Report from the Bob Barr Press Conference

i've thrown around theidea of voting for him, and have even said I probalby will.. all the while when I would listen to him he came across as power hungry, wnating the office more than to serve the people- and it made me rethink my decision every time. now, i'm even more compelled to not do it.
 
LP 'radicals' support Ron Paul and NOT Bob Barr

Just wanted to let you know: The person Bob Barr allegedly beat out to be the LP nominee, Mary Ruwart, is a friend and fan of Ron Paul. I gave a speech at the Libertarian National Convention urging a nomination of Dr. Ruwart so that we could continue the Ron Paul Revolution through her candidacy. Radical Libertarians and conservative constitutionalists (Ron Paul is both) don't see eye to eye on every issue, but I want to make sure it is known that BOB BARR DOES NOT SPEAK FOR REAL LIBERTARIANS, PERIOD. He is a neocon abortionist thug who hijacked our party, and we are outraged at his no-show at this press conference.

Thank you.

bleh...

Dont you get it? It's about destroying the 2 party system.

There are lots of socialists out there, and yes... i myself have strong disagreements with them, including nader.

However, he is an asset of ours now.

Ron paul understands, why dont you? We need to send a message to the establishment by not voting for the 2 party system any more.

Dont vote for nader, but for gods sakes dont vote for McCain!!! You have 4 3rd party options to choose from.

If we get the cumulative 3rd party votes anywhere around 20%, that could be enough momentum to really get the revolution flowing!

End the Fed, end the NAU, end the WARS.

It's about stopping globalization at this point!

Are you an american or a globalist?

I understood we were not going to win jackshit in 2008. I understood that back in May of 2007 when I signed up for this forum. I understood it when I drove all around the country handing out info. What I didn't understand is that the actually leaders of the movement would actively engage in the flame wars and try to divide the camps.

This dispute is not about issues of substance, it is an ego war about who showed up at a national presser. It is no different then arguing about lipstick on a pig hoping that no issues of substance are addressed.

I don't agree with Barr in skipping it, I don't even like Barr as a person. If I ever thought he could win, I would absolutely be opposed to anybody voting for him. I always thought this was about the future, and gaining ballot access for the next go round.

Apparently I was wrong. What a waste of time!

ARC is one of the sharpest nails in our box.... stormcommander is his own man. you... are very accusatory and not helpful and add little to the debate.
 
What really makes me sad is that I suspect that Ron Paul was disappointed by Barr. People can disagree with Paul, and that's ok, but disappointing Paul? That's just wrong.

thanks Rhys.

I'm just shocked right now. Why would Barr and Don decide to open a pissing contest over this, and use the forums to suck others in? Barr will be nothing in 4 years.

makes ya wonder... but we are libertarians... that's what we do.
 
I'm disappointed he mentioned Cynthia McKinney. She is so far to the left that she makes Obama look like Barry Goldwater. :rolleyes:
 
Barr decided to abandon Ron Pauls event, what's so hard to understand about that? It's a slap in the faace of all of us and he deserves to be hated.

the event Ron Paul organized to bring unity to the third party candidates and his event coordinator posts this thread.

In all honesty, how do you think it is working out?

Deep down, I knew this man could not be trusted. I now have no one to vote for in AZ. I think I'll move to LA so I can vote for Ron Paul.

Actually, I was wondering about this. Could we all just get post office boxes in either Louisiana or Montana that way we have a legal address there and could vote in one of those two states for Paul? Basically do what Hillary did to qualify to run for senate in New York a number of years ago?

Anyone know the answer?

we could, but we'd be about 300 electoral college votes shy of a win.
