When we have to start posting truth files for or against Bob Barr, we are getting desperate...

I am considering a vote for Barr.

First, however, I need more information.

“Open Borders” and “Amnesty” are absolute deal killers for me.

Barr scores 90% on Economic Liberty.

When Libertarians talk about “Economic Liberty,” they almost always include some form of Open Borders.

That is a HUGE red flag to me.

I have read this post and both the hyperlinks.

I'm still not clear what Barr's CURRENT position is on immigration.

Barr has been on the ACLU payroll for the past few years.

Why not vote for Obama as that is who you will get.

If you don’t like liberals, why do third paryt voters always make sure liberals win.

“Why not vote for Obama as that is who you will get.”

There are better options. (McCain isn’t one of them.)

“If you don’t like liberals ...”

I generally like liberals. I just think they’re evil.

Kurt Evans - thanks for the link.

Barr’s language makes me very uneasy.

There is no shortage of skilled labor, unskilled labor, or willing workers in the USA.

When employers increase pay, sweeten benefits, and improve working conditions, Americans line up to apply for the job.

If employers can’t afford to pay more, then they need to automate, or improve management, or offer new products, or go out of business.

As a matter fact, that should be a Libertarian principle for business owners:

“If you can’t compete with your current business model, create a new business model.”

Oh get off the ACLU charge against Barr. You’ve beaten that charge to death on FR. There are, rarely but occasionally, times when the principles the ACLU espouses are in line with what conservatives and libertarians espouse.

itsamelman - thanks for the laugh.

I'm angry, not crazy, at least not yet.

Six months to get there, though.

Barr, McCain, Obama, Clinton, or.....Suicide?

Haha. Out of the thousands and thousands cases pursued by the ACLU those which benefited conservatives can be counted on one hand. Incignificant. The ACLU is the enemy within. On another note if Barr is really interested in becoming President he should get a shave. Americans don't elect moustaches for office. The last time was Teddy Roosevelt...

Its like the Paulite strategy. Attention is the goal.

Personally, I would much rather know what Barr scores on the
hasbeen-odometer.

Bob Barr raised money for the ACLU. He is no friend of Conservatives.

If you can’t detect the difference between Barr and Obama you have a political tin ear.
