Personal Statement on Bob Barr

[bolidew]

"it just isn't worth it." to vote for Bob Barr EVER!

 

[Sandra]

Has Barr given an explanation to his absence?

 

[acptulsa]

it is the only way now, lp needs an emergency meeting to dump barr.. but hell we cannot even get the movements to unite so i doubt the lp will act...

Yeah, well, the fun part of this is the 'major' parties may be able to get away with changing their candidate on the ballot, but the LP could not--at least not in this state. Hell, the LP is having trouble with the OK ballot because the petition had to be in before their convention and they did not yet know who it would be. You remember that the 'major' parties had this problem in Texas this year and it turned out to be no problem at all for them...

It is my great hope that the alternative parties will present the American people with quality candidates that offer a real option. Clearly the Libertarian Party has failed to do so. Bob Barr has repeatedly broken his promises to Dr. Paul, showed up uninvited at C4L events, and made statement contrary to Dr. Paul's beliefs while still claiming the mantle of heir to the R3VOLution.

So Barr showed up at the Picnic and Rally in MN without even being asked to be there? I had no idea.

 

[HOLLYWOOD]

It's all a publicity stunt... nice move LP speculators, unfortunately, the MSM blacked out the stunt. ALL OF THE msm VIDEO: ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, FOX, CNN, BBC... Zip, Nothing.

Bad move BARR, with the exception of the internet traffic/hits, it will be buried.

TIme to PLAN 2, more media coverage to apoligize and UNITE, but ALL you 3rd party candidates are forgetting who controls the COMMUNICATIONS.

Like I said, a bunch of times before... You want MEDIA COVERAGE buy the 4th branch of Government, PAY UP! They except PAYOLA, or Advertising revenue, your choice of the path to VISIBILITY.

 

[CasualApathy]

Don, do you have any news from the Barr press conference?

 

[itshappening]

I think Barr was "got at"

definitely a dumb move.

 

[georgiaboy]

The following reflect my personal feelings and is not endorsed by Dr. Paul or Campaign for Liberty.

I am deeply disappointed by Bob Barr's decision not to participate in today's press conference just as I have been disappointed with the Barr campaign throughout this election cycle.

The idea that he was busy is absurd. I am sitting in the National Press Club right now waiting for his hastily called press conference to begin. This is the same building where Dr. Paul's presser just ended. Barr committed to participate, but had his campaign manager call us minutes before it started to tell us that Bob thinks "it just isn't worth it." I look forward to hearing him explain how breaking a promise to Congressman Paul constitutes a wise campaign strategy.

It is my great hope that the alternative parties will present the American people with quality candidates that offer a real option. Clearly the Libertarian Party has failed to do so. Bob Barr has repeatedly broken his promises to Dr. Paul, showed up uninvited at C4L events, and made statement contrary to Dr. Paul's beliefs while still claiming the mantle of heir to the R3VOLution.

Hopefully, the LP will find a way to reject this candidate without rejecting the idea of engagement in practical politics.

I think I've seen similar posts here and elsewhere regarding the Ron Paul campaign during primary season.

Anyone else here ever missed a meeting, on purpose or otherwise?

Know of any other campaigns that didn't attend sessions & later wished they had? This ever decided your vote?

Geesh.

Don,

Bob's probably feeling a bit jaded that Dr. Paul, who is supposed to be THE libertarian standard bearer in America, isn't giving his exclusive endorsement to THE Libertarian Party candidate in this election, and is instead broadening his umbrella to include a religious reactionary (Baldwin) and two socialists (Nader, McKinney).

If Dr. Paul's real commitment is to advancing libertarianism, he should be backing THE Libertarian Party's Nominee, not looking to push some Third Party movement that includes many who have little in common with libertarianism.

I'm sticking with Libertarian Party, the Party who truly reflects Dr. Paul's principles, whether he chooses to exclusively acknowledge them for such or not. And I'm sticking with the LP's candidate, Bob Barr.

 

[moostraks]

Barr is a slap in the rEVOLution's face! My how things would have been different with Ruwart. No freedom loving hardcore RP supporter could possibly trust Barr. Barr not showing is a good thing, shows his colors.

[nc4rp]

I called out Barr when he was dissing Paul by discussing the "other 2 candidates" while Paul was still running.

 

[deadserious]

I sent Barr an email asking for my campaign donations to be refunded. I don't expect to get any money back obviously, but if we all did this, it would certainly send him a message.

 

[RonPaulFever]

He just lost my vote.

 

[Kade]

My personal statement:

As a one time resident of Bob Barr's district (Cobb County), I can say with absolute certainty that Bob Barr is no friend of Libertarians. That in person, he is an asshole. In politics, he is an opportunist.

The Libertarians in Georgia railed the moron into the dirt.

Kade, I think we actually agree on this.

Do you think for yourself or do you go by what the conformists and moralists on these boards think?

Do you even know what you disagree on me about?

The link above is his campaign contact form. In the subject line I simply entered "Press Conference", and in the Inquiry Type I put "Donation question".

My message let them know that I just signed up to make a monthly donation to Baldwin.

Nice. I believe the phrase "arrogant twit" was in my message.

Cheryl Miller is from New Jersey... her husband Jim Miller, is a member of a group I do the brand management for. She passed away a few years ago and Jim has continued the fight.

I know. That was the last picture of her taken, if I recall. Barr lost 2 to 1 because of the efforts of the LP... let us never forget.
