Bob Barr, Born-Again Libertarian, Backsliding On Mass Immigration
By Marcus Epstein
Former congressman Bob Barr (R.-Georgia) announced last week that he would seek the Libertarian Party nomination for president. With Republican nominee-presumptive John McCain absolutely the last choice for most conservatives, and the "lesser-of-two-evils" argument wearing very thin after eight years of Bush betrayal, the 2008 election provides an excellent opportunity for a conservative third party candidate. The Constitution Party has already nominated Rev. Chuck Baldwin (a former VDARE.COM columnist!) But Barr could be the most high-profile right wing candidate since Pat Buchanan, and the most serious Libertarian Party nominee at least since Ron Paul in 1988. This, of course, is why the GOP mouthpieces at National Review have already begun attacking him.
