LOL!
- over a candidate who has a anti-drug, closed border, strong national defense, anti- abortion platform??
choose your weapon, sir!!
Absolutely right.
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.
He worked for them on privacy and civil liberties issues, not the moonbat issues.
and now the Libertarian Party the home of the open borders.
Still stronger than McCain's/RNC stand on the borders.
And yet, some of here who "claim" to be conservative are going to vote for him?
I won't vote for him but he's a helluva lot more conservative than McCain, and he's the first LP nominee that actually has experience.
It's voters' fault that they won't vote for McCain?
If Barr wasn't running, would McCain get these libertarian votes at all?
When will we see a Conservative Party?
Seems a poor pick for the libertarians. He is a drug warrior who voted for the patriot act. And on top of that, his website makes it look like he’s pushing the “fair” tax. And that’s going to create the biggest criminal black market this nation has ever seen.
You deride these voters yet in the same breath believe they should vote for McCain. Typical. BTW, the people who are voting for Barr are fiscal conservatives who are tired of the Republicrats spending us into oblivion.
The sort of people Obama or Hillary will appoint to the supreme court will suit these abortionist hippies to a tee.
Oh please stop with the hyperbole. Just face up to the fact that McCain & the Stupid Party has alienated a huge portion of the conservative base.
Face it, if the republicans lose the upcoming election it’s because they’ve served up a crap candidate. If the republicans win it’s because the democrats are serving up an even crappier candidate.
How? If Barr wasn't running, would these folks still vote for McCain?
A vote for a 3rd party canidate is a vote for Obama. Plain and simple.
Non-support of a candidate does not equal a vote nor support of a candidate that one despises. It is McCain's responsibility to attract the votes of folks who intend on voting for someone else. Blaming the voters is exactly why the GOP is in the tailspin that it's in.
Just playing the devil's advocate, but so what? McCain will appoint the same high court judges the D@mocrats would: all they have to do is give him a thumbs down on his first nominee, and he'll pony up a suitable judicial activist, just to 'get things done.' Illegal immigration? Even defending the plain language of the Constitution? Same, same. Iraq? He'll hang in there until the D@ms deny funding, and then he'll pull out in a NY minute, in order to 'protect the troops.' Bottom line: 'maverick' is just another word for erratic, or maybe aimless, or perhaps self-serving, or maybe even out-of-control...
Correction...that should read..."READ MY LIP'S...NO NEW TAXES"!
How quickly some people forget.
Who has repented.
who voted for the patriot act.
After fighting for a sunset clause and eliminating other provisions.
I think Bob Barr should select Sam Nunn for his veep.
BARR/NUNN ‘08
I’m sure most Americans would be shocked to learn how many former and current Congress Critters and other “public servants” are paid whores for enemies of the Republic....
INCLUDING current and former Presidents....
Nothing else explains the continued unmolested state of Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Syria, Iran and others.......
We haven’t been defeated by force of arms - but we certainly have been dragged down by traitors within — most on the payroll of our enemies...
I am interested in learning more. Do you have any links that quote him directly on how he’ll deal with the drug war and the patriot act if he’s President? Because if he’s going to keep both as is and just run on the fair tax, no thanks.
Isn’t that like being the tallest midget?
Smartest person on the short bus.
