Bob Barr is worse than bad breath.

This guy was a laughing stock when he was in the House.

Bob Barr is not going to get more than 1% of the total vote which is the typical percentage of a third party candidate. He is not going to cause McCain to lose a single state where McCain is favored to win.

Bob Barr has reached the point of “diminished capacity”. He may have had some idea of what was going on, years ago, but he now needs to say something outrageous to just get attention. I think that he started to lose it during the impeachment of Clinton...He remembers the name “Bill Clinton” and just threw it up to compare President Bush to BC in a negative way. Next stop, DEMENTIA. It is really sad to see one end up this way. Wake up Libertarians, he is a loser who will only spoil the result of what should be a McCain victory in November.

>> As much as he despised Clinton, Barr thinks President Bush is worse. “What George W. Bush has done to the fabric of our constitutional government, to separation of powers, to a government of limited powers is absolutely unforgivable,” he said.

I don’t figure he’ll be getting much conservative support with that kind of nonsensical diatribe. Barr’s gone off the deep end.

I’m not a McCain fan — but I see no reasonable alternative. Barr’s position on the WOT and the Patriot Act is a dealbreaker. The Constitution Party guy is a catastrophe. Who’s left? Obama — nut job. Cynthia McKinney — nut job. Ralph Nader — nut job.

These people make John McCain look like a genius.

The Libertarian party is completely clueless on foreign policy.

Have you read "Libertarianism: The Perversion of Liberty" by Peter Schwartz? It really does outline how the Libertarian party has very little in common with people who have libertarian ideals. In this he says "If it were ever successful, it would destroy the remnants of freedom that still exist in this country far faster than of the more explicit enemies of liberty."

Unforgivable? Everyone forgave FDR and he did far worse.

The statement about President Bush alone will keep me voting for Bob Barr. It’s a lie and Bob knows it.

Bob Barr’s transformation to a “moron” is now complete.

I think Barr would be more of a problem if he had charisma.

That Barr is an idiot goes without saying; however, I find it strange how so many FReeps were praising this guy when he railed against McCain but now ridicule him when he correctly points out how incompetently the president has managed his term in office and how it has so negatively harmed the Republican Party.

Bob Barr couldn’t get re-elected to the House and has been a sore loser since then. He jumped aboard the ACLU scam and has been sinking into the morass that he made since then.

“Way to go, Bob. Because getting Osama Obama elected is really going to help the Libertarian cause, right?”

And electing McCain will?

Barr has gone waaaay over the edge...McCain is extremely unpopular with the conservative base...on several issues. The trust issue among base voters is a big question with McCain. I as well as most here see it or hear it all the time.

McCain doesnt look like he even wants to beat Obama but he sure goes after “his” people if they speak up.

I cannot believe we are in this mess...maybe after a few yrs of Obama we can get back on track.

I had a little bit of respect left for Bob Barr until now, I really did.

He’s full of crap. Bush is a great man compared to the great Sink Staining Liar, Impeached42.

I think there may not be much of a republic left to defend if Hussein occupies the Oval Office. McCain goes off the conservative reservation more than I’d like, but Hussein is on another planet.

This is what happens when the Repubs are willing to throw people under the bus rather than supporting them from RAT Attacks. FRATricide.

I would like to have a viable candidate who puts America and American citizens first.

Barr is no Libertarian. He is fully on board with the Mega-Government, socialist Global Warming scam

Dang! Sounds just like John McCain!
