Im just saying, your getting about as much say as an illegal alien does in the election process by doing that.

I respect your choice, I really do....I would vote for Barr if he had a chance, and if it didnt mean giving Obama the election. But I would never give my vote to Obama, I cant bring myself to put someone so inexperienced in the white house at a time when the country is so screwed up. I cant emphasize it enough, I do respect your decision. I just really dont agree with it (especially since I think you really dont want Obama in the White House based upon your posts). If I have to vote for someone I really dont agree with to keep another person out of the White House, then that is what comes first, in my opinion.

Because you are still left with evil.


Bar none. It's Bob Barr for president 08

Could not have said it better myself.
The GOP has not been a conservative bastion since 1988 and has moved further to the left every since.

Obama or McCain is nothing more than another 4 year extension to the last 20 years of the Bush/Clinton dynasty. To this day I have not yet understood why Democrats are so unhappy with W. Heck, he is nothing but a pure copy mold of the Democrats Messiah of Lyndon Johnson. He has grown big government to record proportions, he starts a war with no intention on winning nothing and playing politician at the expense of our soldiers lives (I am a VET), and basically wrecked our domestic policy. Sounds like LBJ to me.

Now in 2008 we are handed Obama and McCain. Neither conservative, but one far left liberal running against a left liberal. You have one who does not know what to do but provide concert speak and the other who cannot remember what to do, thus not being able to speak

This year, I will pull the lever for the first time to elect a third party candidate. At least in 2012, Barr may provide America with a path to prosperity once again instead of possilble anarchy from failed socialist policy.

In the 19th Century they would shout "God Save the Queen" today, we just need to quietly pray for "God to Save America!"

McCain, because I sat here for three months reading before I signed up, watching the Clinton and Obama supporters fighting each other...If democrats are that mean to each other I'm pretty sure I don't want another one running this country. Man, you people were hateful to each other...

Do you remember Bush and McCain in the Republican primary year 2000? If not do a google on South Carolina primary McCain Rove 2000. Now that was nasty and may make your point valid. Bush did to McCain what he then did to Iraq.
