Boston Globe on possible Ron Paul/Bob Barr ‘alliance’

June 13th, 2008 · 1 Comment

From the Boston Globe:

You can see the beginnings of a possible alliance this fall between Ron Paul, who formally ended his Republican presidential bid Thursday night, and Bob Barr, the Libertarian Party’s nominee.

Paul was the Libertarian nominee in 1988, and many of his supporters are libertarian-minded on economic and social issues. The Texas congressman praised Barr in an appearance on CNN on Thursday, and in a statement issued early today, Barr reciprocated.

“Congressman Ron Paul has fought tirelessly in both the Libertarian Party and the Republican Party to minimize government power and maximize individual liberty,” said Bob Barr, a former GOP congressman from Georgia. “I want to thank him for all that he has done for liberty in this nation, and encourage him to continue his fight through whatever avenues he sees fit.”

    Sorry Barr fans, this is a BULLSXXX article ! Ron can’t, he’ll lose his comittee assignments. If anyone took the time to read his article yesterday, he is still pursuing the approach of “changing” the Republican Party.

    I say LET IT DIE…

    Replace it with the LP or CP or Both…
