Is this election theme selfishness? "What's it for me?"

Why are teacher's unions for Obama?

Why are Black Americans for Obama?

Why are people fed-up with government for Bob Barr?

Why are people fed-up with government fo Ron Paul?

Why are hunters for McCain?

Why are Conservatives for McCain?

This is possibly the most absurd statement that I've seen this year. Bob Barr is a hypocrite who helped create the vast majority of the problems that he is bitching about today. He was essentially kicked out of congress so he is mad at all of his old buddies. His chosen method of getting back at them is to run as the Libertarian candidate, like he was EVER a libertarian, so that he can take votes away from the Reps. The man is just another career politician.

Yeah, there are a LOT of people in the LP royally pissed off that former drug-warrior Barr got the nod. Many suspect it's an attempt to co-op and neutralize the party as an effective spoiler by the GOP.
