Comments on: Could Bob Barr Get Ron Paul Vote? http://donklephant.com/2008/05/03/could-bob-barr-get-ron-paul-vote/ Big Teeth. Huge Ass. Surprisingly Reasonable. Sat, 05 Jul 2008 13:28:19 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: suzi http://donklephant.com/2008/05/03/could-bob-barr-get-ron-paul-vote/#comment-408715 suzi Sun, 01 Jun 2008 20:28:12 +0000 http://donklephant.com/?p=5442#comment-408715 I am excited about Bob Barr/Wayne Allen Root ticket! I love Ron Paul but since he doesn't want to continue his campaign in a third party, the LP has given me someone to vote for who is like Ron Paul. Bob Barr has name recognition and has been spotlighted on many mainstream news shows recently. I believe Bob Barr and the Libertarian Party have more chance to make ground than the Constitution Party, although I do like that party also. I want to support a party that has a ghost of a chance to make a dent in this election. NOW is the time for true conservatives to make a move! Come to the Libertarian party which is on it's way to being the new home for true conservatives! I am excited about Bob Barr/Wayne Allen Root ticket!

I'll be writing in Ron Paul in November. I have met Bob Barr, and think that he would make a good presidential candidate for the LP...in some other year, and only after he "put in his dues" and convincingly adopted the LP platform (and not just hold his nose and bite his tongue). His recent conversions do smack of political expediency, and while it would be nice for the LP to finally have a "name-brand" candidate, I would be surprised if more than 50% would support him at the convention. Although to be fair to Barr, at least he has come around on some of his views, and is more of a libertarian than Gravel. :) -DaveP I’m a LP county chairman, and a Ron Paul organizer.

he has a support that sometimes overlaps
with chuck baldwin and mike huckabee…

if he runs with a fellow conservative, the au-h2o
pull at centrist mccain is pronounced, if he does
a ticket balancing, he then cuts into the democrats
as well. hense my above comment! he may need
the tacit acceptance of ron paul to boldly run after
the septmber st. paul convention, even though like
mike graverl right now, he’s affiliated with the

the delegates all, and mccain’s rupturing by 4.5 million

we may see a repeat of 1960 for i think Ron Paul

Ron Paul will NOT endorse Bob Barr, former CIA member (1971-1978) and leading supporter of the War on Drugs in the past who has recently "changed" his views. Ron Paul only endorses trustworthy candidates without suspicious and flip-flopping backgrounds. "Just Say No" to Bob Barr and write in Ron Paul for President. No!

I will write him in on my presidential ballot. Some people might call this a "wasted" vote, but how can voting for what you believe in being a waste? Isn't it a waste to vote for someone you don't believe in? Isn't voting for the lesser of two evils still evil? Yes, I will write in Ron Paul, and for the first time in my 32 years of voting, I will feel good inside. In fact, it will be the proudest day of my life.
