The more choices the merrier. There's 300 million people in this country. Can we get some new people in Washington, DC please? And there's more then 2 parties in this country. Can we have someone besides a Dem or a Rep?

Holy smoke, I thought the Republicans had things sorted out. Now Barr is thinking of running as a Libertarian candidate. Hey guy the election is all but over and you're not part of it. Maybe you could team up with that other perennial loser Ralph Nader, the guy who never knew when to quit. He's a political joke and so are you. Get a life and let the real candidates get on with their campaigning!

Bob Barr, now that names brings back memories…… Oh yea! This:

"In 1999, during the impeachment trial of President Clinton, Hustler Magazine publisher Larry Flynt offered money to anyone who could provide evidence that a prominent Republican had engaged in an extramarital affair. According to the American Journalism Review, "Barr was one of 13 House Republicans chosen to act as prosecutors in Clinton's Senate trial. Barr, Flynt's investigators found, was guilty of king-size hypocrisy: An outspoken foe of abortion, the Georgia lawmaker had acquiesced to his then-wife having an abortion in 1983. And he had invoked a legal privilege during his 1985 divorce proceeding so he could refuse to answer questions on whether he'd cheated on his second wife with the woman who is now his third."[

So he is running as the candidate for the Hypocrite Party?

Bob Who????

I am tired of this bull crap where these politicians just jump up and all of a sudden say they want to run for president like Ross Perot, Jesse Venture, Bob Bar, and all of the rest.

You know there should be a law that if you plan on running for president of the United States then you should do it before a certain time frame. Once the primary’s begins then you should not be able to just jump up and say oh I think I want to run for president the highest office of the land this is absurd and ridiculous.

Good luck running against Mike Gravel… Mike Gravel's avant-garde campaign commercials on YouTube will easily win him the Libertarian nomination, despite the fact that Mike Gravel holds many policy positions that go against what other Libertarians believe in. And Cynthia McKinney will win the Green Party nomination easily, as well. Ralph Nader will probably run on the Reform Party ticket. All 3 of them are former Democrats: Mike Gravel was a Democratic Senator from Alaska, Cynthia McKinney was a Democratic Congresswoman from Georgia, and Ralph Nader was a former advisor to Democratic President Jimmy Carter. As for the Constitution Party, who knows who they will nominate?

By the way, I was just joking about Mike Gravel winning the Libertarian nomination… he has no chance, since many of his policies are different from the Libertarian ones: Mike Gravel wants to fight global warming, he wants universal healthcare, and those are both contrary to Libertarians, who want government to stay out of both of those areas. Bob Barr has a much better chance of winning the Libertarian nomination, since he actually agrees with the Libertarian Party on the issues. I think the best candidate for the Libertarian Party would be Ron Paul, who could easily win their nomination, but he is not running. Too bad.

Great idea! This might split the republican vote and allow an Obama general election landslide!!! Obama '08

What is his platform ….. how does he feel about ILLEGAL ALIENS?
So many questions…..but we really need someone that cares about
America, not the seated President nor the 3 left running for the office so
myself and my family are willing to listen …

Ok Who is Bob Barr again? And why is this news worthy?

And the award for denial and futility in a supporting role goes to…

Still dreaming the impossible dream. Libertarians can be praised for one thing only, and that it their willingness to ignore reality when they find it inconvenient. There are 5% of the people who buy into that bizarre collection of beliefs, but they are convinced that the whole world will follow them someday. They just think we're not listening to them. They remind me of my father, who used to say, "Son, it's not your fault that you are so mistaken about so many things. It is my fault for not explaining them well enough for you to understand." This would begin another long lecture on the proper conduct for a young man. I would have much preferred a spanking to the lecture.

Have fun losing, Barr.

run as an independent,get both democratic and republican votes

Go for it, we need one good reason to vote, one person to support. I know I would bever vote for BHO or MCan't

Bob Barr rEVOLution!

PLEASE DON'T

If Obama becomes the Democratic nominee, I will vote for McCain or Barr

Who?

Run, Bob Barr, Run!

Wow. This is interesting… Libertarianism is making a comeback for sure.

Will he syphon off votes from the Republicans? If so, that's great, otherwise, I hope he doesn't run. Nader is enough of a problem.

sounds good to me. the more options the better. these other three clowns are all the same on the inside.

Why would he waist his money?

I hope he run, that way as a Republican I can vote for him instead of OBAMA, if he don't run OBAMA has my vote. Mccain is not a REPUBLICAN but an opportunist in sheep clothing!

Every Republican should vote against MCCAIN and vote 3rd party!

REPUBLICANS w/o MCCAIN

Excellent. The Ralph Nader of the Republican party.

Don't understand what you're Agenda is.. If you have nothing to put in the System..

Then the system don't need you.. Who's side are you working????

. . . .Who is Bob Barr?

So What? No one supports Libertarians. That's why they run as Republicans.

WHO CARES!

HILLARY WILL BEAT HIM TOO!!!!!!!!

Bob Barr and Ralph Nader. Wow! Wouldn't that make a powerefull combination?I don't mean for president and vice president. I mean for dog catcher at Belview home for the mentaly disabled. On second thought, they might not win there, because even mentaly disabled people
might balk at voting for someone nuttier than they are!

Oh yea! bet this is really going to get the voters engaged. Barr further to the right than Obama is to the left. Wow mix these two together and we would get a John McCain.
Think no real news here, on a good day Barr cannot pull much from McCain.

Who? Never heard of him but I'll look at all the candidates running in the general election and vote for the person I feel is the best candidate to lead the country.

OK,

The dems will have Nader pulling from them, and the Republicans might have this guy pulling from thier canidate as well.

This election year should be interesting…..

WHY IS JUST NOW THROWING HIS HAT IN THE RING. IS THIS HOW HE WILL RUN THE COUNTRY, WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE FOR EVERYTHING???

Bob Barr makes a fine addition to a presidential race where the cause of freedom has finally returned to our political dialogue.

Go, Bob, go.

Hopefully you'll suck enough votes off of Old Grandad to put a Dem in the White House.

I hope you will run, Bob. We need something better than what's running right now.

We reached out and got the bottom of the barrel this time. I hope you will run. I will vote for you. I am looking to see if you have a website.

Run Bob run!!

Oppose MLK day
Support Iraq war
John McCain is a "warmonger"

I welcome Barr's run. I hope he stands up for good fiscal principles and sucks all the votes from McCain like a vacuum cleaner. It's about time the Republicans have a spoiler!!

I'd love to see a viable third party candidate. Lord knows I'm not real happy with the other three. Have to look up his record in congress.

I really don't want to vote for McCain if obama is the nominee. I welcome the new blood and these vampires, AKA obama supporers, are waiting for ya. They are a blood thirsty bunch.

Oh Lord!! Here comes another one…..Good Luck Mr. Barr

Come on down!!! The more choices the better. No one will win a majority, this is the year all things are possible….

Great! I hope he runs so that he can siphon off a few Mccain votes! This should balance out Ralph Nader's annoying presence on the ballot!

Obama 08!

good. At least this guy is a REAL conservative.

trouble maker
