BARR = PLOY TO DESTROY PAUL

Barr to me reeks of George H. W. Bush. Allow me to explain.

Both men were CIA men...Bush was the director, Barr merely worked there...but

Bush rode the tails of the Reagan revolution...he battled with Reagan for the nomination in 1980, and then was chose to be veep, even though he really didn't mesh with Reagan's ideals. I would make the claim that he undermined the Reagan revolution...someone sure did because Reagan never was able to get the budget under control through 2 terms.

IMHO, this is what Barr is thinking of. He wants to get on board for the Ron Paul revolution, so he's beginning to take his talking points on many issues. Barr doesn't strike me as a freedom lover...more an opporitunist who felt the winds changing after losing his seat in congress. If we allow Barr into the revolution, he will undermind it at every turn.

I don't trust Barr...he seems to be saying a lot of good things lately, but I just can't trust a man who does a political 180 after losing his seat. Barr is a libertarian as much as Lieberman is a conservative.

We know Paul leads by example. Well Paul always gives politicians the benefit of the doubt when they express genuine regret and change their mind; for this is the goal!

For example, Paul refused to discuss Romney's Pro-Choice past during the campaign because Romney was campaigning on Pro-Life. Paul rewarded Romney by only debating his foreign policy and monetary policy.

More recently, Paul says he will endorse McCain if McCain changes his opinion on a myriad of issues. Paul knows this is unlikely. Yet Paul consistently lets it be known that he would endorse McCain in this unlikely scenario. What is he trying to tell us?

We must support politicians when they vote Libertarian after hearing our persuasive messages. With only 5-15% of the vote, our goal is further education for growth. We should not compromise our principles to grow. But we must show politicians that when they have a change of opinion based on our educational campaigns, we will reward them with our support. Otherwise, why should they be motivated to change?

Paul said the Revolution was not about him, it was about the message. In regards to Barr, I hear Barr campaigning today on a message consistent with Paul. And Barr will be on the ballot in at least 48 states.

I'm leaning to Barr but only because he's a convert. However, I hope he knows that he's playing with fire and if he tries anything funny, believe me the Radical Libertarians are going to hold him accountable. My voting for Barr is a pragmatic approach so that way freedom can keep on spreading. There are things I didn't like about Barr but I'm able to give him a chance. I love Dr. Paul, I never thought I could actually love what a politician represents. But if I vote for Barr, it's only because of the movement. Remember, a Radical Libertarian (Steve Kubby) endorsed him. But let's try our best with Paul first. If we stick together for the future, we can be the country. Paul did the hard part, he can sleep in peace at night (although I think the campaign HQ could've tried to risk spending some of that money before on winning a couple of states). I just hope that Barr knows what he's doing because if he doesn't, he should be warned that we'll get back at him if he betrays us. It's called blowback, so I hope that he doesn't take us for granted.

What do you mean by "DESTROY" in "PLOY TO DESTROY PAUL".

Surely you don't mean to literally kill him. So what? To prevent him from winning? That's not going to happen. To prevent him from running a writein campaign? To ruin the future of Rand Paul? How is Barr going to accomplish any of this?

What do you mean?

"Know what you know, know what you don't know, and understand and appreciate the distinction."

Advocating for minarchical libertarianism since 1984...

But who cares about that...vote Barr!! Paul is old hat and has given up anyway. I think anyone who has a shot at getting elected is more important than what one believes in....

Barr’s voting record and past affiliations = destroys own credibility and weakens the libertarian party.

Barr = opportunist
Barr= flip flopper
Barr= typical politician
My view of the libertarian party was one of principle and integrity, but now they just look like republacrats , hungry for power.

Paul have to be the nominee for Barr to destroy him? Some people jump to conclusions way to fast.

I'm liking you more every day. I take back any derogatory remarks previously made by me towards you. GalacticWhacko is still my hero though (behind Dr. Paul, of course). Bobby Barrsinister is not part of the revolution, he is just trying to capitalize off of it. Can't wait to get to St. Paul for some fun.

Bob Barr, nor any other politician, can derail our revolution train! We are like a high powered locomotive on the path to Liberty!

Don't get side-tracked with supporting anyone other than Ron Paul. One of three people is going to win this election, Clinton, Obama, or McCain - most likely Obama. If you cannot support any of them, then the best choice is to support Ron Paul. For any other candidate, it is too late and they have too little support to have much of an impact.

However, if all those dissatisfied with current government and the current candidates, including Libertarians, stand behind Ron Paul, then it will only help to strengthen the message.

Please support Ron Paul, rather than diluting the dissent among less popular candidates.

I'm starting to think that some Ron Paul people are creating a cult of personality around Ron instead of just thinking about advancing the cause of liberty. This is how all third party style movements die out, they get too wrapped around one leader and then no one else can ever measure up to his standards, example: Bob Barr

don't delude yourselves.

groupthink at it's best. anyone who voted for the patriot act will never have my support. anyway, does everyone have a crystal ball - how do you know ron paul will not get the nomination? it may be improbable, but there is still a possibility. of course, no one wants to back a loser, but until the RNC in sept - i am ron paul all the way.

We see the scam. continue on McCainiacs

See how Barr has divided us? He has been a complete success....

United we stand is the only way this Revolution is going to work. We the People must remain one. As I have said before: There are only two parties now: WE THE PEOPLE vs. THE GLOBALISTS.
