Bob Barr Exploratory Committee Announcement

[MooseOfReason]

For some reason, Bob Barr makes me think of a sheriff in some Western town.

[peepnklown]

I am hoping Barr has learned from his mistakes and truly believes in liberty.

I honestly liked Mary J. Ruwart as the Libertarian candidate.

[shanklinmike]

Barr has drastically changed, if you want a candidate who is for change you should look to Obama. He changes almost everyday on almost all his issues. Barr will stick for limited government, nothing else!

[Kras3169]

Chuck Baldwin of the Constitution Party for President!!!

The Ron Paul rEVOLution continues!

Bob Barr, we don't believe you! You're an ex-CIA agent who voted FOR the Patriot Act and you support the War on Drugs...you're no libertarian! You people should really check out Chuck Baldwin and see what you think!

[shanklinmike]

Barr will be on almost all 50 state ballots come November and Ron Paul will be a write-in. Write-in votes will not even be counted, it is pointless. Baldwin is the same way. Hey, we all love Ron Paul but you should really look at the libertarian Bob Barr. He has come a long way from the ex-republican he used to be. I truly believe that Barr will be the liberty vote this election. I am asking you to not vote for Baldwin, I'm just saying think about what's best for liberty! Besides, Ron likes Barr

[HughieGphiladelphia]

Mike Gravel would destroy you in a debate barr!

People....support Gravel, a man who wants to empower you to vote for laws!

A true hero...

mike gravel for president!

[shanklinmike]

Mike Gravel could not destroy Barr when it comes to economics, just a personal opinion. I like Gravel though, but I am voting for Barr. Truly believe the guy will spread the Ron Paul message the best. Especially since the guy even admits the mistakes he made in the past, at least he can do that. I would like to see McBama do that!

[ArinGrak]

Bob Barr doesn't stand a chance in the election if no one knows about him. So if you want him to win add this vid to a video log on your channel and spread the word.

[freddymagick]

Bob barr needs to address his issues not wanting Wicca in the Military.

[beatinmemeat]

I would love you to run for president.

[bugsycline]

maybe if barr was VP and Ron Paul was President. come Ron, Run on the Libertarian tickett.

[Americanpat]

Great apperance in Borat man!

John McCain 2008!

[TheAdventMaster]

Bob Barr, you're an interesting character.

However, looking upon your voting record, I feel as though you hadn't fully done your research nor remained true to your claimed Libertarian beliefs.

You seem to fall into the Libertarian category, for the most-part, but some legislation you've supported or haven't supported was blatantly against both Libertarian beliefs and any which supported individual liberties.

If your policies have changed, then I would support you. I don't think they have :(

[vfchicago28]

C'mon folks, could any of you really vote for John McCain and then go home and sleep with a good conscience. If you think Barr is the best man for the job vote for him, just don't vote for him because you're scared of Democrat presidency. Its time to smash the two party system!

[cdbolton]

Growth of government budget tends to be most when a party holds congress and the white house. Legislation is held to less scrutiny. Congress will probably be democrat. I think it's best for those with our views to favor a republican, despite some disagreements with McCain.

[cdbolton]

Mr. Barr, I don't think it's rational for you to run unless you do want Obama, or maybe Clinton, to actually become the president. If you genuinely prefer them then do it. Just from what you said here it's not clear you believe that. Some states will be close and you'll be an anti-McCain vote.

[dave98503]

no need for cursing or bad language here.

[mialst]

FUC HIM SUPPORT DR PAUL

[thedemoboy]

Ron Paul supporters - Barr looks like a great choice, and I agree with him. But wouldn't Barr running simply allow McCain, Obama, and Clinton to "divide and conquer" us that much more easily? Just curious about that. I think we need to keep the support with Paul, and not drop the stick.

[HumGuitar]

Please run, Mr. Barr, McCain, Clinton, or Obama? I cannot force myself to vote for any of those candidates. In November, I will either be writing Ron Paul's name, or I will vote for the Constitution Party nominee, or I will vote for you. I have voted Republican in the past, but they no longer represent Conservative principles. Whether you run or not, I will not be voting for McCain. Thank you for standing your ground against Sean Hannity. His argument is absurd.

Republican=Neoconservatives

[luckyday24]

Hey Bob,

I'm a hardcore Ron Paul supporter. If you run I'll vote and even campaign for you, but you would definitely get a lot more support if you got Paul on your ticket!!!

[chalcedonite]

Will you have the courage to put this United States of America before yourself? Will you be able to put the American people's freedom before government control? The American people are sheep, will you be able to give them self responsibility? The American people are state-schooled/MSM brain-washed, will you be able to make liberate education? Will you be able to do nothing? Be nothing?

[jimcperry]

Bob,

Dr. Paul was saying some great stuff about a Barr LP ticket. If you get the nomination, I'll be glad to support you and the message of Liberty.

[poolkitty]

Quick someone grab the botox this guy's eyebrow furrows are giving me a headache. LOL. JK. Your message my resonate with some but for me I just can't get past the fact that you can't count. (2 + 2 still equals more than 3 even in America)

[WonjuEnglishSchool]

It looks like Bob Barr, Dr. Paul's friend and supporter, has been picked by Dr. Paul as one of his successors to carry the Revolution forward, as Dr. Paul mentioned we all need to do in his video.

