Bob Barr Calls John McCain a Dictator

And so it begins . . .
August 20th, 2008 by Russ Verney

... Over the weekend, the Saddleback Church kept Bob out of their forum in California - in what is a clear violation of McCain/Feingold campaign finance laws.

Now, a Pennsylvania Republican Party official working on behalf of John McCain has filed a lawsuit to knock Bob Barr off the ballot in the Keystone state. This action is deplorable and we need to make sure every American knows what is going on, as this is probably just the tip of the iceberg of what is to come next.

This action is especially ironic.

Who said:

”We all know that the Berlin wall is down . . . People should be able to get
on the ballot in states . . . Everybody knows that I am a legitimate candidate.
I should be on the ballot.”

That would be Senator John McCain who was the victim of similar shenanigans in 2000 when he was trying to get on the New York Republican Primary ballot.

Now, in a blatantly hypocritical move, he’s using the same tactics to stop Pennsylvania voters from having the chance to cast a ballot for Bob Barr.

Of course, this action doesn’t even acknowledge that for Bob Barr to get on the ballot required many more signatures than it took for McCain to get on the primary ballot, and to get on the ballot in November required McCain to turn in ZERO signatures.

I am outraged, and you should be, too. bThis move is one you might expect of a dictator in North Korea, Libya, China or Iran . . . not Pennsylvania. This is not what our founding fathers would have wanted and I’m afraid that if we are not victorious in this fight, the establishment powers in both parties will be emboldened to do even more to thwart our efforts.

11. Exactly.

Now all we need to do is get him more national recognition. The MSM needs to start talking about Barr, an actual presidential candidate, instead of the also-rans in the Democratic Party.

12. Bob Barr was all about supporting the right wing neo cons until 9/11...

when supposedly he had some kind of great epiphany about the fact that those very people were trying to take away our liberties.

He has since joined the ACLU, changed his position on just about everything (including the Drug War), and won the Libertarian nomination.

Whether it's a sincere gesture or shameless pandering, I don't know. I'm guessing the latter, given his character. But whatever takes votes away from McCain is fine with me.

14. That's all I'm saying. Siphon some of those votes, Barr.

[FrenchieCat]

7. OK Barr......

Guess that's why McCain's media is totally ignoring you.

They don't want the Republicans to know they have an alternative.

13. By all means, Bob-O..keep fighting the good fight.
