So the schmuck wants Obama to be President?

Come on, there’s NO POINT in running when you haven’t a snowball’s chance in Hell of winning more than 2% of the vote. I understand being ticked off at the Republican Party - because I also feel that way, knowing that Barr is correct in saying that it has strayed far from our values. But handing victory to the most Left-Wing candidate in our nation’s history while we are at war is simply INSANE!!!

I know the theory...”it’ll be so bad under the Dems that Conservatism will make a huge comeback, etc., etc.” Well, guess what, there’s no certainty that this will happen - you do remember President Dole, don’t you? No? Why not, we were supposed to get rid of that hick Clinton after one term?

I don’t like the direction of the Republican Party in the last several years, and I despise McCain. But I love my country more, and will not stand by while the likes of Obama tear it to shreds.

Barr should NOT run, and I say that as someone who probably agrees with him 98% of the time on the issues and think he’d make a fantastic President. Put your ego on hold, Bob, so that we don’t have to deal with the first Muslim President and his insufferable wife. Do the troops in Iraq a favor and stay off the ballot - because by being on it you’ll make their entire mission and the deaths of 4,000 of our finest worthless.

You are smarter than Barr and 99.9% of libertarians.

Is it me or is every Democrat candidate the "most left-wing in history"? I distinctly remember hearing this about Gore and Kerry.

We could all sit around a bar for hours and come up with the worst things the government has ever done, or the worst policies ever implemented, or the worst violations of the constitution.

But, in my mind, there is on singular thing that is the worst thing this government has ever EVER done, which is the worst violation of the constitution EVER done, and which is the greatest threat to our freedoms. That is the criminalization of political speech that was proposed by McCain and signed by W. I don't care who he is running against. Every American has a duty to himself, his children, the constitution, and the nation as a whole to not pull a lever for McCain. There is no worse thing that can be done to the country then elect as President the chief champion of Federal regulation of political speech.

I’m glad there. Will be one candidate in the election that has conservative principles and will defend the constitution, aren’t you?
