LOL@Bob Barr: McCain is on a "farewell tour and a vote for McCain is a wasted Vote"
by Mark Silva

Here's a voice we haven't heard from lately: Bob Barr.

And the Libertarian candidate for president, suggesting that Republican John McCain has embarked on his "farewell tour,'' is telling conservatives that "a vote for McCain is a wasted vote.''

Some might say the same of the Libertarian candidate, drawing low single-digits in anyone's serious polling. But then, a vote for Barr may well settle the score in a close contest for McCain and Barack Obama in some states.

"The wheels on the Straight Talk Express have come off," Barr, the former Republican congressman from Georgia, said in a statement released from Atlanta.

'''Sen. McCain will be spending the last two weeks before the election on his 'farewell tour' across America. Sen McCain's mixed and angry message, as well as his support of big-spending policies, have killed any chance McCain may have had to win this election.

"Now, principled conservatives can vote their conscience instead of voting for a faux-conservative just because he carries the Republican label," Barr said. "Small 'L' libertarians don't have to vote defensively for the lesser of two evils because it is clear that McCain no longer has any realistic chance to win the election.

"A vote for John McCain is a wasted vote," says he.

2. I have had it up to here with Bob Barr's negative campaigning!
Why can't he leave that tired old man and his frigid junkie wife alone?

8. Yes, registered Republicans! If you are disgusted with the McCain-Palin ticket,
please consider Bob Barr, Ron Paul, or even Ralph Nader!
