Bob Barr: Libertarians should vote for Gingrich

[Kevin_Kennedy]

Former Georgia Republican Rep. Bob Barr supports Newt Gingrich’s campaign for president, and told The Daily Caller other libertarians should consider joining him.

Barr was elected to Congress in 1994 and worked alongside Gingrich as he became Speaker of the House. Barr left office in 2003 and in 2008 ran as the Libertarian Party’s presidential candidate, receiving more than 500,000 votes nationwide.

Explaining his support for Gingrich, a politician not often considered a libertarian darling, Barr told The Daily Caller, “I’m very comfortable and happy supporting Newt,” adding, “it’s not to say that other candidates like Ron Paul don’t have very good ideas.”

The former congressman has served as a surrogate for Gingrich’s campaign, primarily reaching out to groups supportive of the Second Amendment. He said he has some policy differences with Gingrich, but finds his political track record reassuring.

Yeah, we'll get right on that.

 

[GuyPinestra]

I have absolutely no intention of voting for a slimy amphibian...

 

[TakeAStepBack]

I wonder how many strokes Bob got for endorsing the newter.

Yeah, we'll get right on that.

Out of all the GOP candidates, Newt is the only one with the intricate knowledge to kick the government in its ass. Get things rolling so to speak.

But he is the ultimate big government guy.

The only down side they have is they collect nuts, not unlike the parties, so what the hell.

I wonder how many strokes Bob got for endorsing the newter.

Hard to say, though I think another reason for this is because Ron Paul endorsed Chuck Baldwin over Barr in 2008.

The hilarity continues.

Maybe, maybe not. The problem is that no libertarian should want the ball to roll where Newt would send it.

 

[uscitizen]

Libertarians should vote for Gingritch?

That guy is mental.

 

[CaughtInTheMid]

wow. that really surprises me.

 

[KSoze]

Bob Barr isn't a libertarian. What a facade.

 

[uscitizen]

Bob Barr doesn't not need to be involved in politics.

Never did like Barr. The Libertarians screwed the pooch nominating him last time around. Hopefully they'll do better this time.

I think the biggest problem is we dont know where he will send it. What his rhetoric suggests and what he's actually done are two totally different things.

That was a damned roundabout way of calling Newt a liar

I have no idea whether he's lying now or not. But he doesnt have a good track record with integrity.

Looks like Gary Johnson. He may be marginally better than Barr, but not that much.

I think we have some idea just looking at his record. For all his bluster he hasn't ever done much to actually limit government in his career.

 

[Paulie]

Oh wow I'm jack's lack of surprise that Barr is actually just an establishment tool.

This is totally why I voted for him in '08.

Wait, no I didn't.
