I love Ron Paul! He's the real maverick.

I wish I could go to the Paul rally. Have too many things going on. Good luck to Ron Paul, and good luck to Barr in winning over some of the Paul people.

All the way in for Chuck Baldwin. Bob Barr is a good choice too but his support of the Patriot Act makes him second best for me.
Either way a vote for Baldwin or Barr is a vote for freedom, that is what matters

Randy - I agree. I will see who is on the ballot here in NM.

I am a former Obama supporter, a black woman, and a traitor to my race; so I have been told. Just joking, but in so many words, yes.

They'll wake up 4 years.

I wish I could be there.

Go Ron Paul!

Ron Paul 08.

Barr is on the ballot here in Florida, and I'm voting for him! You better freakin' believe it. I really don't care if Obama gets elected, the GOP NEEDS to be punished for what they did to us during this primary season.

Also I can't wait to see the Mcainiacs at work cry in their beer. LOL

Vote Liberty!

Bob Barr's running mate is Wayne Allen Root.

Good businessman, good father, good VP.

My apologies, Woody. Yes, I certainly should have been more conscientious in my attribution. No, I don't have a manifesto. Thanks for asking.

Cedric - The GOP needs to be punished for the last 8 years especially in foreign policy.

Libertarian Presidential candidate Bob Barr is for less government, less taxes and more freedom.

To comprehensively learn about him, go to this Wikipedia website address, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Barr.

As a voter, it's your personal responsibility and American duty to learn about all of the candidates!

I'll take Chuck for now. I just don't trust Barr although he gets a bad rap for the Patriot Act. They needed him to vote for it, so he could work on it in committee. Granted, it didn't turn out well, but that's why. I just don't think his grasp of the constitution is as good as Baldwin. Although, it's still just a protest vote. After all Obama and McCain are both wefare/warfare queens of the state. We are headed for another Jimmy Carter administration of world occupation and economic destruction. There is NO WAY around it now. The next four years are going to be damn tough wether we like it or not. And BOTH parties signed off on this. The republican administration AND the Democratic House and Senate. Bush/Reid and Pelosi should be lucky they aren't put in jail for what they have done to our country. Both parties have failed you, me our children's future and the rest of the country. And we we silently consenting to it the whole time. We enabled this, now we must learn to live with the consequences.

"Libertarians are GOPers who liked to get stoned...?"

Ummm, sorry, but I don't even drink tea.

Libertarians are not into drugs. Drugs are merely a pressure point at which people demonstrate their ideological consistency. Since few people think that using drugs is a good idea, this is an issue where you get to stand up and say, "I don't like drugs, but the government can still dang well keep out of it, thanks."

Baldwin isn't a bad choice, but his willingness to blend religion and government are somewhat alarming. Having said that, I'd not mind dealing with that over the R & D team.

Preferably, though, Barr would be elected. Assuming that he's being honest, he's the most viable candidate in the "also ran" mix.

Since Ron Paul has ducked out, I am voting for Bob Barr and Wayne Root. I am angry with the Republican party leadership that thinks they can do whatever they want by railroading a jerk like John McCain down the American people's throat. They tried that with Wilkie in 1940, Dewey in 1944 & 48, Dole in 1996, and now Marxist McCain, the brainwashed Viet Cong resident whose buddies consist of LIEberman, Feingold, Kennedy, and other leading liberals. When will the Republican party wake up?

I would've voted for Ron Paul if he were running, and his message is the truth to me. Since he's not, I'll vote for Bob Barr, who sounds better just about every time I hear him. I'll admit I don't know that much about Baldwin or his party. Anything in support of the Constitution and limited government sounds good to me. However, I did see some info from their bylaws that seems to go overboard on Christianity in the American system of governance. It seemed contrary to the very basic principle of separation of church and state when I read it. That was kind of off putting, so I'll go with Barr. I think his more moderate pitch of libertarianism is what we need to take it mainstream and show Americans that it is not at all kooky, but a return to the traditional philosophy of American governance. It's a thinking person's party.

Matt, I'm on the same page you are.

Bob Barr isn't a Libertarian; he isn't even a libertarian. He's an anti-Federalist. He doesn't believe that government shouldn't make decisions about your personal life, he just believes that the Federal government shouldn't. He's said—at the LP convention, no less—that he's in favor of states passing laws against gay marriage and drug consumption. Last I checked, libertarianism was about liberty, not about buck-passing.

If you're going to take a stand and vote for someone that has no chance of winning, why vote for Bob Barr? Write in Ron Paul instead. It sends a message to the Republicrats that we aren't going to take crap from then anymore, it sends a message to Bob Barr and the LP that we believe in liberty at ALL levels of government, and it sends a message to Ron Paul that people really do want him in the White House.

Some Dude,
Yes, you're right about Bob Barr having a lot of residual right-wingedness in him. But he has it correct about making Washington stick to the Constitution first and then let things sort themselves out at the state level. Like ol' Michael Dukakis was quoted as saying during the '88 election, "A fish rots from the head down." An old Greek saying, I believe it was, and I'm willing to pull the lever for Barr because he's dealing with the proper first step in getting our government back to where the head of the fish, Washington, is not allowed to spread its rotting nature to the rest of the country. As of now, it has created a national debt that threatens to cause a second Great Depression, and neither the Republican nor Democratic parties are going to do ANYTHING to deal with it. That is truly frightening.

They both don't "want the same thing".

Barr has never condemned US imperialism and criminal wars of aggression. For Ron Paul, it's his centerpiece. No amount of fudging or weasel-wording can obscure the differences. Paul is libertarian, Barr is not.
