What are the main differences between these two presidential candidates?

I reside in the state of Georgia, and unfortunately both the Democrats and Republicans have made it completely impossible for any third party candidate to get on the presidential election ballot that was not already grandfathered in. The ballot access laws here are the worst in the nation. Therefore, I am not going to be able to vote for Chuck Baldwin (who would be my first choice) as the Constitution Party will not be on the ballot.

I will be voting for Bob Barr, however. If there ever was an election year in which a third party candidate could make a difference its this year. Between McCain and Obama, this is the worst choice of candidates in this two-party system we have here in the US.

Bob Barr is a latecomer to libertarianism, and I dont' believe a true convert.

He is a rabid anti-drug crusader and opposes even medicinal marijuana. He is also forcefully opposed to gay marriage and one of the prime movers of the Defense of Marriage Act. It goes without saying that he is anti-choice, although one of his wives did have an abortion while they were married. He was one of the House prosecutors in the Clinton impeachment, which in my view was no more than a titillating farce. He voted for the PATRIOT Act and the Iraq resolution.

My view of Bob Barr is that he is more than anything else an agent of intolerance, dressed up in the honorable mantle of libertarianism.

I say, understand the themes and the place the applicants stand, and vote your experience of right and incorrect, whether you're particular the candidate you vote for won't win. the situation is that third-social gathering applicants are seen as in basic terms taking votes from between the main 2 events. Republicans are bitter approximately 1992, because of the fact they think of Bush might have won for particular, if Perot hadn't run, and further 19% or the conservative vote. without Perot, Bush might have won. Clinton won with 40 3% of the vote, no longer a majority. Democrats are bitter approximately 2000 and 2004, because of the fact they p.c. Ralph Nader's self sufficient candidacy as handing the election to George W. Bush, by taking in basic terms adequate votes from Gore to supply Bush a victory. yet inspect the case of Barry Goldwater in 1964. He took a stand for the themes he believed in, and nonetheless defeated, his concepts (economic accountability, small government, sturdy protection) have been a torch picked up and carried by others in the Republican social gathering, which culminated in Ronald Reagan's election in 1980, additionally winning the help of many "Reagan Democrats". It took sixteen years, yet Goldwater's principled Republican conservativism, in its consistency won converts, and finally the White abode. So vote your experience of right and incorrect, who you think of is the terrific guy. I voted Perot in 1992 and 1996. I voted Nader in 2000. and that i be apologetic approximately balloting Bush in 2004. even in the journey that your third-social gathering candidate loses, in the event that they get adequate help, that provides them greater effectual possibilities and momentum in 4 years, in the event that they proceed to be ideologically consistent. what's occurred to Nader is his base has lost self assurance, and resigned to the incontrovertible fact that if human beings vote for him, they are going to easily skinny the Democrat turnout and get a Republican elected. And Republicans who're disappointed and can vote self sufficient sense an identical way. yet while i'm no longer pleased with the Democrat or Republican, i will vote self sufficient. If adequate try this it's going to make a difference, over the years.

I'd go with Baldwin. Barr has some racism issues, even though he finally showed Neo-Nazis the door.

The sad news is that these two are neither one fit for the job. They are primarily politicians and that word connotates the use of any and all dirty tricks to win. We have a worn out old soldier and a semi-black orator to choose from. One of these spouts the ''''change" song without knowing what to change. The other one wants to keep the status quo without any real notion on how to fix a country that has been bankrupt for many years. Is this the best that our country has to offfer? At the last minute, I will flip a coin to decide unless some plausible alternative comes along.

Bob Barr- conservative, fair tax, less govt-

Baldwin- I don't know, never heard of him

No difference. Americans hardly know ANYTHING about them. They don't have a chance.

Why don't you choose a candidate that has a chance of winning?

Change and no change.... War and no war... poverty and no poverty.... 2.75 gas and 5$ gas
