Bob Barr - The Libertarian Candidate

Many of you might remember this guy as the one who looked like he was lose his lunch after Borat told him the cheese is from milk from his wife's tit.

I don't see him as a true libertarian. Actually I see him as a little controlling. The saving face aspect for me is he is a supporter of the fair tax and takes a very miltant approach to the illegal immigration aka similar to Ron Paul(might be enough to win my vote.).Bob Barr 2008 › Issues
Bob Barr 2008 › Issues

(1) War on Drugs - Strong supporter
(2) Medical Marijuana - Strongly against it.
Bob Barr - Medical Marijuana ProCon.org
(3) Gay Marriage - Against it.
(4) Voted for Patriot Act, but now states he is against it (convenient).

(5) Against Freedom of Religion for Military Personal - in this case Wicca.

Well no way in hell he's getting the liberal vote. With # 3 he just lost any chance to reach a good chunk of America. They will see him as nothing but another republican lapdog.

And War on Drugs? Yet another NOT to vote libertarian.

A candidate running under a false flag. Nothing new, the so called "conservatives" do it all the time. This guy is nothing more then a neo-con, and certainly not a libertarian.

He's an economic libertarian but a social conservative. Which, (used to) make you a republican, not a libertarian.

Anyone who says medical marijuana should be banned because it is "witchcraft" is obviously an out of touch and tired old man with no place in the running of contemporary america.


What a piece of work is man! How noble in reason! The paragon of animals! And yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust? Man delights not me; no, nor woman neither..

That's my opinion as well.


Thanks, you saved me some typing.

Isn't this the same guy who was convinced Hillary had something to do with Vince Foster's death, and tested his theories by shooting "head-like objects' -- melons -- in his back yard?

Run, Bob, Run!

Let the Right taste the bitter "Nader" pill some, too. He will not attarct a single progressive or liberal vote, but get some of those Limbaugh idiots who vote hoping that one day, they will be the ones reaping the profits from raping the enviroment and allowing wage depression to fuel every metric of economic "growth".

Eh, there really no such thing as a "vote stealer". That's just a lame, albeit convenient cop out for people who can't get their own morally bankrupt candidates elected.

Math is math.

But that is interesting, comming from the constituency that can't find anyone to contend who agrees with both the economic and philosopical aspects of their agenda. Funny, more accurately. I suppose "lack of appeal" translates into "morally rich" in that side's lexicon.

Funny you should mention morally bankrupt candidates. Are you not the same person who advocates Ron Paul or whoever the libertarian candidate is?

Well here is a libertarian. Are you going to use the No True Scot fallacy to try and wiggle out of this one?

Will you attempt to argue that we get a fair shake in media presentation?


Short of being ridiculed by each, and every pundit, you know we're game for a fair fight any time.


Too bad you guys own the media, eh?

Well, now I'm only advocating Ron Paul.


I wasn't privvy to the fact that the Libertarian candidate would be wearing a Republican label, while the Republican candidate would be wearing a Libertarian pin.


Who knew?


There is no wiggling here. I'm not scared to disown those who think outside of reality. No guilt by association either.

Equally as valid, Libertarians don't give a hoot about equality of opportunity, they only want the freedom to be able to dominate those weaker than they are without fear of sanction. Welcome to the world of competeting ideologies.

Better than the alternative.


Liberalism, preventing people from disagreeing.

He's a republican claiming to be a libertarian, just like libertarian Paul claims republican membership. It doesn't seem possible to be a libertarian with these positions. I don't think I even have to look at the links. This guy has even less chance to win that Ron Paul.


I'd like to thank Charlie Hodge, bringing me scarves and water.

No, he claims Republican membership because he is a Republican. His positions are mostly Republican, not libertarian.

For all of you who, as usual, don't know what the hell you're talking about, the Libertarian Party hasn't nominated its presidential candidate yet (it will at the convention at the end of May).

Here's the link that shows ALL of the current candidates (listed in order of money raised): Official Website of the Libertarian National Committee

Oh, and by the way lsbskins1, Rush supporters are voting for Hillary.
