Comments on: Bob Barr: A profile http://thirdpartywatch.com/2008/09/17/bob-barr-a-profile/ Wed, 07 Jan 2009 23:43:30 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=1.5.1.3 by: Luke http://thirdpartywatch.com/2008/09/17/bob-barr-a-profile/#comment-911191 Thu, 18 Sep 2008 10:01:34 +0000 http://thirdpartywatch.com/2008/09/17/bob-barr-a-profile/#comment-911191 I was upset by Mr. Barr's recent snub of the other third parties. The LP needs third parties legitimized just as much as the other thirds. Bob has a chance to make it up to me if he pulls the Texas thing off right. If he can't get Obama & McCain pulled he needs to point to the difficulty that the other third party candidates faced in getting on the Texas ballot and make sure they are afforded the same leniency to state law that I suspect the majors will be given. If he does really get M&O off the ballot then I will fall in love with Bob Barr, and take back everything I ever said. But I'm sure it's just fantasy. The Democratic and Republican party being held to the law? It doesn't happen, and it won't happen. If things were that easy we wouldn't need to be seeing unprecedented cooperation between the third party candidates (hint). I was upset by Mr. Barr’s recent snub of the other third parties.

Russ Verney and Bob Barr would have you believe that this is the result of "true leadership." http://www.nolanchart.com/article4849.html Whether or not Barr and his clan’s efforts are intentional, they are destroying the Libertarian Party’s ability to even remotely advance the cause of liberty.

Since that time, Barr has allegedly reformed and sought the nomination of the very Party which managed to unseat him. Barr's current communications director, Shane Corey was driven out of the Libertarian Party leadership for advocating larger government intrusions into our lives and a perpetuation of the war against terrorism. He also was accused of orchestrating a smear-campaign against Mary Ruwart, a candidate competing against Barr for the LP nomination. Smear campaigns are a normal routine in politics lately. However, the fact that this particular smear originated from the LP leadership, calls into question the objectivity of the Party's power-elite. That Corey eventually ended up working for Barr's campaign is just more fodder for speculation. It can't be easily explained. Barr, a former CIA agent, voted for the PATRIOT act while in Congress and prosecuted hundreds of citizens who ran afoul of the nation's drug laws while he was a federal prosecutor. His track record as a leader for the cause of liberty is barren. And to top off a dubious set of career accomplishments, the tactics he has used to gain the LP nomination are suspect. http://www.nolanchart.com/article4849.html Many of you may not know this, but Bob Barr lost his congressional seat due to an organized LP effort to defeat himself and other “drug warriors” in office.
