Also, Bob Barr is the kind of candidate that wins after the philosophizing idiots repeatedly throw temper tantrums, excluding those who are 90% perfect in their philosophies but who also want to run an effective strategy, thus making their oh-so-perfect selves totally ineffective.
That said, Barr's not bad on gun rights, and he's also not going to be president. If he does well, we'll be able to put a solid libertarian like Wayne Root in office in 2012, because the LP will have ballot access.
Sure, Barr was just another crappy Republican while he was in office, and he was totally inconsistent. He still hasn't surrounded himself with people who really understand the philosophy of freedom, and he himself has oodles to learn. Nonetheless, it makes little sense not to support him this election. Either way, if you vote against him, you're either voting against your own rights, or you're voting for a Party totally compromised by theocratic beliefs (in the case of the Constitution Party).
