The Second Coming of Ross Perot
Or is it possibly the second coming of Pat Robertson?
Don't forget, Pat showed his true colors this election cycle, by backing Giuliani. Hopefully Conservatives will see through the instant replay of 1992, before it’s too late.
What am I talking about?
I’m talking about Bob Barr, who is supposedly the Great White Hope of the far Right Conservatives. Ironically, my research into him took MUCH less time than my research of McCain. It seems that he only votes on a few issues here and there, leaving the majority of issues up to the old school people. Kennedy is an old school Senator. There are many Kennedys in Congress with other names.
Now, fellow Conservatives looking for a 3rd Party miracle pulled out of the rear of your new “Great White Hope”, check this out:
With all of Barr’s 2 ½ tallied votes, he rates 80% on fiscal Conservative issues. Okay- 2 ½ is a slight exaggeration, but you get my point. Do you know where McCain rates after multitudes of votes? You got it- 80% on all issues. There goes Barr’s new title as the Great White Conservative hope. I admit, he has never lost a point on social issues, but he has also rarely voted on them.
Does anybody want to know why the rebirth of Perot/ Robertson rates so low?
He wants to pull our troops from Iraq. Yes, on the issue of war, he is another Ron Paul. He is a separatist nut-job. He basically doesn’t care that 9/11 has brought the war to our soil. He doesn’t care about the threats to our country that are brewing abroad. He doesn’t care how many of our young men and women have died for the cause of peace. He wants us to pull out and stay out of it. All of that with so few votes in his docket that we have no idea where he truly stands, except that he rarely bothers to stand up and vote. With all of the recent abortion legislation, his last vote on the issue was in 2001. That makes me sick! While I admit, I haven’t researched his private life, to see if maybe he has been ill and out of commission for the last 7 years with all of the missed pro-life votes, I have researched his voting record (as short as it is). That voting record shows voting, although minimal, during those 7 years.
Ask yourself folks; is that what we need in a president?
Not that he has a miniscule chance of obtaining the oval office, but he can certainly get in the way of a McCain victory over whatever evil-doer wins the Democratic nomination.
Let me see, do I want a war hero or a cut-n-run kid in the oval office when we are at war?
For those who haven’t read my prior articles related to 3rd party politics:
Why do I say that he is the rebirth of Ross or Pat?
Because: With nearly no political voting history to hold him accountable, he is waging a war of dissension on the GOP. He is splitting the GOP vote, just as Robertson/ Perot did for George H. W. Bush. It has ALWAYS been unsuccessful throughout history to attempt this, that is, if you are a Republican. When Republicans do this throughout history, it ALWAYS lands the Democrats in the oval office. This time, the Democrats are more evil than ever in history.
This leads me to ask:
Who is funding the Barr for President Campaign?
Maybe it’s the DNC through a modicum of dummy names?
Wake up and get on the straight-talk express or you’ll cause our nation a great big mess.
