Take that McCain! Your pick of Palin was so out-of-line! I wish Duncan Hunter and Ron Paul had a chance for the nomination. Obama is going to mess it all up! I’m a Republican that VOTED for Barr.

I know i hate mccain on a lot of issues but the time is not right, if it was liberman yes i would vote for bob barr but not obama I used to agree with that and would if obama was a blue dog democrat but he’s is a moderate socialist and would be horrible.

Why are there no Libertarian mayors, state Assemblymen, Congressmen, governors? Without a support base, a Libertarian President, even if elected by a fluke, would be helpless against a hostile Congress.

Almost. Ever heard of a runoff election? Do you know why they exist? We don't have runoff elections in this country, *nominally*. But effectively our elections *ARE* runoff elections. Vote for one of the top two choices. That's it! A vote for the next Ross Perot that comes along is a HUGE MISTAKE. The Republican party can't win without the Ron Paul, Ross Perot, populist, protectionist illiterates. The flipside is that the Democrats have their own Ross Perot, and his name is Ralph Nader. Your campaign dollars are probably best spent on funding his campaign rather than funding McCain. And I wonder how many leftists would throw money at a third party candidate on the right just to damage chances of a conservative win in 08.

I was pleased to note that he deviates a little from most Libertarians and is for border security. I am a conservative independent, and as such I am against corporate control of America. Border Security is the area in which there are more assaults upon our nation sovereignty by the big international corporations. There are no perfect candidates, but I think Barr is 100% better than any of the three candidates now available from the Democrat and Republican parties. I will support him financially and inspirationally if he decides to run. I hope he will.

That does not include the payments by any other corporations, not just in the oil industry but in the economy as a whole. If you socialists kill that goose, and you are just the ones to do it, the gold won't come any more. Is that too difficult for you to understand? As for a nationalized health care industry, the only reason the Canadian one works, even as poorly as it does (it is flirting with a ten month waiting period for maternity beds), is because Canadians can come to the USA to get diagnostic and therapeutic services unavailable in their wonderful nationalized system. This is helped by the fact that most Canadians live not much more than an hour's drive from the US border. Where do you suppose Americans will go for such services once our system is nationalized for the power and profit of leftist politicians and bureaucrats? The Cayman Islands perhaps? Tijuana? The nostrums and proposed policies of the Left are worthless and counterproductive. The history of the 20th Century is a history of socialist catastrophe, in democratic countries as well as the ones where totalitarian socialism has ruled (look at the mess socialism made of Britain). The Left is immoral in its aspirations and actions, since it constantly causes disaster and never corrects its stupidly wrong ideas that led to the catastrophes in the first place. Illinois,

I however won't be voting for him. No matter how tempted I might be to vote principal the truth of the matter is that a vote for Bob might mean an Obama presidency and I'm just not crazy enough to take that chance. In spite of my dislike for McCain I will hold my nose and vote for him because the alernative is too odious to comptemplate. Bob is my former congressman and a neighbor.
