According to the video below, former House Majority Leader Dick Armey has said that “many Republicans will vote for Libertarian candidates in House races.”

The Washington Times is reporting that former House Whip Tom DeLay’s wife plans to pull the Bob Barr lever on Election Day:

Tom DeLay will vote for John McCain but the former House Republican leader said his wife, Christine, is planning to vote for Libertarian presidential nominee Bob Barr.

“I’m trying to convince my wife not to do that,” the Texas Republican told editors and reporters at The Washington Times on Friday. “She said it publicly yesterday.”

Maybe the wimpy RINOs will get a clue when even their own spouses won’t vote for them. :)

And I have a strong suspicion that James Carville’s wife will NOT be voting for Barack Obama.

BEFORE THE ELECTION:

"Ha! You Losertarians will never get more than .0001% of the vote! Go smoke some pot or look at child porn!

AFTER THE ELECTION:

"Waaaa! Why did you Loserdopians cause our RINOs to lose! Waaaa!"

Yeah, but McCain is. She's got more guts than Tom.

I didn’t say he was, and his wife didn’t say she wouldn’t vote for him.

Geeze.

Folks . . . I can't wait to see the RINO extermination hunt take place on Tuesday November 4th, 2008. I plan to wear this shirt to the polling station. It's message will be lost on most !!!

I haven't decided yet whether I'm going to vote for Bob Barr or write in Fred Thompson

She must be a liberal. Who else would vote for a former ACLU attorney?

Pathetic.

I will hate living in the Obamanation. The guy will be praised by the media and the left, our enemies will take advantage of us, our military will be demoralized, and our economy will tank.

Those of us who criticize will be labeled racists, and steps will be taken by the super-majority Democrat operatives in Congress to shut us down. It’ll start with the “Fairness Doctrine”, and may end up with the Congress authorizing three or more NEW justices to the Supreme Court, creating a court of 12 justices...the Messiah Obama will name them, and our SCOTUS will turn socialist for the next 50 years.

“with all due respect.....Tom Delay is nowhere near a RINO.”

He is worse. He is totally incompetent. Through egotistical bungling, he managed to turn his District (TX-22)over to a liberal democrat in 2006. He and Newtie are poster boys explaining the GOP slow motion train wreck 1996 through 2006. Most of he and his colleague's turned pimp. Bob Bar is a ACLU pimp. Newtie is a publicity hound. Tom turned lobbyist pimp. We have two good Congressmen in the Houston area: Ted Poe and John Culverson

Lesser likelihood but still a chance things come out the same with McCain as President. Choose your poison.

Barr doesn't appear half bad under these conditions.

McCain has ticked me off plenty but mindlessly labeling him as a "RINO" is not accurate. On some issues he is a flaming liberal. On other issues he's a solid conservative. If one takes the emotion out of it by looking at ACU ratings you see his lifetime rating is 82 and Obama's is 9.

I'm somewhat sorry to say that Dick is correct. I can assure you that this particular lifelong Repub will be sending as loud a message as I can.

McCain is solidly conservative on many issues.

Problem is...he's wacko on others (my main peeves being his stand on global warming and stem cell research).

That being said, I will have NO problem pulling the lever for him in Nov. McCain is miles better than the Dems.

Does anyone really care who Tom’s wife votes for or against?

I don't disagree. By the way his ACU rating has been all over the place.

In '99 it was 77.

In 2000 it was 81.

In 2001 it was 68.

In 2002 it was 78.

In 2003 it was 75.

In 2004 it was 72.

In 2005 it was 80.

In 2006 it was 65.

Is he a RINO? I think he is. One day he'll "cross the aisle" and he won't come back.

How many ACLU attorneys have lifetime ACU ratings of 98%?
