Seems to me that some Ron Paul supporters may want to be there if you live nearby.

Bob Barr is NOT a libertarian. He is a tyranical drug warrior that thinks HE has a right to dictate what YOU put in YOUR OWN body!

The fact they let Bob Barr into the LP is sickening!

[MicroBalrog]

Please provide proof. I thikn Barr changed his views on the WosD

[SouthernGuy15]

I don't trust Bob Barr at all. He was a drug warrior who thought he had the right to imprison people for putting substances into their own bodies.

Quite frankly, I consider Bob Barr to be just as bad as Bush.

Bob Barr recently joined the Libertarian Party. He said that his differences with them on drugs were not as great as his agreements with them on other things.

[SouthernGuy15]

Quite frankly, you CANNOT be a libertarian and support the War on Drugs. If you don't believe people have the right to control what they put in their own bodies then you are nothing but a big government thug.

Bob Barr is a typical case of a former congressmen who changed his tune (only slightly) the minute he started getting a check from the LP. He is a douchebag and I am glad I left the LP when they accept scum like him.

There is a phenomenon that seems to be happening more and more. A douchebag elected official will do everything he can to destroy our rights while in office, then as soon as he can no longer help us, claims he was with us all the time.

Well, down the drain with these douches. If I hear he decided to tell Mitt Romney he's a heartless, gutless moron and he punched Duncan Hunter in the nose for being a corrupt jagoff, then used this forum to heartily endorse Ron Paul, I may reconsider this. But I promise nothing.

Anyone want to give me odds he won't endorse the only Libertarian in the race?

[Johncjackson]

There are MANY Libertarians in the race running for the LP. Don't worry, "'big" people in the LP are backing Ron Paul and a lot of Libertarians are not too happy about it. There has been a lot of blogging about how people in the LP are not happy with their field and support RP and/or are trying to recruit new candidates.

As far as Bob Barr. Well there have always been a lot of people involved in the LP who are basically Republican-lite, or Republicans who really hate taxes and couldnt give a about the more liberal social policy aspects. If yu used to be in the LP, you know it's a (small) big-tent of nutjobs.

I dont know why someone who works for one party would endorse another, though.

[JosephTheLibertarian]

The LP is in shambles.... it doesn't seem to do anything right. How can it run a nationwide political movement when it's incapable of even winning a house seat?

I totally agree!

The Libertarian Party lost ALL credibility when they allowed him to join.

[SouthernGuy15]

What happened is that in the past few years several big government goons have infiltrated the Libertarian Party. They tried to claim that the LP was too radical and then proceeded to GUT THE PLATFORM!

Now, the LP is no longer principled. It is a big sick joke.

As someone formerly in his district and personally knew some in the LP that welcomed him in, I can tell you that his views have changed dramatically.

I will not even give him the BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT that he has changed unless he goes ON THE RECORD with a PUBLIC APOLOGY to all the people he helped send to prison by supporting drug prohibition. I don't mean just a short press release. I mean something published FAR and WIDE!

Until he admits HE has contributed to the FALSE IMPRISONMENT of countless individuals and he is ASHAMED for his actions I will have ZERO respect for him.

Trust me, the above will NEVER happen.

I agree 100 percent. Bob Barr is hereby nominated for D-bag of the decade. And his co-nominees are anyone in the LP who thinks he's not a total D-bag.

I had heard the party was infiltrated by a bunch of conservatives, but I didn't believe it. Well, I now believe it. I'd been a Libertarian since 1980, and I spoke at the national convention in 1991. It was a principled bunch of people back then. Hard to believe how quickly things change.

[RP4ME]

Okay I here ya but look at it this way - he does make it "safer" for the Neocon types to change their thinking.....if you were already full on Libertarian you might not cotton to his kind coming over but he will lead mnny neocons out - he helped me see the light and he is speaking out against Patriot act nd the war.....we are not all gonna agree on everything as we push RP....

Is that so? Who are these "big government goons"? Wouldn't they naturally be singled out when the bulk of the party supports small government? And what's wrong with the platform? I don't like the way the party is going I am just wondering a few things from your post. ;)
