I think it is a little too late for that after missing the conference. That was slap in the face to the movement. Hippocracy at work, people.

What the hell is going on today? No wonder ppl think we're fringe... Barr misses the major announcement and then posts this? Barr better not make us look bad... hopefully the MSM doesn't chew this up.

I think you have your timeline backwards. He asked Dr. Paul to be his running mate, with WAR's approval, BEFORE dissing the joint press conference.
For the record, I think not appearing was a mistake. I think Barr took some bad advice.
Perhaps Paul declined because Barr can't even agree to the four key principles listed here.

The one true thing is the the Republican party
will not be changed from within, it will implode into oblivion first. Seriously, any party that has Guiliani as a member is a lost cause. Never mind letting the mindless idiot speak at a convention.

The ONE issue I don't get with Ron Paul is his insistence on sticking with the GOP. If he WERE to have accepted Barr's "final offer," the team may have gotten 15-20% of the votes...
I mean...Look how many "conservatives" are now voting GOP because of McCain's VP pick.
I must say that I am quietly angry at Ron Paul for not accepting.

My opinion is that his refusal has more to do with his respect for his seat in the house, he is responsible for his district and can't betray them by running for Pres on a different ticket.
So, while it would have been amazing for him to run with Barr, I'm not upset with him.
If Barr liked Ron Paul that badly, why didn't he ask RP to be his vice before picking Root to be his vice?
Barr has sour grapes towards RP and stiffed him and ALL RP supporters today... Barr just sunk his campaign. Barr threw his support to the GOP today instead of to the freedom movement.

Agree. RP is much more effective from here on out in the Congress, especially since he will hopefully have some Ron Paul Republican's joining him in Congress shortly.

Hi,
With 15 to 20% of the votes, Congressman Paul would have been scorned as a, "spoiler" and blamed for Obama.
