Bob Barr on CNN's "Newsroom"

[tgraham76]

I voted for barr and also talked my brother into doing the same!! give it time these ideas will come around!

[MW2GhostFan]

Fuck the 2 party dictatorship, Libertarians and other independent parties need to raise up.

[Sivels]

I hate media... They're all puppets

[globalcapitalist]

"We call it a spoiler". No, actually we call that why I don't watch any of the national news channels. Politicized rhetoric, from the brain droppings of fools.

Veritas & Libertas

[b4ell24]

"we call it a spoiler"...wow...

[b4ell24]

very well spoken

[bradensmagic]

Republicans and Democrats are the same thing. They bite on 2 different sides of an apple and get to the same center.

[jr602az]

FUCK BOB BAR. MIKE GRAVEL MADE HISTORY

[MockStoneLLC]

hows this?

[soicuw]

Mike Gravel believes in Direct Democracy which is evil

[YawnXen]

Mr. Barr does not exactly light a libertarian fire. He lost a close race to a "D" when the Libertarian Party got on the ballot. The Drug war made him a target, so he abandoned it. I hope he gets elected as a libertarian somewhere.

[lunchbox61181]

obama been bought and paid for with the economy as bad as it is he will never be able to deliver on his promises he just the face for the next 8 years we are all fucked

[vjvis2]

You fail, and that's old news.

[espada9]

Yay! More big government! I'll be taxed to DEATH for my success and hard work! Lazy, irresponsible people will rewarded!

We as a nation will LOWER our standards!

Our government will continue to spend and print money!

The USA will become a 3rd world socialist shit hole! Yeeeayyyyy!!!!!

[FlavorRed]

Yay! Even more Tyranny! More Fascism! And a lot more Socialism! Yay! I'm so glad he won! He's the perfect symbol for America! The "New America!"

I'm going to predict, but not going to bet money on this... That Obama will only be a one term president because people are starting to wake the fuck up! Hopefully our next president will be for LIBERTY for a change! When was the last time that happened?

[amalwaysawsome]

yay a bush won for the 4th time...dumbshit obama = bush

[rclamb04]

Welcome to socialisem

[kisea]

I voted for Mr. Barr and I am proud of it. Its sad that in our two party system, the outsiders get little to no exposure and are left off of ballots and out of debates. When the commission for presidential debates was formed and took it away from the League of Women Voters it slammed the door on outsiders like Ross Perot, Bob Barr, etc.

[intrakor]

Thanks for running. You have my vote.

[Dymaxionpz]

Thanks for running a clean, issues-centered campaign. You got my vote and my respect.

[ncyonder]

Bob, if you hadn't turned on Ron Paul, you would have gotten significantly better support. You chased a lot of us to others like Chuck Baldwin and *gasp* McBama.

[longestleg]

Why were Nader and Barr not on every states ballots?

[rclamb04]

I voted for Chuck Baldwin. We need to continue to try and get people to listen and wake up to what is going on in this country by continueing to vote in Rep and Dems.

[JoeMommaRox]

I voted for Barr! We have 4 years to prep for next election Libertarians unite!

[cmc30250]

I voted for bob barr, no one is showing how he did, does anybody know?

[codyofga]

i know in georgia he got less than 1percent

[BeeRad277]

I was going to vote for you Bob, but unfortunately you weren't available on the Louisiana Ballot. I can't express how upset I was. I voted for Nader, but you were my first choice.

[codyofga]

nader wasnt on the georgia ballot

[HarryNRubin]

good vid, good outlook, and good job remaining serious when she made that joke about spoilers :D

[cgraham1930]

oh yeah, also voted for barr and the whole libertarian ticket in tx.

[vjvis2]

As did I. And I swear if I get one more stupid Obama recorded message phone call, I'm going to explode.

[Asper49]

I second that.

[cgraham1930]

1%? BS. he'll pull more than that. those polls are full of crap. they intentionally poll more liberals anyways.

[MooseOfReason]

I voted for Bob Barr!

[stabcat2]

I just voted Libertarian!

[Bitterberry9]

I am a Canadian, and I feel so bad for the USA that you're about to elect Barack Obama. Go Barr!

[Go4Br0ke]

That's nice to here. And here I thought everyone who doesn't live in the US is/was in the tank for Obama. It's a crying shame that most Americans actually fell for cheap slogans and cliches.

[Bitterberry9]

Unfortunately, I seem to be the only one at my high school who isn't in the tank for Obama. They dont even understand his policies, and I have to explain them to them- VERY SLOWLY

[birdie668]

yeah same here, im an american living in canada and everyones constantly raving about obama

[Go4Br0ke]

I just voted for Barr and Redpath for Senate. I had to make my first vote mean something.

