“I don’t know if Bob Barr will win the Libertarian Party nomination for President. And, if he does, I don’t know if this will be good for the libertarian movement — whatever that is. But assuming an Obama-McCain contest in November, a vote for Barr will: a) likely rally more disgruntled conservatives who can’t stand McCain and don’t want Obama either. Barr will give them a candidate closer to their values. McCain is Public Enemy #1, the world’s greatest threat to peace — and therefore to liberty and prosperity. He must be defeated. b) send a message to Obama that his program is unacceptable. The more politically weak Obama enters the White House, the less government can grow under him.” (05/13/08)
