It's not Bob Barr.
He's taking bad advice.
Usually Candidates don't listen to Management.
But, since Bob Barr is no greenhorn Candidate,
he knows enough to BE the Candidate and to
let Management Manage, and to follow their
marching orders.
The fault we have with Bob is taking bad advice.
Shane and Russ are not doing a good job, if
you ask me.
It's quite simple and there is no conspiracy here.
Although the conspiracies are all a lot more
interesting and could rally the troops better...

Hey everybody I'm not sure whats going on here but this does not look good, I
was going to enter in a parade this weekend on behalf of Barr but I think I'm
going to pull out. I can't make this kind of effort for someone that is not
making an effort himself to truly take Liberty serious, I think he was afraid
he would offend his GOP buddies. I'm pissed, and not sure what to do.
Barr says he shows 'leadership' in dissing Ron Paul
September 10th, 2008 · 2 Comments
Bob Barr invited Ron Paul to be his vice-presidential candidate, replacing
pro-Afghanistan surger Wayne Allyn Root, and when Paul said no, Barr decided to
ditch the press event he originally agreed to attend. His campaign is spinning
this as "leadership to unify the liberty movement."
Unwilling to appear on stage with fellow third-party aspirants Ralph Nader,
Cynthia McKinney, and Chuck Baldwin, Barr backed out of Ron Paul's Campaign for
Liberty event at the last minute, leaving the LP's Austin Peterson in the
lurch. He then staged his own solo press conference, where he was largely
denounced by supporters of Paul, including Adam Kokesh, an Iraq War veteran
whom Russ Verney attempted to silence.
Barr was asked whether he was a GOP agent attempting to destroy the LP. He
denied it.

>From Don Rasmussen, Events Coordinator for the Campaign for Liberty:
I just sat in stunned silence as Bob Barr blatantly lied to the national press
corp (or the half dozen members that bothered to show up). He stated that he
had not committed to attend this press conference. This is patently false. He
was fully committed to attend until 30 minutes before when Russ Varney called
Jesse Benton and said that Barr was out. This man has not one ounce of
integrity in his body.
Adam Kokesh stood up during the press conference, denounced Barr and withdrew
his support. Several others in the room quickly followed. Great job Adam!
I asked Barr Communications Director Shane Corey after the event why they
pulled this stunt and was told to go f*** myself.