[Higgins2001]

Go4Br0ke - whether you are a young voter or a new citizen, thank you for voting with intellect, as well as care for the future of our nation :)

[bbug2k]

I did the same. And like you this was my first vote as well.

[harryogre]

In Ohio, I just voted.

I was quite happy to climb on my 1984 Harley Davidson, ride down to the local church which is my polling location, and carefully vote for Bob Barr.

I didn't "throw my vote away".

I voted my conscious.

And I didn't vote for the Lesser of Evils!

Having a clean conscious is more important than winning.

[TheAtheistPaladin]

I voted Barr for pres. and Redpath for Senate. What Have you done today?

[Napalm66]

A vote for real principles: Barr 2008

[gpkeskilson]

I'm a card holding Libertarian since 1974,I also pull for the Chicago Cubs,some day,just some day,it may happen.

[BeeRad277]

I look forward to voting for you today Bob.

[dandaman2206]

Great Job Bob! I've already voted for you...Hopefully we can get good numbers so more people know about our Ideas!

[SierraWolf]

Great interview Congressman Barr!

[bonxmarl]

Today I turned in my big metaphorical middle finger into the ballot box. I voted for Bob Barr for president and the Constitution Party for everything else (the Libertarian Party isn't too active in Oregon).

No matter what these corporate news polls say, I think third parties will get 10% of the vote this year.

[Pecker6914]

Bob, thank you for not dropping out of the race. I will definitely vote for you. I'm disgusted by McCain, and I hope that something will happen to help you at least win one state. Thanks again Bob, and good luck.

[Kornkicker]

Good Luck Bob, I can't vote for you, so I hope anyone who can vote, votes for you.

[vdubs4life1964]

Hang in there Bob.. I'll be voting for you in 2012.

[CCrossfan]

Good luck tomorrow Bob I'll be voting for you here in Pennsylvania and urged everyone I could to do the same.

[namename654]

Still cracks me up this goofball is claiming Libertarian. He authored a bill to use the federal government to tyrannize marijuana patients. Now that his career as a Republican has been found extinct, he decided to "convert", and claims to support marijuana in order to connect the base.

[SierraWolf]

namename654,

Have you not done things in life that you later regret? We all make mistakes...

No one is perfect. I have MUCH! for respect for a politician that says something like "My previous position was a mistake. It did not work. I want to try something new...", rather than try to BS me with double talk.

[namename654]

Plenty. I have even done things I regret that negatively effected a few people other than myself. Although similar in principle, the scale is far off.  My actions were largely individual, but the decisions of a politician in office can do things to the entire country. Also, marijuana legalization is THE critical issue to me, so I prefer not to encourage previous bad behavior.

Other than that, he talks the ideological language as good as Ayn Rand.

[SierraWolf]

namename654,

I've made many mistakes when I was younger. So, I know what you are saying. I believe we are on the same page in agreeing that the issue of marijuana legalization. (state level decision)

If you and I had each had careers as Congressmen or Senators, for extended periods, some of the decisions we made would be mistakes, and they would effect large numbers of people.

Examplea: FDR's internment of Japanese-Americans during WWII. Now, it's viewed as a mistake

[DoomHippie]

1 Day before the election and they do this?!? Well, better late then never. But not that much better.

If Barr was given fair coverage he'd have won this!

[TabooRealities]

If the coverage was fair Ron Paul would be the next president.

[Denouncethemachine]

Bob its so close! keep up the good fight!

[tomrdee]

If the media covered Bob Barr as much and with as much enthusiam as the other 2, he would win.

[sukayren]

She just had to bring up the word "spoiler" again, personally I'm sick and tired of hearing that word.

[3BrosInc]

I know man, it's retarded. I wouldn't vote for either McCain or Obama if there were no third party candidates.

[throwingbigwhips]

Please save the country BOB

[NinjaForeChrist]

I wish you would win man but you are not going to win cause the media dislikes u and truth in these days will not prevail until tribulation. i wish i was old enough to vote but i am only 17. i hope you don't take away votes from palin so that the end result is obama. may God be with us all

[TrueConservative123]

More power to Bob Barr and Chuck Baldwin.

Baldwin08(dot)com

[Andy120290Returns]

Good luck tommorrow Bob!

[ndfootballch]

110% behind you, Bob

[doremicom]

Libertarian Party!!! Go Bob!!!

[vandaliegh]

One day before the election?! Now they want you to know there are more than two candidates?! Did this "news organization" just check youtube or something?

[steve0281]

I, for one, am extremely upset.

Go Bob!
