Bob Barr On Target To Ruin John McCain’s Life

by Sara K. Smith  

Spoilers.Bob Barr looks like Reverend Jeremiah Wright and will probably cost John McCain the election, and for these two reasons alone Barack Obama makes love to Bob Barr’s voodoo doll in his hyperbaric Hope chamber every night. You see, 6% of Zogby poll respondents said they would vote for the Libertarian candidate for president, and this is the exact size of the margin Obama leads by. Score one for Liberty!

As time goes on, conservatives will probably figure out they are better off voting for Old Loser McCain than Hopeless Cause Barr, but history tells us that the Libertarian only needs the votes of a couple hundred old ladies in Palm Beach County in order to hand over the election to … Nader.

Come on, Bob! Get out on the mega-church circuit and convince them all that McCain is a big old heathen!

Serolf Divad July 7, 2008 at 3:40 pm

A Bob Barr/Jeremiah Wright ticket would be the best thing ever to happen in the history of humanity (now that Jesse Helms is dead).

cal July 7, 2008 at 3:40 pm

He’s the new Nader!

In my hypothetical poll shortsshortsshorts is up 300 electoral votes on EVERYONE. Gawd save these hypothetical polls!

I kinda hope the LPers hang onto their 6%, if only because it will shake up the two-party system a little bit. Allah knows it’s high time we’ve had a third group of yes-men and corporate whores in Washington!

Canuckledragger July 7, 2008 at 3:44 pm

So the Hillary bitters can choose between Barr and Nader.

But neither candydate is a chick!

Some choice!

WALNUTS! can’t win anyway. With so many Republicans left homeless by foreclosure, they won’t even qualify to register for a vote. [Though perhaps Wally could at least arrange for them to squat in a Hanoi quonset hut.]

Tipped and recced for Barry getting freaky in the HyperBarric Hope chamber.

WadISay July 7, 2008 at 3:45 pm

Quick word association.
Q: Bob Barr?
A: President Obama.

anabellum July 7, 2008 at 3:46 pm

personally, im voting for Jonathon “The Impaler” Sharkey (Vampire, Witches & Pagan Party-New Jersey) as a way to undercut McCains major lead with American soul-killers…

Guppy06 July 7, 2008 at 3:47 pm

But wait! Nader’s currently losing the Green primaries to… Cynthia “Punch a Cop” McKinney!

ronaldpagan July 7, 2008 at 3:48 pm

Hey didn’t Bear-Bear have a 12% lead a little while ago? I’m scared…hold me…

Advocatus_Diaboli July 7, 2008 at 3:49 pm

if only Barr picked Paul as his running mate; god, the snark would write itself.

Lazy Media July 7, 2008 at 3:49 pm

Bob Barr is like Chris Hitchens or David Horowitz. A self-important radical who has violent moodswings that lead him to different flavors of radicalism that (if enacted) would lead to misery for most people. Barr’s gone from Babdist jihadist nutjob to FairTax/anti-cop nutjob; the only thing consistent is the nutjobbery.

loudmouthredhead July 7, 2008 at 3:49 pm

As you look at Wright and Barr, does anyone else have some strain of “Ebony and Ivory” playing through their heads?

Barr/Wright ’08! W00t for liberation-tarianism!

Barr is henceforth known as Bizarro-Nader

loudmouthredhead July 7, 2008 at 3:51 pm

[re=30588]Guppy06[/re]: No. Freakin’. Way. You can’t make that one up.

EnBuenOra July 7, 2008 at 3:51 pm

If Zogby says Obama’s up by 6%, that probably means McCain’s really up by like 50% or so.

Lazy Media July 7, 2008 at 3:52 pm

[re=30588]Guppy06[/re]: That’s just her daddy getting revenge on the J-O-O-S.

Nader’s not a Jew, you say, but in fact an Ay-rab? Same thing, sez Billy.

choinski July 7, 2008 at 3:55 pm

Does this mean Roseanne Barr becomes First Lady?

NotUrEvryDayWEzl July 7, 2008 at 3:57 pm

Speaking of which, is everyone ready for the absolutely AMAZING R[LOVE]UTION MARCH set for THIS SATURDAY, JULY 12!?!?!?

NotUrEvryDayWEzl July 7, 2008 at 3:58 pm

[re=30603]choinski[/re]: OMGZ, it’s the perfect way to catch teh bitters!

Canuckledragger July 7, 2008 at 3:59 pm

[re=30603]choinski[/re]: It would…. if she were a woman.

Jobbotch July 7, 2008 at 4:00 pm

[re=30593]Advocatus_Diaboli[/re]: The weirdest thing about Libertarians is that they don’t let the presidential nominee pick the VP at all. They hold a separate convention vote!

Truculent July 7, 2008 at 4:48 pm

People in Georgia can’t stand this asshole, even the ones living in the trailer parks and the front seats of their trucks. Jesse ventura would be elected president before him. Bob, give it up and go back to running the Cherokee County chapter of the Klan.

TGY July 7, 2008 at 4:50 pm

Wait, isn’t ‘Zogby’ a synonym for ‘hopelessly fucked-up’? I’m pretty sure.

choinski July 7, 2008 at 4:57 pm

[re=30612]Canuckledragger[/re]: That didn’t stop Mamie Eisenhower.

Hooray For Anything July 7, 2008 at 5:30 pm

You know, when Bob Barr was one of the Republicans screaming impeachment for Bill’s proclivity for getting blow jobs from interns, I hated the dude and his icky mustache. Now, I say rock on, dude, rock on.

alwaysright July 7, 2008 at 5:56 pm

I’m sending my campaign contributions to Ralphie.
Go, Ralphie, go!

TGY July 7, 2008 at 6:21 pm

[re=30576]cal[/re]: Funny thing is, we’ve still got the old Nader hanging around. Maybe they can hold a debate to see who can out-Nader the other? I dub thee “The Nader that Is” and “The Nader that Was”.

JerseyTrash July 7, 2008 at 6:57 pm

Oh no no no! God DAMN John McCain!

Lascauxcaveman July 7, 2008 at 7:21 pm

[re=30679]TGY[/re]: No silly, ‘zogby’ is Latvian for +/- 35%.

loquaciousmusic July 7, 2008 at 7:48 pm

[re=30603]choinski[/re]: I haven’t laughed out loud like that since…well, since TonyTheTiger came back as “AmericanDreamer.”

valobama July 7, 2008 at 7:59 pm

[re=30595]loudmouthredhead[/re]: that was funny

Who is Bob Barr again?

Gormogon July 8, 2008 at 11:26 am

[re=30734]Hooray For Anything[/re]: Barr actually wanted to impeach Clinton for taking bribes from the Chinese Communists, but the blow-job perjury thing was the only matter that could get majority support.
