What are the main differences between Chuck Baldwin & Bob Barr?

They seem to me to be very similar candidates, though their parties (Constitution & Libertarian) are quite different. Can anyone succinctly point out the main differences between the individuals' beliefs (not the parties')? Thanks

    I can only give you my personal opinions. both are votes for liberty.

    Chuck Baldwin is sincere. Barr I don't believe, he voted for the patriot act, the Iraq war, etc etc. He now is against them, but he answers questions very carefully. I like Ron Paul, and the difference is glaring.

    However, Chuck Baldwin is very religious as a preacher and has an evangelical style. I believe strongly that he is a strict constitutionalist, so I will likely vote for him, for his sincerity. I like the Libertarian platform better than the Constitution party platform, it is only Barr I don't like.

    Beyond where they say the same things, Barr's emphasis is more on legalization of drugs and abortion and Baldwin's more on protecting US Sovereignity. (He is also against the drug war by the feds but would try to stop drugs at the border.) Baldwin is a bit more protectionist than Ron Paul. However, Barr is more smarmy. (I know that isn't helpful, I just don't like him.)

    I WANT to vote for Ron Paul, but it wouldn't be counted in my state. Neither Barr nor Baldwin are Ron Paul, but that is because he has proven principles over a 20 year record. NO ONE else has that.

    i might want to be so jazzed. i imagine his as a lot as date press launch holding that at his press convention tomorrow he 'will state his intentions for the 2008 presidential campaign' is a extremely massive tease, although. it would want to be an endorsement of 0.33 events. yet i like your theory way more advantageous. each and every of the events might want to could do is direct their electors to vote for Ron Paul. And enable the electorate recognize what replaced into occurring.
