You don’t like McCain. I get that. Neither do I. But promoting Bob Barr is just self-defeating nonsense.<<
I would advise you to keep your day job instead of reading my mind, because you are not very good at it. I would rather support the Republican nominee, because I agree with you that if Barr did get a significant number of Republican votes, of course that would help the Dem nominee, and I do think that both Dem nominees would make a horrible POTUS.
The trouble is that I am not sure that, in the long run, McCain would be better. He might be more, or less, effective at pushing amnesty, which would create millions of new Dem voters. I can’t predict the future, but based upon the current evidence, I think all 3 candidates are very dangerous.
I don’t know if I could support Barr or not in November. I just used Barr as an example of how unpredictable politics can be.
On careful reading, I can see how you were not necessarily advocating votes for Barr. Sorry for jumping to conclusions.
MEGA-DITTOES!
