I like this video.

Too bad C-SPAN listed him as former congressman R-Georgia and not as current candidate for president or Libertarian Party nominee for president.

A president restoring checks and balances? That's an oxymoron. Checks and balances prevent a president from going too far.

truth is right -- at least to some degree. However, Bob has PUBLICLY stated he regrets some of the positions he took and votes he made in the past. For example, once a strong supporter of the (bullshit) "war on drugs", he now he's against it. He also went on the episode of "Penn & Teller: Bullshit!" on the Patriot Act to tell how he regrets voting for it and why he voted for it in the first place. Not many politicians would outright admit they made a mistake like Bob Barr. Check it out.

big time i agree hes a Powerful speaker and an Intellectual Giant, you have to really THINK to understand what hes saying, he totally raises the level of conversation about our Politics.

i think its rather obvious he would intellectually wipe the floor in a debate with Mccain and Obama.

I want this man in the fall debates ! HE DESERVES TO BE THERE AND WE AS CITIZENS WANT TO HEAR HIS CLEAR RATIONAL VOICE UP THERE

Truthout is a Moron filled with venom, hate and fear.

I have learned anytime someone carelessly and childishly used the word NAZI over and over , than you know to be sure this person is a total out of touch Lunatic that has NO idea what they are talking about.

its probably some pimple faced 18 yr old Punk with a chip on his shoulder

truthout911, please spread your propogandist bullshit elsewhere

Barr is a NAZI who voted for the patriot act, homeland security, iraq war and afghanistan war, head of pussygate, and tries to legislate a woman's pussy. No to this NAZI!

This guy's brilliant, and sure knows government!!!

Everybody work to increase his national exposure, so his popularity will go up in the tracking polls. If it reaches at least 10% in 3 major polls, then YouTube will invite him to its Presidential Forum in New Orleans that will be on September 18th!!!

Let's Raise the Barr for Our Nation!!!

Ok now that's what it should be! GREAT! I said I liked Ron Paul better, and I must say Ron Paul is the man, but this was great, afterall it's about liberty not just one man and any man who serves liberty (or woman) is right on.

Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection

that your vote is never lost.