[cmanw]

Hey Bob! I'm just slowly learning more about you, and I'm glad you're getting in the race. As an AVID Ron Paul supporter, I would very much like to see you and Ron Paul run on the same ticket. As the rest of his supporters know, it's not NECESSARILY Ron Paul that we endorse, but his ideas. If you have the same ideas he does, then I'm all for 'ya! I'm still going to try and help Ron get the nomination, but if he doesn't, I hope you'll ask him to be your VP. You would do well!

[opal219]

my comment.. see comment by electric789

[poolkitty]

Bob Barr you got a sour puss face and negativity aint where its at in 2008. I am looking for a real change. Ron Paul 2008! I don't want you to run Bob Barr in 2008 unless its to get in line to support my man Paul!

[electric789]

as long as Barr refers to the "3 candidates" then that means he's ignoring Ron Paul's continued candidacy. either hes ignorant or 'in on it'. Heres your message Barr. PAUL HAS MY VOTE.

[WonjuEnglishSchool]

Barr is not ignoring Ron Paul.  He is Dr. Paul's friend, supported him in his race, and introduced Dr. Paul at speaking events during this presidential run. Bob Barr discussed his campaign with Dr. Paul prior to jumping in.

He was criticizing the big 3, not ignoring Dr. Paul.

[jeremiahlowery]

u suck bobb barr.

[BroButch69]

It's time! Go donate $4,600 TODAY! SEND THEM A MESSAGE! Let's take the R(3VOl)UTION on to Nov. 4 and to victory ! A specifically targetted campaign could win a multiple electorial college race. John (BobDole2) McCain is a liberal LOSER. BOB BARR is the image of a conservative Constitutionalist who will protect our individual liberties and our personal property. Who won't draft our sons and daughters to fight foolish 100 year wars for the military-industrial complex. Spread the word DONATE Today!

[BobBarr2008]

Yes that is true, prior to the nomination (the primary) we can receive a maximum of $2,300. After the convention we head to the general election where again our donors can contribute another $2,300. -BB08 Staff

[BroButch69]

The campaign can take the full $4,600 now and if something happened and Bob not run in the general, Would return the gen.election funds to the doner. So go ahead and show Bob we are behind him and send in the MAX today so he knows he has the support and will run! Every dollar will help reach this very reasonable target of $250,000 this week. Send $4,600 down to whatever you can afford today, don't wait we need Bob Barr taking the messsage to them! Our future depends on restoring our Republic.thx

[afannell]

Will you campaign in battleground states like mines in Missouri? I hope you come to my city in Springfield.

[WonjuEnglishSchool]

Welcome to the race for President.

Please go ahead and announce your candidacy for the LP nomination.

I will send a LARGE donation asap before the nomination and again after you are nominated. As I understand it, we can max out ($2300) twice. Once during the primary cycle, before the nomination, and once for the general election.

[America4Good]

Do you think the CFR Media will cover you..

I doubt it.

But it's worth a try!

[TwinMountain]

Bob: You know what you're in for if you run and if you don't, just ask Ron Paul. You'll be up against everything from blatant enemies to false faces like "your friend" Sean Hannity. However, winning is not the only end game for us. Giving the last gasp of Americanism someone to vote for is PLENTY to have done. Opposing the Rockefeller/Bush "New World Order" and costing the republican party it's former base, bringing it to a loss would be terrific. You've got my vote hands down so RUN! RUN!

[qronpaul6]

good man

[freebob3]

cool, maybe we (LP) can get the vote up to to 2% this time!!!

[BroButch69]

You need to get over this defeatist negative attitude friend. Mr. Barr can be elected President in a 4 to 5 way electoral college race. (McKinney and Nader on the socialist side are in this mix as well) Aim for the stars ! If you miss you will still be at the TOP OF THE WORLD. Real Conservatives don't let Conservatives vote for MCCain !

[LehrBoy]

Where Libertarians have the best shot a the ballot: Barr/Smith!

Where Consituionists have: Baldwin/Keyes!

Where independents have: Paul/Barr!

All Electors (LP, CP, & Indi) pledged to Paul/Barr!

[TajiTJ]

People we need to realize we can support Bob until the convention is final. Of course keep trying to be delegates, encourage votes for Dr. Paul, and change the Republican party. But the convention is 5 months away and for many it is too late to be delegates. Start the Bob Barr grassroots effort.

[afannell]

Run Bob Run!!

[genetrosper]

Bob has my support.

[afannell]

He has the right to run! Run Bob Run.

[frionelhero]

Thank you Bob for giving me an alternative to the current front runners. You are a patriot and I look forward to casting my vote for you come November.

[PoliticalAnalysis]

Barr is hardly a libertarian.

He was a leader in the War on Drugs, and is strongly anti-gay marriage. He's not an L.

[Nillok]

Your ignorance astounds me. It truly does. He has been converted. And to believe that the drug and marriage issues should be left up to the states is somehow anti-liberty? That is truly ignorant. Even libertarians should follow the Constitutional Republic.

He has defended the libertarian's position on the drugs on Hannity, but nah, not good enough.

[Nillok]

No one is a purist, let us forget his work for privacy protections. His small government ideals. His anti-interventionist foriegn policy. Let us be nit-picky like none other. No wonder libertarians don't get far.

[PoliticalAnalysis]

He's not even running yet.
