Bob Barr is perfect!
:sarcasm:

Congressman Bob Barr (R), Georgia, is a living momument to hypocricy. Author of the "Defense of Marriage" Act (DOMA) and champion of the NRA and the "family values" crowd, he has been married three times and been in court twice for failing to pay child support. In 1992, Barr showed his support for "family values" by licking whipped cream of two stripper's breasts during a fundraiser. A fighter against abortion, Barr encouraged his second wife to have an abortion and paid for it. Having the federal government deny basic human rights to gay and lesbian Americans is part of Barr's "fight for individual rights against encroachment by the Federal government" (NRA). In 1998, Barr spoke at a convention of the white supremacist "Council of Conservative Citizens", but later denied that he was a white supremacist himself. Barr is known to become very angry when asked whether he is black. In 1998, Barr showed his respect for the will of the people by amending the Washington D.C. budget in such a way that the votes in the medical marijuana referendum could simply not be counted. Barr served as House manager in the 1998 impeachment circus, again demonstrating his manifest contempt for the will of the majority of the American people who twice elected Bill Clinton to be their president.

3. He now actually has changed some of his stands to align
with the Libertarian and civil libertarians. Anyway, he should pull votes away from McCain.

6. Changing his rhetoric is not the same as actually changing his views.

7. He doesn't have views.
He has lusts. His stances on issues are plastic, taking whatever form he judges will best serve in fulfilling his lusts.

4. All that's true, but at least he's performing a service to mankind
by splintering the GOP vote. The Ron Paul crowd will come out and vote for him in droves.

8. Register on R-wing sites and PUSH this guy!

"Bob Barr sounds like a good conservative, I like his stance on ______"

Could get 2-3% of McSames votes.

10. Perhaps democrats shouldn't be crowing.
considering that if barr has been driven away from the repukes into the libertarian camp then think how much worse than him the ones that are too nasty for him to stay are for not only people but all life on earth.

15. I figure that the ones leaving the repukes for the libertarians
are the ones that aren't full fledged nazis.
