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

[constitutional]

Well RP showed a great lack of leadership, in suggesting we support a theocrat, or a socialist. It does seem like there is some cultish behavior going on. I know what it looks like first hand, I grew up a Jehovah's Witness.

He invited Barr, Baldwin, Nader but Barr did not attend -- thus Nader took all the attention.

Seriously, Barr just wants to get our votes but he is doing it through wrong way.

After rumors were spread in advance of the news conference that Bob Barr was dropping from the race – just to hype the event – I became even more hesitant to attend. Those tactics were unacceptable and when asked about it, Ron Paul’s staff simply smiled and said it would attract the press.

I think we would have most definately heard this rumor. We are the all knowing, seeing eye, of the internet.

If Barr was the only third party candidate in my state...I would not vote!

We all read about the rumors floating around about Barr dropping out. I suspect it is totally accurate that the CFL did that to increase viewership. What a shitty thing to do! The empire of lies seems to be strong in the CFL.

I didn't hear it. I heard that some people were hoping that an endorsement was forthcoming.

I agree. Why didn't Barr attend Rally for Republic? Were there some kind of rumors too? Seriously, Barr is trying to isolate his campaign from our movement and yet at the same time trying to break out movement to get votes.

 

[Dorfsmith]

Is the Barr campaign happy now or are they going to keep throwing fuel on the fire? By the time this is over they won't have any votes to lose.

He wasn't asking you to vote for anyone. In fact, he wasn't even ASKING you to vote third party. He was emphasizing the importance of third parties and how the two-party system has let us down.

For the record, I do not agree with some of Ron Paul's positions, but liberty trumps everything for me. I can't remember every agreeing with anyone 100%, and I'm not about to let go of my beliefs just to support RP (or anyone else, for that matter).

This picture best illustrates Bob Barr supporters.

They refuse to see no evil about his support of the war in Iraq.

They refuse to hear no evil about his support of the Patriot Act and the War on Drugs.

They refuse to say no evil about his refusal to cooperate with other third party candidates, drop out of a press conference at the last minute, and then lie about it.

 

[TruthisTreason]

I'm a voter. Nothing more, nothing less. He had a chance to win my vote. Barr lost it! He had a chance to bring me into the LP, Barr lost it. Call it what you will.

 

[V3n]

He didn't call all of us a "cult of personality" there are also "those who want to advance the issues of liberty" whoever is leading it.

I think we can still be both!

 

[Andrew-Austin]

The Bob Barr supporters are acting like spoiled children.

x 50, your the one crusading against a third party candidate, for nary a coherent reason, on an internet forum. You repeatedly use emotionally based rhetoric (talking points w/o any logical substance), and now your calling me a chimp.

Get a grip, go outside and get some fresh air.

Totally in agreement. They are no better than brain dead repubs dems supportings anything with a D or R in front of their name except this time it's an L (L for LOSER).

Despite whatever he says if it looks like a neocon, tastes like a neocon, and smells like a neocon it's still a neocon.

Barr=wolf in sheeps clothing

I saw Barr at the Rally. At least outside the Rally. He also spoke at the picnic.

 

[Malakai]

I fail to see how RP's promoting of 4 clear points of interest (anti-war, pro-privacy, pro-fed investigation/oversight/reform, anti-deficit) are talking about "the man" and not the movement.

Seems getting every third party to agree to some serious pro-liberty ideals is doing exactly what Barr says RP wasn't doing!

 

[Lovecraftian4Paul]

Oh yeah, I left out one of the best parts at the top of his new press release:

May we never forget . . .

In times of crisis, strength in leadership requires boldness of character, clear direction and firm resolve. As we witnessed after the attacks of September 11th, President George W. Bush showed incredible leadership as he stood atop a fire truck amidst the rubble of the twin towers to rally America.

What's this jackass thinking?? "Incredible leadership" is yelling about terrorists in a pile of rubble while you send the real heroes (rescue workers and cleaners) to die in the poison air and dust the next day? Sick!

What a nightmare. This whole thing just sucks.


Look, the Federal Reserve's job is to increase corporate welfare. This has been happening for about a century now. In order to offset the corporate welfare, citizen welfare was created as a direct result because corporate welfare was driving prices too high.

Ron Paul himself has said that he would not end social programs because people are dependent on them. There are too many people in this movement who won't fucking listen and think that poor people getting welfare ARE the problem. That is Neocon Conservative propaganda. They are the RESULT of the problem, that is what Ron Paul attempts to explain. Do ANY of you Bob Barr supporters understand this concept or do I need to explain it further?

Until we fix the problems with the Fed and corporate welfare, we can't take citizens off of social welfare. Once we fix there problem, welfare will inevitably disappear because there won't be a need. The need comes from the system!!

Now that these left-progressives like Nader who understand the problems with corporate welfare are beginning to understand this problem is related to the Federal Reserve, and since they understand social issues of liberty much better than neofascist Bob Barr, they really are not a bad choice... and they are promoting liberty, in total, better than Barr.

But feel free to vote for Barr if that is the only third party candidate you can identify with..

Ron Paul Campaign for Liberty is an Empire of Lies?

HA HA HA HA

Nice Try

Thumbs up. They'll come around eventually. This shouldn't come as a surprise, though. The same group tends to overreact to everything.

Yes. In fact, it's my understanding Barr has been given the cold shoulder many, many times. I'd expect nothing less from Ron's campaign managers....the same people praising Benton now and the holiness that is his position wanted him to resign months ago.

Two very good men are surrounded by awful aides....Benton and his crew being the worst among them.

A pro free healthcare, pro carbon tax socialist is not better than Barr.

Just for the record, this movement is about supporting not only Ron Paul, but also liberty candidates all over the United States, these candidates include people like BJ Lawson.

Ron holds a highly influential leadership position, but its not just about Ron, its about the philosophy of true conservatism.
