Bob Barr on CNN right now

[BumRushDaShow]

Barr: They should have vetted Palin more... Done very quickly and secretively.

You think?

[RagAss]

1. Barr mentions Eagleton !!

[BeyondGeography]

15. Hmmmmmmm...that tells me he has heard something

:thumbsup:

[Bernardo de La Paz]

21. McCain will state that he was in prison camp when Eagleton wasn't vetted properly, in 1972

McCain will state that he was in prison camp when Eagleton wasn't vetted properly, in 1972. McCain was released in 1973.

Eagleton was announced by George McGovern as his running mate July 14, 1972, but it was soon found that "Between 1960 and 1966, Eagleton checked himself into the hospital three times for physical and nervous exhaustion, receiving electric shock treatments twice." Eagleton withdrew August 1.

[BumRushDaShow]

3. Barr: Republican Party has

No message. No vision.

[DainBramaged]

4. Uh, you basically say what you think......

what a jackass

[BumRushDaShow]

6. Like Ron Paul, he has a following that can pull votes from McCain. n/t

[BlueStateGirl]

7. MaybeI'll donate $5 to his campaign, n/t

[vanderBeth]

8. I hope he'll sue

Texas to keep McCain and Obama off the the Texas ticket. It would never work, but it would hilarious.

:rofl:

[yourguide]

9. Is he claiming that McCain and Obama missed the texas filing deadlines?

[vanderBeth]

10. Yes, and even if they are on the ballot now

he is saying they bent the rules.

[yourguide]

13. Oh crap...wow!

[vanderBeth]

17. There is no way in hell that Texas will let it happen to the 2 candidates

But I really hope Barr fights nail and tooth (a little for my enjoyment).

A girl can dream, right? :-)

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

11. They were both suggesting that McCain blew it when he had the chance to pick Jindal

Rick Sanchez and Bob Barr were speculating about how the GOP could have cynically exploited this tragic situation in Louisiana by picking Jindal as the VP candidate (they didn't recognize it as such but that's what it boils down to), who apparently is looking half way competent. And they said by contrast that Palin looked like a weak pick.

[Hissyspit]

12. Barr: Let the market take care of global warming. Barr: Let the market take care of hurricanes.

Yeah, right. Libertarian dumb-ass.

[Pacifist Patriot]

14. I send this link to his website to anyone I know who is considering voting for McCain.

:evilgrin:

[BumRushDaShow]

18. Good one!

:applause: :rofl:

[BumRushDaShow]

16. He also said

that he knows the repukes are glad to not have to be in the spotlight this week due to the hurricane and it allowed them to not have McCain seen with Shrub and Darth. He also said that no one wanted to see 5 days of their boring convention. :rofl:

[a la izquierda]

19. They are having too many speakers...

was the jist of what he said when I was listening. Who the hell wants to listen to even one of them???

[vanderBeth]

20. I'm liking this Barr the more I hear about him.

:rofl:

[FatDave]

22. Bob Barr, as head of the GAO at the time...

...called bullshit on the "Clintons trashed the White House" stories that kicked off the Bush years. Never forget that: It was straight up lies right out of the gate.

[FatDave]

23. No convention equals no bump.

Right?

[JBoy]

24. I think Barr needs more coverage.

Would be curious to see if he's attracting more money now.

[PermanentRevolution]

25. Barr may deliver Nevada to us...
