Those of you who can't stand Barr should read this before you decide he's the devil -

Now that is too reasonable.
We rather see optionstrader going around defaming one of our teammates.
I love how he is single-handedly uniting all of us around his "view" of how all things should be.
To him, there is no reason. And he will not read what you post because it doesn't fit his agenda.
Now other people... may actually see for themselves, and I hope they do.
I wasn't a barr supporter, but i do support the people who are on his staff.
They are trusted, long time libertarians who know and support him.

The PATRIOT Act, the Drug War and the War on Terror are the things where the intelligence community has the most knowledge about. Even former CIA agents like Barr would know a thing or two about decision making at the very least. Barr also seems to like party politics. He supports Bush's policies but when Mr. Clinton does something in the Oval office, Barr is one of the first to use it against him.
I try not to support hypocrites and I hope the rest of the freedom advocates will call Barr out on his past behavior.
Let's hope not...

"Saul"s record on christians wasn't that great either until 'he saw the light'.
People still see his letters as credible.
I believe people can genuinely change their positions, and will give them that benefit until they prove otherwise.
Imagine, you vote for the patriot act because you were caught up in the fear of that moment, and later, you see how the government is abusing people with it.... would that not change your mind?
Then after that change.. you start to look around you at the other deceitful things the government is doing to people...
I can see how the guy could change... and he isn't totally a johnny-come lately like Gravel was...
Plus, he surrounds himself, with long time libertarians, some i personally know and trust.

As long as Paul is still in it, my full support is behind him. When and if he loses the nomination, I will fully back Barr.

I just read the "Why I Like Barr" article offered above, and I must confess, I am simply not convinced. For me, issues such as the PATRIOT ACT, our out-of-control foreign policy and the draconian drug war are a higher priority than a fair tax compromise.
Call me the devil if you must, but assuming things follow their current trajectory, I'm voting Obama come November.
