Barr & Root think they'll get the Revolution & $30 million

Barr's picture scares me. I have no desire to google his name. And his VP gave to Liebermann? yuck.

I don't disagree that a Ron Paul Jesse Ventura ticket wouldn't be a WINNER but once again as Jesse says... it's a ballot access problem. In addition with the corrupt voting systems we need to have a movement... not just a few people... we need an army of people in key positions... like election supervisors for example.

We are currently beginning to expose the corrupt practices of the powers that be in the Republican party and we need do the same with the Democrats...

We have allot to do... to continue to get the world out, develop our network of communicating the truth to the average American, discrediting the corporate media, moving people into the system and continuing to raise the important issues one person at a time if necessary. We've got to continue to let people know there is another way... and they have to participate... 50 million people voted in the primaries... but theres another 200 million that didn't vote that could have!!!! We need to get those people fired up!

Bob Barr NEVER EVER DONATED TO Dr. Ron Paul in HIS LIFE

Check out the donation records.
after you see it try Chuck Baldwin in Florida and youll see he donated on December 16th Tea Party Day. Ofcourse not counting all the money he spent to for expenses to fly and travel accross the US to campaign for the Good Doc

Heres Barr's Donation record since 1996 till date

Since I made so many threads about Bob Barr I encourage someone else to write about this crap
Oh yeah and btw Barr's VP donated to Joe Lieberman and endorsed a McCain-Lieberman Ticket for POTUS

Ron Paul

Not without reaching out to a LOT of new folks.

There are a LOT of Ron Paul supporters who feel they were "burned" (ripped off? suckered? defrauded? bamboozled? or just disappointed?) by the way the campaign squandered money, AND the way that they continue to hold MILLIONS ($1 of nearly every $6 raised) and NOT campaign with it.

Certainly not everyone feels that way -- but a LOT of people do.

So I sincerely doubt that the people who DO feel that way will be donating to ANY candidates any time soon -- and even if they do donate, it will be with less money (if only because the economy is tightening up so much).

I doubt Barr & Root will be able to raise 1/10 the amount that Ron Paul did -- unless they resort to going after "deep pocket" donors and other shenanigans (purportedly Barr's own "leadership PAC" has a million or so sitting around).

Barr will not get one WORTHLESS dollar of mine. RP knows we will research everyone who wants our support and make the correct decision if we decide to not write in Ron Paul.

I think Sabrin/Ventura would be a great idea for 2012. RP too, but I'm not sure if he'll be up for it then.

Dr. Paul says he won't leave the Republican party to run on a third party ticket. Jesse has stated it's too late for him to consider a presidential run. Back to the drawing board.

What I would LOVE to see is the LP and Constitutional parties working together behind a single set of candidates. Still, I doubt RP would endorse anyone outside the Republican Party and, that's unfortunate.

The only way your scenario can work is if RP were to accept either the LP or Constitutional Party nomination which have already been decided.

RP's unwillingness to run third party has eliminated some very interesting possibilities.

forget barr.

If Barr understood anything about the Constitution he would have never voted yes on the Iraq war.

Being true to the Constitution means that no lies can fool you into ignoring it.

He is a plant by the elite to diffuse the movement. We will see more of them.

The "30 million" they are after is now flowing to Congressional races. And they will continue to flow in the years to come.

While many see the Presidency as the holy grail of this movement, we need to understand that the reason America is in the pickle it's in is because Congress has failed to uphold their oath of office.

The unitary Executive, preemptive war, the nanny state, civil liberties, all these things can be fixed with a Constitutionally honoring Congress.

Congress is supposed to be the "people's voice" in government, and the people have been derelict in their duty to monitor them. So Congress has been hijacked by Corporations and elitists.

It's time to take Congress back. Educate your neighbors, your friends that Congress belongs to them, and THEY are responsible for it's actions.

If I wanted to vote for Bar or Root I would have switched to the Libertarian Party. I did watch the LP convention on CSpan and was amazed at how American it felt until I saw Root talking. That guy is a snake in the grass just like all the other politicians we are trying to get away from. When I watched him speak I thought to myself different name same personality. That guy is no more for the cause of liberty than Kissinger. The LP will not get my support as much as I want to give it to them. They did have my support for about 30 minutes as I was amazed by the proceedings and transparency of the vote. They lost it as soon as I saw Root talking like a used car salesman.

How about NO MORE BARR threads for them to post on!

Paul/Ventura FTW!

i dont think id be voting barr. i honestly dont know him all that well and plan to do some good research in the coming weeks when i have some more time from my as of lately busy schedule.

funny side note, i was watching olbermann interview with mcclellan tonight as it was on the tvs at my local gym, and olbermann asked him who he liked as president. he responded that he has been too busy with his book to really take notice but he plans to really sit down and listen to the candidates points of view before he decides. when have we all turned into a bunch of morons (collectively speaking, not here at the DP) where we all trust what a candidate says at any given minute of the day? at least any traditional candidate. RP can slay any talking head, doesnt have to make shit up. but hes definitely the exception here.

