Sorry, you just don't wake up from a deep slumber when you are 60 years old and suddenly realize that Liberty and the constitution matter to people and have this grand epiphany and want to devote your life to the small people. In fact for the most part as you age your positions and beliefs become hardened. If anything Barr is doing this for political reasons, power, fame, but if it comes down to his soul, and what he truly believes in, I doubt he has changed much, and he will not have the fortitude to actually implement any of the changes his rhetoric might claim, I would sooner vote for John Edwards over Bob Barr. At least he had the balls to call the war on terror a bumper sticker slogan. In the end "voting record, and "history" do matter as the ultimate determinant in judging a person's character. You people are bandwagon believers. Barr is the type of character that if he doesn't win, maybe next year he will change colours again like a chameleon and run on the Democratic ticket, and then you will see a thread on some board somewhere with a few sane voices saying, "do you not remember what Barr did to Clinton??" and the rebuttal will be, you are so smart!!?!? Barr has changed his ways, can't you see that, he believes in socialized medicine, he wants to spend more on education, I just heard him the other day and he said all these things. FOOLS!
