Bob takes your questions on Debate Night

[mrawesome21]

I wish I was 18 during the election...He was the only candidate with straight answers that made sense

[ngonea]

The Global Monetary Break Down Crisis, is not the result of the mortgages, that is just a symptom, like the tech bible before it, it's derivatives, rich ppls financial gambling products designed to keep this false economy going since the days of Bill Clinton. see: Max Keiser & Peter Schiff

[hougSTAR]

Clinton was president, Barr wasn't. Big difference. Clinton also plainly lied to all Americans on national TV about it.

[j2tharome15]

WOW! Bob Barr is an impressive candidate. I can see why the Obama and McCain didn't want him in the debates!

[hougSTAR]

Because they are stupid and probably don't care about the "little party" that Bob Barr supports. I voted for Barr, because McCain and Obama plans are good in some areas but bad in others. Barr is the only one that know how to answer a damn question!

[rebreh12345]

I am republican and i actually like what Bob Barr is saying. I believe that the G.O.P's chief policy was spend less and that is what he is saying.

[YEEFREAKINHAA]

Vote for Barr, spread the word if you don't want even bigger government, more taxes and general bull crap.

I'm Voting for Barr!

[RamandoDMag]

This a minor gripe but I don't really like the analogy Barr uses about smoking. Its a fact that second hand smoke is dangerous. The reason why people want to share their addictive, poisonous habit with non smokers inside of indoor places is beyond me. But regardless, i'll be voting for Barr.

[someguy23475]

It should be the decision of the property or business owner, and not the government. That's what Bob Barr is saying, and I 100% agree. I'm not a smoker, BTW

[justice720]

agreed. I'm also a non smoker. that level of personal control should be left up to the business. It's all part of the 10th amendment.

"Tenth Amendment Powers of states and people. The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people. "

[dreamstar14]

Yes I used to think that smoking should be illegal in all public places because of the second hand smoke, however, the person who owns the property needs to make that decision. How can the government tell someone what they can do with their property? Of course, non smokers have the chice of not going.

[24klc67]

I am a registered unaffiliated voter. From day one, the media has shoved Barack Obama down viewers throats, and John McCain is someone that the Republicans threw into the race because they had no one worthy to run. Bob Barr is the only candidate in this race that is worth voting for. It is a nice CHANGE to see a candidate who actually has a plan for this GREAT REPUBLIC we live in. VOTE BOB BARR FOR PRESIDENT!

[JasonBluefire]

Finaly! Someone with some sence. The USA should Not be the, as one of my freinds say, "worlds police".

We need to concintrate on things in our own country first. Like securing our borders.

You definitly have my vote Bob barr! and I will tell all my freinds about you.

Good luck!

Hope you get alowd into a debate soon.

[ssips720]

he SHOULD BE ALLOWED INT HE DEBATE

[benfirst]

A purely libertarian government system would fail, but having more libertarian members in the senate and house will make huge improvements. Bob has no chance at success, but maybe he can increase Libertarian numbers.

[justice720]

agreed indeed! I'm voting in Houston and there are a buttload of libs on the ballet. In many of the spots is just dem and lib! sometimes it's lib and rep. But libs are on 95% of the spots.

[FlavorRed]

They prohibited Bob Barr from the debates because they are scared of him! Why are they scared? Because Bob Barr would win the debates and the Democrats and Republicans know it! The Dems and Repubs want to keep big government going. Someone like Bob Barr is a threat to them! I wish the American people can shift there focus away from those two parties. America would be a lot different if they did.

[cobenheister]

5 lol im naked! C

[TwinMountain]

Where were you on Merida, Bob? 1.4 billion dollars to Mexico to secure THEIR SOUTHERN BORDER! It's another example of the globalist agenda at work. Defining the southern border of the NAU.

Bush is guilty of treason and nothing less.

[TwinMountain]

Bob, you have my vote and I certainly hope you mean to stay in the race until the day after election day as if you throw in the towel, I have no one to vote for. Obama, it appears, was not even born in America and should not be in the race at all. McCain, like Obama, is an open borders globalist.

[freakallright]

wow, he's stupid

i think we should include them

but he just needs to get out there more

it isn't about the debates

the debates just started, and we know obama and mccain more.

[CruiseCarter]

It is about the debates - Ron Paul never would have recieved the exposure he did if it hadn't been for the primary debates, and no third party candidate will be taken seriously by the public until they share that stage (perot 92) The LP may recieve more than the usual 1% this time around, but will never get much more than that until we get a candidate on that stage.

[Piscivorus]

LOL!!! You don't know jack.

[dumhole327]

I wish that the American people would wake up and see that we need someone like Bob or Ron Paul in the White House. It's ridiculous that the media won't even allow him to participate in the debates. Anyone with common sense would be able to tell Bob's the best candidate, but common sense seems to be something that America is severely lacking.

[tepinj]

I'm sick of the industry that the 2 main parties have spurned. From what I can tell, the Libertarian party is all about.. "Quit being wimps (edited) and take control of your own communities" (and on up). It is a bottom-up approach vs. a top-down approach. The constitution focuses on freedom, and the feds are responsible for top level OVERSIGHT. Damn, how I wish we could listen to this party's message seriously.

Think about the parallels you have seen in your life... and vote accordingly.

[YawnXen]

Bob, Look at people that are on TV for a living. Try to mimic their choices of colors and textures. Some fabrics just look better on TV. If you will sit in a brown chair, don't wear brown.

[Drexel2008]

Could you imagine Barr at the debate. It was all on economics. He would have blown them out of the water. He probably could have lectured them on it. I'm pretty angry he was snubbed.

