What exactly does Bob Barr have to offer ?

It was mentioned a couple of weeks ago on MSNBC's "Countdown."

But of course, if you can't find it, then it must not exist... 

quote:

Compare and contrast that to McCain's reaction to Stephen Colbert's "green screen challenge" where viewers were asked to come up with satirical uses for some video culled from the night Obama sewed up the primaries. McCain first looked into suing the Comedy Channel, and having those who participated in the challenge placed under surveilance. (This is the kind of America you want to live in?) When he realized that doing so would probably brand him as the "Hey you kids, get off my lawn!" candidate again... he dropped it.

Yup, Senator Obama is a man of the people. Not US people obviously since he believes in not doing anything until consulting with Europe and the rest of the world; wanting us to appreciate that our air conditioned, comfortably heated  homes and common ownership of personal transportation causes the rest of the world to be envious and resentful. But I understand that he really is running for president of the world. Apparently he sees the best and fastest way to achieve world equality is to lower the US standard versus what this country has been used to. I think if we elect him it will be an opportunity to see how that works out.

...the US is ranked 42nd in global life expectancy and 34th in terms of infants surviving to age one. The US infant mortality rate is on a par with that of Croatia, Cuba, Estonia and Poland. If the US could match top-ranked Sweden, about 20,000 more American babies a year would live to their first birthday.

The Democratic Party of today is not The Democratic Party of 1960 or The Democratic Party of my parents.
The Democratic Party of today has morphed from being the "Party of the Workingman" to being a party of leftists.
My father was a Boston Firefighter and my mother was a telephone operator, both in Unions.
If they were alive today they wouldn't even *recognise* the Democratic Party much less vote for any of them.
Barak Obama says he wants to "do something" about "Genocides in Africa."
I didn't realise that stopping "genocides" on foreign continents was part of the Democratic platform.
Also, he says he wants to give "amnesty" to illegal aliens.
Sure, that'll help the "working man" in this country pushing their wages down even further much less ignoring the fact that those people *snuck into our country* in the first place. Sure, go against the wishes of more than 90% of the American People on that issue and expect to win! lol
Where do the Democrats stand on getting us out of "NAFTA" after 13 years of dismal job losses? The "NAFTA" that was signed into law by Clinton, another Democrat.
When Democrats get into bed with big business like they have with "NAFTA" they're *certainly* not on the side of the *workingman* in this country!
And Obama said that he would continue "outsourcing" of "some" jobs!
Also, Obama wants to "double foreign aid!"
That'll certainly make all the people displaced by Katrina feel all warm and fuzzy I'm sure!
Barak Obama is not a Democrat he's a Leftist.
Just look at his voting record.
He's the most leftist senator in the whole senate.
Even more leftist than booze addled Ted Kennedy
The Democrats are making the same mistake they always make.
They pick the most *leftist* candidate they can find and when they lose it's, "waaaaaa, someone stole the election!"
You'd think they'd learn by now.
Obama couldn't carry many large states that Hillary took in the primaries but the "Press" say he and McCain are "neck and neck."
From what I see out here many people don't like either of the two candidates but there'll be many people gritting their teeth as they pull the lever for McCain.
(Just for the record, I won't be voting for either. I don't like Democrats or Republicans)
How did the Democratic Party arrive here? And where are they?
What do they even stand for anymore? Does anyone know the answer to that question?
It's funny, Hillary Clinton threw her "support" behind Obama the other week but we haven't seen her out campaigning for him have we?
I don't think Obama will even take Massachusetts, there's a hell of a lot of Hillary supporters up there and many of them simply won't vote for Obama.
I think that this election is going to be a "slaughter".
American voters are simply not "Leftists."
We care about this country, not "stopping genocides in Africa."
The Clintons had it right, "it's the economy stupid."
I don't know what the Democrats even stand for anymore.
They ceased being "The Workingman's Party" long, long ago.
Does anyone in here know what the Democrats "stand for" anymore?

Don't forget Cindy 'Script' McCain: junkies, the lot of them  .

I'm always fascinated by this idea that America is the only nation on earth with a decent standard of living.  Merc, are you actually claiming that the world envies the US for it's cars and central heating?

Perhaps coming from a more varied background as he does, Obama will be able to communicate better than the incumbent and even engender a little genuine warmth here in Europe, something which won't hurt the US at all.

Heeheehee!

The half-black son of a single mother is the elitest, while Cindy McCain says things like "In Arizona, the only way to get around is by small private plane."  McCain is worth 45 million dollars and was literally eating cake with Bush during Katrina, but Obama is the elitest?  Really? 

This is the sort of argument I should stay out of, because there is clearly no room for logic or reason here.

Merc might Obama have been referencing the fact that we as a nation are gluttons,that our  standard of living has consequences for the whole of humanity.Might he have meant that if America hopes to lead the effort against global warming we as a people might have to make some adjustments to our run away consumerism...is any of that possible..or is it necessary as you and others seem to do to take a snippet ,remove it from any context...point to it and say" AHA!! see I told you he's anti-American."..just my opinion

And McCain is okay with snippets of his being taken out of context?if so let's revisit his saying we will stay in Iraq for a hundred Years...nothing wrong with consumerism,but when talking about finite supplies of a resource, run away consumerism is a problem...global-warming is not religion it is science..but till that is accepted this conversation ,as it pertains to run away consumerism ,is pointless is it not...

let me ask you something do we have a duty to not pollute the atmosphere the rest of those citizens live with.Are is your point of view"whatever is good for America and damm the rest of the world"...I am curious....
