Observe that Mr. Ferguson, like Barr supporter Mr. Gordon, appears to have gone over to the Republicans.

“Allow me to set the good Doctor straight”

No, you’re not allowed, you ass. You can all rot in hell for putting down the man who has worked his whole freaking life for LIBERTY.

Bob Barr is a NEO-CON, and his staff are NEO-CON LOVERS.

VTV – the first possibility is that your knowledge is incomplete.

The second possibility is that the organizers deliberately ignored Dr Paul’s wishes and didn’t invite Barr.

That wouldn’t be too surprising. I’ve been getting reports for a couple months that Barr was having trouble getting through Paul’s staff to speak with Paul directly. And yesterday, we had the debacle of Paul’s staff apparently not even telling the good Dr what they had heard from BARR08 (actually Verney) until after the press conference was over.

WOW… just wow!
I guess I gathered signatures for the wrong man.
I was even just promoting Barr this week.
I guess the sign comes off the lawn as well.
The National LP is just going to show that all the more reason why the Free State Project http://www.freestateproject.org is all the more important.

Barr went from possibly the highest vote total for the LP to …. well who knows how low?

In my RP circles, 90% of us now loathe Barr. Of the more than 60% of us who were going to vote for Barr are now either voting Baldwin or write-in.

I was excited to be voting libertarian for the first time, not because I loved Barr, but because I could be part of getting the LP future ballot access. Barr dug the hole for the coffin and Fergusen put the final nail in. I will now be voting against Barr, McCain and Obama. Ironically, if Ruwart had the nomination I’d be a dues paying LP member campaigning for her.

So, because of the destruction Barr has wrought upon the future of the LP, we started this petition to have him removed: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/RemoveBobBar/index.html

Please sign and promote if you’re in agreement and try to help the future of the party!

sunshinebatman being someone who helped organize the Revolution March, I can tell you that Bob Barr was never invited to my knowledge.

sunshinebatman,

The organizers asked Paul for input on guests.

Will Ron Paul be writing-in Ron Paul?

Trent – having spoken personally with organizers of the Revolution March – “grassroots organizers” is not mutually exclusive of past and present Paul campaign and Congressional staff — . . . Dr. Paul was involved to the point of setting the guest list (ie invited both Barr and Baldwin, etc).

What was the point of this Ron Paul event? I do not get it. Was it to tell us we should vote for a third party candidate? If so he could have saved everyone a lot of trouble and expense and sent an E-mail letting us know we should vote for a third party candidate. We need a press conference for this?

This creates a controversy where there should be none.

Baffling as it may be, there are Ron Paul supporters that took “I work in the GOP” to mean “Vote McCain”, and others that took “I can’t endorse McCain” to mean “Vote Obama.” This will be good for them. The rest of us are into this kooky third party thing anyway, so to us it’s a dud, but I’ll gladly take “vote 3rd Party” over the vagueness that stood before.

As for splintering, well, RP’s said before he’s undecided between Barr & Baldwin, him and Nader have spoken positively of eachother in the past and maybe he remembers McKinney fondly from her time in the House. I absolutely agree that it would have made more impact to get behind one candidate – but with these conflicts, I can see why he personally wouldn’t want to.

But I think I can guess at the answer next time someone asks him who he’s voting for

As a Paul supporter, I’m dumbfounded.

No one doubts the Barr campaign is sabotaging itself by alienating Paul supporters.

But that doesn’t excuse Ron Paul. He’s had 8 months since he was eclipsed in Iowa and New Hampshire to think about his next move to advance the cause of liberty. What is it? To remind us that he doesn’t like McCain and Obama.

If he’s committed to the GOP, he should ignore the presidential race and campaign for pro-liberty House candidates. If he’s open to third parties, he should use his influence to unite the liberty movement behind one ticket and make an impact on the election. Instead he both burned his GOP bridges and encouraged the liberty movement to splinter.

So why aren’t Paul supporters everywhere saying “What the hell, Dr. Paul?”

Throughout the campaign, it seems like Barr and company have simply been making me feel better and better about voting for Baldwin.

“RPâ€™s people defintely did organize the march in July. There was another march on the Capitol on April 15 which he did not organize”

Paul did not organize either–both were grassroots efforts.

The offending post has apparently been removed. But the evidence is saved here for all to see.

well, now Barr will have to come out tomorrow and fire mike ferguson. what a silly man. he might as well have shot Barr in the foot. I really don’t like Barr now, but a feel sorry for him. this should give Baldwin a little boost.