[santa457]

*Sigh*....Bob Barr is probably the best candidate for president....but yet so many pople are so uninformed cause they pay no attnetion to him...all they pay attention to is McCain and Obama...why don't they care about libertarians? I mean seriously...

[TheBayouRabbi]

I'm sorry that I learned about Bob Barr this late, he's got my vote.

[shanedk]

I have a 10-year-old son with autism. As far as I'm concerned, the No Child Left Behind Act might as well be called the Screw Children With Developmental Delays Act.

[titlemike]

The silent majority is voting for Bob Barr.  Are you with US or against US?

[penexpers]

Registered Libertarian voting for Barr 08.

[peepnklown]

Ds and Rs do not want third-party candidates in the debates because, they do not want third-party candidates to provide the people with a choice outside their box just like when Jesse Ventura was allowed in the debates and he won the governors seat.

[thedude1104]

No catchphrases, no slogans, just content. Vote for Barr!

[freeforall232]

Help save America, vote for Bob Barr!

[soicuw]

finally a politician thats not ashamed to admit that he smokes!

[eolgulster]

You have my vote. It's a shame that this country is run by the two major parties.

[22KingRat]

America's solution... Libertarian Presidential candidate Bob Barr believes in 'reducing' federal government spending! The National Taxpayers Union released a report on September 25th. It analyzes each of the three leading Presidential candidates in their 'first year' federal budget spending proposals as President. Barack Obama would 'add' $292,954,000,000 to annual spending! John McCain would 'add' $92,437,000,000 to annual spending! Bob Barr would 'cut' $200,928,000,000 from annual spending!

[theVAGINAtheist]

YEAH!

[tronyakov2]

he's got my vote

[soicuw]

peaceful protest isnt working anymore. We know this as we failed to get him in the debates! Our only option is to revolt!

[Misguided76]

I think the NRA already endorsed McCain. They really pissed me off by not having supported Bob from the beginning. He is the only true pro 2nd Amendment candidate running.

[MidiPunk]

They haven't announced yet. Rather than their current smear of Obama, they could be getting word out of their only A+ candidate.

[Kras3169]

The NRA already endorsed McCain???

They rated him a C+, and Gun Owners of America gave him an F.

What the fuck is going on in this country???

[MidiPunk]

My 9-5 involves publishing gun industry news. The NRA has not yet endorsed a 2008 candidate officially.  They are in position to make a historic difference this year. Winning is irrelevant, just get us away from the two-party system.

[MidiPunk]

Sorry, they endorsed McCain today.

[Kras3169]

It figures...even the NRA are a bunch of fucking spineless pussies!

Bob Barr is an NRA board member! They gave John McCain a C+!

I'm have just about zero faith left in this fucking pathetic, corrupt country!

It's a sad day in America when even the NRA is too pussy to support 2nd Amendment candidates. Hell just may have frozen over!

[MidiPunk]

I would love to hear Mr. Barr read your post as a press release ;)

Hoping he'll post a statement tonight.

[Kras3169]

haha, thanks for the reply.

[MidiPunk]

Will the NRA have the balls to endorse you?

[Andy120290Returns]

Go Bob Barr!

[Romancuria]

Barr would have easily beaten both McCain and Obama if he had been included in the debates. He stands for the true principles of this country. It makes me sick that the mainstream canidates for 2008 are so anti-american in principle. A neo-con and a socialist; just the opposite of a libertarian or a constitutionalist.

[SurferRosa79]

ditto to Romancuria

[bossman068410]

Thank You

[harryogre]

Great video

Barr 08!

Anyone interested in learning more about libertarian principals and concepts, visit LP(dot)ORG and click on the "Our Party" button.

If you want a wider understanding of libertarian ideas in action, visit The Cato Institute's site where there're hours of lectures, discussions, and debates in MP3 format.

Also check out The Mises Institute's site where you can listen to audio books explaining the basis of libertarian economic thought, including some from Dr. Ron Paul.

[romesburning99]

I have to say...Barr is much more direct with people, which is a good thing. I never feel like he's side stepping questions, I didn't like him that much at first, but he's kind of grown on me.

[alnewberry]

The most annoying thing about indoor smoking bans is that I can no longer go outside to get fresh air.

[jdpiehl]

Good point!

[MrDeppness]

I reposted for you on myspace because Libertarians deserve a voice!

[rclamb04]

I cannot understand how anyone could have watched the debate last night and still want to vote for either one of those loosers

[dreamwarrior22]

yay bob barr!

[JMang88]

88 views? We can get more, spread it around!

[jdpiehl]

Barr said more in those 7 mins then both McCain & Obama said in the 90 they had last night.

[LumpyRevolution]

Likely more than they have ever said combined, together, over their lives.

[lestliness]

it's crazy how the dept of education has killed the school system. Yet the average american thinks having a dept of education is a must as if it were always there and it's what has made america great. Crazy stuff.

[Sandi216]

He's got my vote - wish I (and the rest of America) could have seen him in a debate. It's assumed we are a country with only 2 parties. What a shame, especially since nobody really agrees with either of them.

[navkat]

I'm a Constitution voter. w000t!

(Go visit the ACLU for a sticker)

[Computerpimp]

Great video even if you where not in the debate you won the debate to me. you answered most of my question that i had.

[PimpCoop]

This is great to see that even youtube likes Bob Barr. Just sucks that Barr can't show up these clowns up. I know he would win in a land slide if more people knew about him.

[Kajayacht]

Damn, he has a nice home office.

Just got my voting registration papers back today, my vote goes to Bob Barr.

[alexwilhelm]

Barr 08!

[inflames07]

First. Bob Barr 2008!
