Turns out Bob Barr may be a huge problem for the GOP family
Via The Washington Times:
Tom DeLay will vote for John McCain but the former House Republican leader said his wife, Christine, is planning to vote for Libertarian presidential nominee Bob Barr.
“I’m trying to convince my wife not to do that,” the Texas Republican told editors and reporters at The Washington Times on Friday. “She said it publicly yesterday.”
Mr. Barr’s candidacy is an issue conservatives appear to be grappling with since he won the Libertarian party’s nomination on the sixth ballot at their May 25 convention in Denver. Early polls suggest Mr. Barr could draw small but significant support in key states such as Georgia and North Carolina, potentially complicating the electoral picture for Mr. McCain, Republicans’ presumed presidential nominee.
“Potentially complicating the electoral picture” … that’s one way to describe it.
Listen folks, your vote doesn’t BELONG to either one of the Big Two parties. It’s yours, and you can use it to vote for whomever you want. If more people voted for the person they really wanted to get the job this nation would be better off. But we’ve let the parties and the press brainwash us into voting for candidate A because heaven help us is Candidate B wins. The fact is that Candidates A and B, while different, are pretty damn close.
Myself, I can’t get to enthused about Barr’s libertarianism, considering how focused he was on Bill Clinton’s Penis. There were good reasons to impeach Clinton (lying under oath at the head of the list). But Barr was focused on the sex part during who impeachment mess. It left me with a bad taste in my mouth.
*ahem*
