br> -- Hugh Greentree br> Columbus, Ohio /p> p> Those "conservatives" thinking of taking out their petty, yes, petty, frustration at the thought of voting for their party's nominee, Mr. McCain, and instead voting for the libertarian alternative, Mr. Barr (aka Ross Perot), might take a moment to read Thomas Sowell's most current column regarding the difference between Mr. McCain and the nut Obama. Get your heads screwed on right and see things for what they are...conservatives are the only people who think voting is a game. Democrats and liberals do not. If you want four years of total disaster and the reversing of the progress brought about by Reagan and those Republicans that came after, then please, indulge yourself with voting for Barr. But if you live in the real world you'll shut your complaining, whiny mouth and do the right thing. Support and vote...for McCain. br> -- Steve Heafey br> Alamo, California /p> p> Senator McCain's namesake, Robert, is right on about Bob Barr. The former U.S. Attorney for Northern Georgia, four-term Congressman and Impeachment Manager against Bill Clinton has engaged Russ Varney, a veteran of third party campaigns, who says he will raise forty million dollars. That is enough to put out a message that will draw disgruntled Conservatives' protest votes against McCain and Ron Paul followers' votes. As Barr suggests, the winner of the election in November could garner only a plurality rather than a majority of the vote in a three way contest. McCain's vote, undercut by Barr and Obama's vote, undermined by whites and Hispanics who feel threatened, could make the three-way race difficult to predict. The race for the presidency could hinge on which candidate, Obama or McCain, loses the most votes to protest and indifference. br> -- Howard Lohmuller br> Seabrook, Texas /p>

If Bob Barr gets his way, the only people laughing in November will be Democrats who will have taken control of the White House, Congress, and ultimately the Supreme Court. What real conservative would want that?
