You do remember Ross Perot right? Remember what happened there?

Many people wasted their vote on Perot and as a result we got 8 years of the most corrupt administration in US history.

Same would happen here. A vote for Barr would most likely give us 4 to 8 years of an American-hating, socialist/marxist president and his racist wife.

Again, I’m not telling people how to vote, I’m telling them what very well could happen if they either stay home or vote for Barr.

I voted for Libertarian the last time around. But not this time. To put Obama in the WH is to turn over our soverienty to some world court or opinion. That’s pure craziness.

No, it's a vote for Barr. Just because a vote is not for McCain does not imply that it's automatically for Obama.

That is exactly what it is: a vote for President B. Hussein Obama.

What a bizarre place you must live in. Where there are only ever two candidates, and voting for one of them is mandatory.

“Obama as President at this moment in American history recalls the worst turning points of Roman history.”

Which turning points are those? I don’t recall any episodes like that in Roman history. It’s sounds as though you are inventing scary rhetoric to suit your purpose. You remind me of Al Gore.

I’m afraid that no matter what you say, John McCain needs to give people some reason to vote for him, or he’s going to lose. Let’s hop that John can get his act together.

Yes, possible madness. I guess it'll be time to put your screen name to the test.

“Ross Perot took enough votes from the first Bush”

Ross Perot didn’t take a single vote from GHW Bush. Bush destroyed his own Presidency by lying about taxes. Bush also ran a terrible campaign in 1992. The only one on that ticket who did his best to win was Dan Quayle. Quayle then ran against G W Bush in 2000, and afterwards the vindictive younger Bush refused to offer him any political job. Bush hasn’t offered any public position to anyone who ran against him; he’s the antithesis of Abraham Lincoln. I’ve had my fill of the Bush family. They have single-handedly destroyed the legacy of Ronald Reagan, and layed waste the Republican Party.

If George Washington was running as the nominee of the Pot Party I would not vote for him.

No, your claim was that a vote for a 3rd party candidate was a vote for Obama. I proved, with real math, that your claim is false.

You’re still welcome to try to prove that claim true, but so far you haven’t.

That is exactly what it is: a vote for President B. Hussein Obama.

A vote for Sen. McCain is a vote for cap and trade and a vote for amnesty.

Unless the Senator from Arizona corrects his deficiencies, I will not vote for him. And, if that be a vote for Obama, then I shall make the most of it!

OK, If Bob is on the ballot in YOUR state (and he will be in some 47 or 48 of them) YOU NOW HAVE A ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW YOUR TOTAL DISTAIN FOR THOSE RUNNING THE TWEEDLE DUMB/TWEEDLE DUMBER (Pubbie/Dems) PARTIES (INTO THE GROUND ALONG WITH OUR KIDS’ FUTURES).

You’re thinking “If I vote for Barr, it might let the wrong guy win.” In this election, they’re BOTH the “wrong guy.” For some different reasons but they’re both the wrong guy so WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?

Don’t know about you, but THIS grandfather is sick and tired of voting for the lesser of two evils and then being surprised that the evils of destruction of American sovereignty, massive unfunded debt and the consequent inflation, presidentially ordered wars, stupid energy — among thousands of other — policies, ballooning bureaucracy, etc., etc., ad nauseum continue without letup.

Unless you just enjoy those increasingly frequent ankle gripping exercises ordered by the Gang of 535 and 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, me to PUT UP OR SHUT UP, PEOPLE!!

TIME TO PUT UP OR SHUT UP!!!!!!!!

Regardless, I'll vote for Barr before I vote for McCain.

Same here. If everybody who is disgusted with our choices this election would vote for Barr, maybe, just maybe, the GOP would get a reality check. However, if we all go off in different directions like a herd of cats, the message, for what it is worth, will be diluted.

Well said. If voters did not vote the 'lesser of two evils' in the past, we would not be offered that same choice again and again.

Vote on principle, not on fear. It's the path to better candidates. The last time was the last time.

It’ll be a cold day in he!! before this conservative votes for a card-carrying ACLU member. A REALLY cold day. I’ll vote for McCain before I’ll ever vote for Barr.

Barr is not a "card carrying ACLU member".

Nonsense. If they were Republicans, they’d be running as Republicans. Why aren’t they?

Vote for the ACLU, legalized drugs, legalized prostitution, legalized gay marriage, elimination of the INS and any remaining border protections? No thanks.

Barr worked for the ACLU.

He worked "with" the ACLU on data privacy issues.

Here's some others who worked with the ACLU-

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, Oliver North.
