    No. Barr is only a recent convert to Libertarianism. Harry Browne and Ron Paul were much more serious past Libertarian Presidential candidates, though the media ignored them.

    for sure the guy awakened and he's determining that this election isn't any contest. With Obama, it somewhat is Lose-Lose for Libertarians. a minimum of with McCain/Palin, there are some themes on which Libertarians ought to declare that they agree. Too undesirable he's doing it this previous due. I hate having to vote for the lesser of two evils, yet until we've a stable candidate with stable opportunities of prevailing, we are able to might desire to do the final we are able to. And we are able to definitelly do greater constructive than Obama. little question approximately that.

    Probably since the Regan revolution the Republicans have driven the bus into the ditch. I just don't see how true conservatives can vote for the republicans since the republicans are now the big goverment and Spend Spend Spend us to the poor house party. Don't worry the

    republicans will just print more money (yeah like that ever worked).

    If John McCain keeps shooting himself in the Foot(first the Palin pick, then the crap with her family, and then the fact she is getting investigated, on top of all the crap McCain has done/said($ 5 million is middle class?). Barr won't win but he will be noticeable if the Mayhem ensues.

    No third party candidate has ever been taken seriously. Perot came closest, and once the debates began, people understood that a leprauchan with a southern accent could never represent them before the world.

    I feel bad for the staunch libertarians, ron paul accepting the nomination would have really been huge for you guys. I donated 100$ to him and 100 $ to Obama, Obama just won his party's nomination or i'd be supporting Paul
