Libertarians are going to vote for John McCain?

Better than Bob Barr, no?

Actually, I'm really looking forward to tomorrow's debate, besides cheering on Avery, to hear someone try to make the case for conservatives and libertarians to vote for John McCain. I mean, I know as well as anyone that Bob Barr is not ideologically pure (I voted for Mary Ruwart on all 6 ballots in Denver), but McCain is libertarian and/or conservative on which issues again?

I'll have plenty to say about that, Mr. Lesczynski.
And Karol: you & I are friends too -- maybe we haven't met but we'll always have Facebook.

So we are, Ken! I forgot about that...

What libertarian is going to vote for McCain?

So did the rumor pan out?

Bob Barr is a drug warrior who supported the war in Iraq and voted for the Patriot Act. In my opinion, he is NOT a libertarian and NOT principled.

Barr indeed attended and even took some questions. Avery's pro-Barr position carried the vote of the (highly sympathetic) audience.

To the unnamed person:

Bob Barr voted for the Patriot Act but since regrets it. Was he stupid to vote for something he didn't completely read and understand? Sure, but it also shows that even a principled, intelligent person can get caught up in patriotic-sounding rhetoric of the times.

I'm not sure what precisely is his position now about Iraq, but Barr now considers us "occupiers."

Are those Kerryesque flip-flops? No, because he changed his position out of sincerity, not because he held his finger up to the wind.
