This is just a, no way I’m voting for Bob Barr post. I would never vote for him when I lived in GA and no way I’ll vote for him to be President either. I didn't like him before he started working for the ACLU and I certainly didn't take to liking him more once [...]

What's kind of amusing is how many people who aren't going to vote for Col. Tighe because he's "not a real conservative" and they're sick of "choosing the lesser of two evils" are going to pull the lever for Bob "Daddy State" Barr because he's supposedly had some kind of Road-To-Damascus experience and weaseled his way into the Libertarian party.
