Libertarian Bob Barr Campaigns in Manchester New Hampshire

Poor ole John McCain, he can’t catch a break. First he has to deal with the Obamagasms of the main-stream media as President Obama tours the middle east, and now as he visits New Hampshire the headlines are stolen by Bob Barr, the former Republican turned Libertarian presidential candidate. Oh well.

Bob Barr is polling in New Hampshire at 10%, the highest in the nation, so he decided to visit Manchester. It just happened to be on the same day as the turncoat McCain visited New Hampshire. So this distracts from the local coverage on McCain’s return from the state.

This article from the Union Leader stole some of McAmnesty’s headlines. Although the Union Leader, who endorsed McCain during the primary, tries to discount Bob Barr’s potential influence in the presidential race. The truth is,the New Hampshire Republican party is scared to death of Bob Barr and the havoc he will reek once he is included on the ballot.

Independent thinking, libertarian type voters will flock to Barr. Does he have any chance of winning? No, but he definitely will cost McCain the (4) electoral votes that New Hampshire has. If the 10% polling results hold up John McCain has no shot of winning no matter how Fergus Cullen, Chairman of the NHGOP, tries to spin it.

“Libertarians in New Hampshire have always had a home in the Republican Party,” Cullen said.

New Hampshire Republicans, like myself, are fed up and are going to give serious thought to casting a vote for Bob Barr. I know I am.

Bob Barr sums up my feelings in this paragraph:

his calls for small government and personal freedom, and nodded agreement to his notion that the country’s two major political parties are headed in the same direction.

John McCain is trying to take the Republican party too far to the left. Headed in the same direction? Yes, I think that both parties are headed in the same direction and I do not like the destination. John McCain is going to pick a VP candidate that he hopes can bring conservatives to him, that is how far he is headed in the wrong direction. He is ignoring conservatives to woo the Democrat voters, so yes both parties are headed in the same direction.

Bob Barr continues:

“Americans have this sense about them — that we can take advantage of in this election cycle — that the system is not serving them well,” said Barr

That is exactly how I felt after the New Hampshire primary, I felt as if the system wasn’t serving me and I still feel that way. I have been disenfranchised by the national party.

I decided after John McCain became “my party’s” nominee that I would vote in the state and local elections but that I would blank the presidential box on the ballot. I am now thinking about changing that tactic. I might throw my vote to Bob Barr. Union Leader be damned, while you try to delegitimize him, and anyone else that dares to oppose your precious John McCain, there are many conservatives that are as pissed off as I am at the state of the national party and are thinking along the same lines I am.

I cannot be alone. Can I?
