Might as well support McCain if you're gonna support a neocon. The neocons invaded the GOP years ago and now the LP is their next target. God save us all.

Hard sale when Barr is surrounded by long term libertarians...
He is running on a ticket that has no chance of winning....
What a great plan for another coup!

All of which he is against now. The LP can't win if it expects no-one will change their views. This just means more Republicans will leave their party even if they don't have to be compunction.
Purity is for virgins
Yes, Ron Paul is really pure. He's a complete oddity in DC.
Bob Barr is a bit sleazy and suspect, but he's certainly a lot better than McCain. So who are you going to vote for in the general election - Obama, McCain or Barr? And if you say you'll write in Ron Paul, you're sadly mistaken that they will even count your vote. They won't unless Ron Paul is registered as a write-in, which he won't be.
If the Republicans snub Ron Paul at the convention by not allowing him to be nominated or speak, I'm going to be really tempted to send them a message by voting for Barr in the general election.

I'm hearing Barr can hurt McCain -- then McCain must allow RP a place in GOP.. somewhere.

This begs the question...is there any chance that Paul would be willing to drop the GOP (for now) and move in as Barr's wingman? I know that Barr has a nasty voting record, but he's still the best shot we have, and the number one thing the liberty movement needs right now is bigger numbers. That kind of support-base consolidation could be huge.

Shouldn't he (and anyone else who claims to have changed views) have to prove beyond a doubt that he upholds Libertarian values before you make him top dog? I mean, it's like knowing someone who was an alcoholic for most of his life and then making him president of AA after six months off the booze because he says he's clean.
A sad day indeed. WTF is up with the libertarian party..? They had some great options this year and they choose the neocon who is directly responsible for perpetuating the drug war? A guy who's voting record is anything BUT libertarian? I guess I shouldn't be surprised anymore.

Another reason to work within the GOP. You can't find principles anywhere anymore. You might as well work where you can make the most difference.

Hmm....Kinda like Obama. i'm gonna quote Jesse Ventura "None of the Above".
Like I said, might as well support McCain if you're gonna support a neo-con. Hell, at least McCain admits he's for all of that still, he's not hiding it like some people.

From our own Mainstream Media talking about Barr hurting McCain badly as to costing him the election.

Bob Barr isn't a neocon, but he sure is a friend of the neocons.

Delusional is to believe this man is more like Ron Paul than John McCain. Look at his record, it is all that matters. Delusional is to be blinded by the new shiny (L) next to his name.
