I'll probably vote for Barr only because he can't win.

Since a write in for RP won't be counted in California I might vote for Barr because I know he can't win but I want my vote counted as an anti neocon vote. If he had a chance of really winning, probably not because I don't trust his integrity and there seems to be a lot of hyprocracy in his past. He personal life in the past pretty much sucks but he is running on a platform that is closest to mine at the moment and that is what message I want out.
I am a man without a party.
The democrats are too infested with socialists, the Republicans are too infested with neocons. The libertarian party is too infested with fanatical drug users and the CP has too many bible thumpers.

and bill maher simultaniously on bended knee in 2004 begging & pleading with him not to run...again!

Another +1 for this post. I'm voting Paul write-in because they are supposedly counted around these parts, but I know I'm lucky in that respect.

Vote for Baldwin! I'm an agnostic and I'm much more comfortable supporting him than Barr. From what I have seen, Baldwin has displayed a great deal of religious tolerance. I don't think he's running on the strict CP platform.

Can't people make mistakes? The CP can go to hell. If it were smart it would join the LP and help out.

Yes, people can make mistakes. But men who were Congressmen in 2002 cannot be forgiven for voting for a preemptive war based on obviously insufficient evidence at a time when wise and principled people were crying at the top of their lungs that rushing to war was an unforgivable unconscionable unconstituional course of action.

For an LP candidate to have a chance at making a dent in this race, they need to have a rock solid voting record opposing the Iraq war. There is no reason for an anti-war Obama supporter to vote for Barr given this vote:

Cry all you want about how Barr should be forgiven, then ask the families of dead and wounded Americans and Iraqis what they think about the YAY's in Roll Call 455 in 2002.

If the revolution is going to succeed, it's going to depend on us winning ex-neocon converts like Bob Barr, both for their votes and for their help in spreading the message.

Christianity's most zealous missionary was an ex-Jew who fed Christians to lions before his conversion. I'm willing to give Bob Barr a chance to be libertarianism's apostle Paul, if you will, in this election.

If Baldwin is on the ballot it will be between him and Barr. I want the the numbers for one of them to be as high as possible.

Nader and the Green party are too full of radical environmentists that put the environment as a controling political agenda. Personally I am a environmentist but I Don't want to give the government the power to enforce scientifically stupid fixes.
In the fall the winning party will not give a damn about how much the third parties get because hell they won! They losing party will be looking at all the defecters trying to find out where they went wrong.
I am not a purist because I realize the America I envision will never be but I stay in the politcal process to move it in the direction of smaller government.
I think that if someone disagrees with me on a few issues it doesn't make them an evil as in the lesser of two evils. If I thought that way you all would be evil:D