Call me what you will, but I support Barr.

I've followed/supported Ron Paul from day 1, and Bob Barr will now get my vote.

Bob Barr is not a neo-con, but I don't expect too many here will believe me. He's always been a pain in Bush's side. (read his wiki page).

Bob Barr voted for the Patriot Act for the sole purpose of putting in sunset provisions where it must be voted on every 5 years. If not for Barr voting for it the provisions wouldn't be there and it would be permanent. He testified before Congress in 2005 against the Patriot Act.

Bob Barr voted for the Iraq war authorization. Only 6 Republicans voted against it. Barr believed the Bush lies just like the majority of the American people did following 9-11. Even Ron Paul fell victim to this when he voted for going into Afghanistan then later regretted it because of the way it was mishandled. There is room for regret and repentance.

As member of the Libertarian Party National Committee, Bob Barr proposed the resolution back in December requesting Ron Paul run as the Libertarian nominee if he fails to win the GOP nomination. It passed unanimously. This was effectively even stronger than a standard endorsement.

Finally, Bob Barr is spreading Ron Paul's message right now regardless of the way he voted in the past. He also has great mainstream media access giving him the avenue to spread the liberty message to more people. At this point it really is all about the message, not the man, as Ron Paul has said. Bob Barr is the only candidate left who can effectively spread that message.

Writing in Ron Paul does nothing but help your own conscience. It will not help spread the liberty message.

For these reasons I will support Bob Barr and I will support Ron Paul. Both can be done up until going into that voting booth. At that time I will vote for Bob Barr.

If Barr gets enough votes (he won't win) it can/will make it easier for the LP to be on the ballot in 2012. It will show that a third party can be viable.

I'm voting for Bob Barr for practical reasons that will help the Ron Paul message grow.

I think this is THE best idea for a chance for the POTUS.
Getting the two together very powerful.
Getting RP or his deadbeat advisers to get hungry for it? unlikely, but hoping.
I am beginning to lose hope if this idea does not catch on.
I cannot vote for any other candidates...period
This could be BIG if all parties came together and ran with it.
RP is 72 and there wont be another chance.
Ventura has the balls to go where many wont....
People will respond to REAL truth not fake change.
This revolution needs a shot in the arm....BAD....we are fading...not gaining
Anyway,good to see you back Treg

flame away....

I marching in Washington on the 12th of July ... even if I'm the only dumb bastard that shows up. I'm marching to Minneapolis - hopefully from Green Bay - see what my schedule allows. Unless Dr Paul endorses another candidate, I am voting for him in the fall, even if I have to write him in. Moreover ...

I am working on the Fed issue, and I will tirelessly berate my Illinois congress people to resume silver coinage, and get rid of the central bank. I will be supporting liberty-minded candidates in every election, at every level from dog catcher to president from now until the day I die. That's the plan.

Dr.Paul said it himself. The R3volution is about much more than just one man. I have been a Libertarian Party member for over 10 years. I first learned about the LP and the ideals of freedom from a Republican congressman from Texas in 88 who was endorsed by Timothy Leary to run for president. I thought he was a radical and that is what I was looking for but I was too young to vote. Barr is no saint for sure, but as the Libertarian pick he is worth a look. He is no Harry Browne or Ron Paul..... but..... The Libertarian Party is an important part of the R3volution they have been all about it and fighting the up hill battle for ballot access and education for 35 years for freedom and they still can be a viable conduit to the white house.
The thing about Barr is that he is really just the kind of person we need. He was on the other side and he came to a great awakening. He publicly has apologized for his prior thinking and voting. We have a nation of people to convert. If Barr can come over to our side anyone can. I always send money to the LP nominee and support the local party. I am also in the Republican Party due to Ron Paul's campaign and a delegate to the state convention. I believe Barr is sincere and that his conversion is genuine. He has been fighting to end the Patriot Act and to repeal bills on pot he once supported and authored. If we can not forgive a man who basically crucified him self at the LP convention we have learned nothing from Dr. Paul. We have 534 members of congress and 100 in the senate that need to make the jump the Mr. Barr has made. If his run is a success and he can raise money it will send a message that the Ron Paul revolution was not some fluke about a lovable Congressman and his kooky cult followers. It will send a message that it is freedom and limited government that is popular. Barr wants to end the patriot act and was the one who made sure it had a sun set clause in it. I see his run as nothing but positive and it is an extension of this movement. Barr needs to be in the debates to bring up our issues. Ending the war and the PATRIOT act, ending REAL ID and federalism. The only way he will get in the debates is for him to get 15% support. Sitting around with your Ron Paul slim jims and your one horse who will likely not have a chance to debate Obama on the national stage while there is a man who can and will carry our issues in to the national debate is really closed minded. I may still end up writing in Ron Paul but I will vote for Barr in any poll I see if Ron Paul is not included and might send him some money to.
