New Barr Press Release: Calls us a Cult of Personality!

[xtravar]

Wouldn't that be like Ron Paul voting for McCain just because he's a Republican?

Not at all, because McCain has a chance of winning and easy ballot access due to their successful numbers in the past.

Barr is a neocon shill, and the libertarian party is a joke now.

Barr was never a liberal, therefore he is not a "neocon." "Neo" means "new," and genuine neoconservatives are pro-war liberals like Feith, Podhoretz, Kristol, Kirkpatrick, etc., who were Democrats (most of the aforementioned worked for either LBJ or Scoop Jackson) and became Republicans when the Dems nominated McGovern.

"Neocon" has become as meaningless an epithet as "liberal" or "cut and run." We, who are supposed to be more politically literate, should choose the correct words lest we be misinterpreted (i.e. if you can differentiate between "isolationist" and "non-interventionist" you should be able to properly define "neoconservative" as well.)

I have to give ya'll a clue. If Ron Paul wants to change the GOP...the only way to do it is to play their game until they trust ya...get more people to do the same...and when you have the power..>THEN you make your move. Rebelling within the party gets you nowhere..as you all have seen. The Straussian Trotskyites who hijacked the GOP were the loudest cheerleaders...gained respect and were appointed into high positions. When they had enough of them in there....they effecitvely shifted the party to their agenda. TOnes

Tones, is there actually a point in here somewhere?

Well, of course there's more to it than that. Dr. Paul advocated protest voting just yesterday, remember?

Must this concept really be debunked yet again? andrew..

I don't think they had to shift the GOP all that far.

The neoconservatives have one main agenda, which is Empire. There are many in Washington willing to sign up for defense appropriation and overseas adventure. Eisenhower warned us, as Major Butler did before him -- this is nothing new!

Compare the ease of selling power to the power-hungry against selling Paul's principled humility to the power-hungry. No comparison!

 

[tonesforjonesbones]

That is what the Straussian Trotskyites did isn't it? Sure it is....we have to reverse it. Please watch G. Edward Griffin's speech on Individualism vs. Collectivism. Thanks. Tones

 

[nc4rp]

after all, theres a reason Paul didnt endorse Bob "Neocon" Barr..

 

[MelissaCato]

Another one down, Another one down .. Another one BITES the DUST !! HEY we're gonna GIT YOU TWO ... ​

 

[tonesforjonesbones]

well actually..truth be told, it further breaks down the chance of any third party making any headway. This is an agenda folks, the Straussian Trotskyites are winning the game. Tones

 

[tonesforjonesbones]

Who, exactly, are you "getting"? Now no third party has any leverage whatsoever...that's really winning LOLLLL Tones. (Kids say the darndest things)

 

[Indy Vidual]

What a nightmare. This whole thing just sucks....

[mitty]

eh. seeing all those still trying to defend barr after what he did. maybe barr ought to look at his own supporters before making such a statement.

 

[tonesforjonesbones]

I am not supporting Barr anymore. nope. I also left the LP. I'm going independent. I have decided that political parties are worthless...too easily infiltrated and corrupted. I have decided to "float". Tones

Spot on.

The neocons tried to get Alan Keyes nominated in the Constitution Party. Kristol was Keyes' roommate in college and ran Alan Keyes senate run in 1988. The Constitution Party was smarter than the Libertarian Party.
