Bob Barr for Prez?

From the WaTimes:
Can a conservative former congressman who helped impeach President Clinton, is a board member of the National Rifle Association and has done contract work with the ACLU dent Sen. John McCain's presidential bid?
That's exactly what Mr. McCain would face if Bob Barr, the former Republican who joined the Libertarian Party two years ago, wins his adopted party's presidential nomination. Would Barr really take votes away from McCain? I suppose he's at least as dangerous as Ralph Nader is to Dems.

Conservatives would have somebody to vote for.
A Marxist, a Socialist, and a Liberal is no choice at all. |

I hope this doesn't come as too much of a shock to everyone. I'm was going to vote third party anyway, I just didn't expect I would have a chance to vote for a real conservative. |
|

There will be some who throw their votes away on a third party candidate, but I'm pretty sure most people see how useless that is. They'll make the right decision in voting for McCain when it is all said and done, save for some misguided conservatives. Shouldn't matter much, in the end. |

it won't matter to you because you have no principles beyond expediency at any cost. As long as you can pack the party with disaffected liberals, criminals, dead people..anybody that will vote for McCain, you don't care about what you're actually doing to the party itself. The Democrats used to be the win at any cost party, remember? I listened to Bob Barr's interview on Hannity a few minutes ago, and was surprised to hear his timeline of getting fed up with the GOP mirrored mine...and for much the same reason. I've never had any desire to vote for the 'Libbertarians' but I could vote for Barr, just for him stating in that interview what I've been trying to express here. The GOP that once stood for strong conservative principles is gone. Fine, so be it. As I mentioned in another post, according to Bob Beckel, conservatism is dead. So, if I'm dead, my vote won't matter. But, if it helps derail McCain, and gives us a shot at getting our party back, well, so much the better. Go tend your flock, Bigsheep. You should hope for your lamer candidates sake that Barr doesn't go through with it. Ask Poppy Bush what happens when you p*ss on the base and a 3rd party candidate pops up...not good news for Backdoor John McCain. |

The fact is that Bob Barr has no real chance of winning, so all you would be doing is making it easier for Obama to win.
If you care about the war, and making sure we win it, then a vote for Bob Barr is a vote for defeat.

The Stupid Party
The RNC wants an amnesty candidate.
Don't vote for one.
Another amnesty will result in Democrat majorities for decades, or until they are supplanted by the La Raza Party, why doesn't the RNC know that? How stupid do you have to be to import voters for the opposition at the same time you alienate your own voters? Nominating any of the amnesty supporters is a losing proposition, we will not support them. If the GOP intends to surrender our sovereignty and abandon the rule of law, they will find in November 2008, that they still have their big money/cheap labor donors, but they do not have voters. GOP-RIP |

I stand by what I said. It's clear with the way you objected to my post, you're either a liberal, or so far right that you're out of the mainstream. What you're doing is your best to help get an extremely liberal Democrat elected; if you can't see the problem with that, then I feel sorry for you. Thankfully, as I stated above, it's looking more and more like you and the few who feel like you do won't matter come November. |

Don't bet any money on that. |

BigKam,
Virginia Patriot is one of those so-called 'conservatives' who thinks that a McCain Administration will be worse for the nation than an Obama Adminstration.
The only people I know who believe that McCain would be worse than Obama are called D-e-m-o-c-r-a-t-s.
Ha, ha, ha. |

You said it all, and the McCainiacs are quaking in their boots, because they know they can't win without conservatives. Hahaha.
The GOP/POS/ GOBs blew their chances in "96", by ramming a RINO weakling,{ Dole},through whether we liked it or not, and resulted in having Klintong for another 4 years.
Then, they almost "blew it" again with BOOSH,{I didn't vote for him},....now they want to force the same ole s**t on us again, by picking another RINO,.....I don't T H I N K SO!
GOP/ GOBs RIP.

will get my vote, if he runs! |

None of the bunch, Obama, McCain, or Clinton should be President, they all intend to abandon the rule of law and surrender the country. |

Because Bob Dole embraced the kind of Anti-Hispanic/Immigrant sentiments that McCain has had the good sense to ignore.
Contrary to what a lot of you think, it wuold be suicide for the GOP to keep this idiotic hard line on immigration. Reconcile yourselves to these two truths 1) There is no way shape or form that youare going to ever be able to deport 12 million undocumented aliens already here, or get them to self-deport. and 2) When (not if) they eventually become citizens, they are going to have a long memory as to which party jerked them over.
We do need to hold McCain's feet to the fire about securing the border, but we also need to have a path to citizenship for those already here... They are a natural constituency for the GOP- family oriented, religious, hardworking, etc. But not if we come off like a bunch of rednecks and alienate them. |
