Bob Barr: McCain has lost his way through support of wireless wiretapping
Edited on Sun Jun-29-08 04:00 PM by Napoleon Bonaparte
Asked whether his presidential bid might cost McCain needed votes in the fall, Barr said that McCain has lost his way, in particular through his support of the Bush administration's warrantless wiretapping program, which Barr said "would provide the authority for the federal government to surveil American citizens in their own country."

"This is a fundamental issue that goes to the very nature and power of our government, but nobody's really talking about it," Barr said.


It's good to see someone undermining McCain's chances. He's good reason why Obama is competitive in Virginia, and might win it, as well as other swing states.

Keep it up, bobby.

4. He's very rarely in the news. I don't know
Eigther the media hasn't been interested in covering him, or he's a quite politician. I think it's the first reason.
