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.
Zogby Poll: Building Mo-bama! Democrat Leads McCain in Electoral College Tally, 273-160 [Zogby International]
Come on, Bob! Get out on the mega-church circuit and convince them all that McCain is a big old heathen!
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).
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!
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.
Quick word association.
Q: Bob Barr?
A: President Obama.
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…
But wait! Nader’s currently losing the Green primaries to… Cynthia “Punch a Cop” McKinney!
Hey didn’t Bear-Bear have a 12% lead a little while ago? I’m scared…hold me…
if only Barr picked Paul as his running mate; god, the snark would write itself.
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.
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
Guppy06: No. Freakin’. Way. You can’t make that one up.
If Zogby says Obama’s up by 6%, that probably means McCain’s really up by like 50% or so.
Guppy06: 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.
Does this mean Roseanne Barr becomes First Lady?
Speaking of which, is everyone ready for the absolutely AMAZING R[LOVE]UTION MARCH set for THIS SATURDAY, JULY 12!?!?!?
choinski: OMGZ, it’s the perfect way to catch teh bitters!
choinski: It would…. if she were a woman.
Advocatus_Diaboli: 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!
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.
Wait, isn’t ‘Zogby’ a synonym for ‘hopelessly fucked-up’? I’m pretty sure.
Canuckledragger: That didn’t stop Mamie Eisenhower.
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.
I’m sending my campaign contributions to Ralphie.
Go, Ralphie, go!
cal: 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”.
Oh no no no! God DAMN John McCain!
TGY: No silly, ‘zogby’ is Latvian for +/- 35%.
choinski: I haven’t laughed out loud like that since…well, since TonyTheTiger came back as “AmericanDreamer.”
loudmouthredhead: that was funny

Q: Bob Barr?
A: The Little Elephant.
it’s actually spelled “hyperbarrack“

Who is Bob Barr again?
Hooray For Anything: 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.
