Bob Barr, the former Congressman from Georgia has entered the Presidential race as a Libertarian. Mr. Barr is a former Republican that has been very critical of the Bush administration and the way that it has conveniently disregarded the founding documents to the left as it waged the war against terrorism. The complicity of today's Republicans made Mr. Barr abandon the Republican Party in its entirety. He later joined the ACLU to combat the deprivation of civil liberties.
Barr, 59, quit the Republican Party two years ago, saying he had grown disillusioned with its failure to shrink government and its willingness to scale back civil liberties in fighting terrorism.
Although he doesn't really have a real chance of winning the highest office in the country. But, I think his candidacy is much more than winning one election. It's about making a point against the radical exploitation of executive powers by our President and the blind support from the Republican Party that has enabled these abuses. Enough is enough!
Mr. Barr will surely be attractive to the greater than 20 percent of Republican voters who chose somebody besides McCain for President, even when he has already locked up the Republican nomination.
Good luck Bob.
