Libertarian Party candidate Bob Barr is doing very well in the latest Zogby poll Eric Dondero at Libertarian Republican informs us. The poll has Barr at 6% in Texas and Florida and a pretty impressive 10% in New Hampshire.
State: Texas
Summary:
McCain – 42%
Obama – 39%
Barr – 6%
Nader -2%
Someone else – 4%
Undecided – 7%Over 3,200 were surveyed in the poll, from June 11 – June 30.
Of course this also means Obama is only 3% back of McCain in Texas. So this poll may be an outlier, but hopefully future polls will continue to show the Libertarian candidate getting an historic amount of votes. The goal being to shift the Republicans to the libertarian side of the party.
So if libertarians vote for the Libertarian candidate, and as a result, shift the election to Obama. Do you think the Republicans are going to think, we should be more Libertarian, or move more towards the center where the majority of voters are?
Both the Republicans and Democrats have failed our nation and our people evidenced by a $9 trillion national debt largely owed to foreigners, $4 gas and $5 diesel, a dropping dollar, loose Federal Reserve policies, taxation and government regulations out of control, immigration out of control, no national energy policy (The Chinese can drill off our coast but we cannot???), and spineless politicians on both sides that cater to special interest groups, corporations and people with huge sums of money instead of to Americans.
The Founding Fathers would be ashamed to the state we have devolved to.
In my view, it is time to give a new Party a chance – The Libertarian Party. Vote Libertarian in November. I will be.
