I never really looked into this guy the Libertarians are running but after seeing him on Colbert I have to say I’m really disappointed.
After checking out his Wikipedia page the only part I liked was his reversal on medical marijuana. But even with this he isn’t really saying that you have a right to medicate yourself and a right to ingest any and all substances you see fit, as a true Libertarian or freedom lover would. Instead he only argues that the Federal Government doesn’t have the right to regulate it in the first place. He has no problem with States criminalizing a substance and violating your right to self medicate and be free.
Yes, it’s definitely official. Bob Barr is a born again Libertarian who has returned to the light to give John McCain an excuse for losing to Obama and to help people believe that yes, they do have a choice and their vote counted.
On another note:
Seriously, why couldn’t Ron Paul run Libertarian again. He could have had way more impact then he’s having now and would probably pull at least 20% in a November, if not more. Hell, he could do a blog post saying he’s running independent today and have at least $20 million in donations by Monday.
