Mr. Barr was just on FOX, and as always, he is an impressive and well-spoken public figure.
He condemned government spending, seemed to call himself a “true conservative,” and said that he would not seek votes that would otherwise go to McCain.
I am an outsider when it comes to the Libertarian party, but in my blinkered view, now that it has made the decision to jettison radical libertarianism and the non-aggression axiom, it can serve only one larger purpose this year: defeating the worst mainstream candidate, McCain, a madman who endangers the whole world. May Mr. Barr do so, and may he stress his anti-statist principles, though a neocon running mate is no help.
UPDATE I will post the Barr YouTube as soon as I get it. And note, since I have been asked, I joined the LP to help Ron Paul get the 1988 nomination, was elected (dread word) to its national committee, but left when the next national convention booed and ridiculed Murray Rothbard, which crystallized a lot of misgivings for me.
UPDATE Here is the FOX YouTube of Mr. Barr:
