More quotes by Bob Barr
It is not just software glitches and corrupted memory cards that should be on the minds of election officials. Hackers pose another very real problem whereby an election could be tilted towards a favored candidate.
Bob Barr
People come up to me and tell me they support me because I never left my principles.
Bob Barr
Accepting federal funding undermines state sovereignty as states become beholden to federal requirements in order to keep the money flowing.
Bob Barr
It is high time for some congressional oversight backbone.
Bob Barr
I'm pro-life but I believe that the federal government ought to stay out of it. That's a decision that the people of each state ought to make for themselves.

The move to tax Internet sales, clothed as a 'fairness' issue, is the typical 'wolf-in-sheep's-clothing' ploy so often used by governments unwilling to cut expenditures to match revenues. It matters not whether its proponents have a 'D' or an 'R' after their name. It is a tax increase in either case.
Bob Barr
Iran is not a make-believe country. It is a real country populated by some 75 million people - real people including, I daresay, a majority who are philosophically and by education inclined toward the modern, secular world, and particularly American values.
Bob Barr
Far too many people have been swept into the post-9/11 system of fear that is the basis of all public policy these days.

I supported the Iraq resolution, but that was not an approval of war in Iraq and certainly was not approval for an occupation of Iraq.
Bob Barr
It is difficult, if not impossible, to argue that laws written in the 1970s are adequate for today's intelligence challenges.
Bob Barr
The goal in Afghanistan is to find the terrorists and take them out.
Bob Barr
Widespread use of online voting will create the potential for abuse that will make the problems inherent in e-voting pale in comparison.

The Libertarian Party is a very mainstream party. It's a mainstream philosophy. It's of returning power from Washington to parents, to schools, to businesses in their communities.
Bob Barr
Nobody is denying we should investigate and do what we can to prevent gun crime in our cities and towns. But, we should not scapegoat the American gun owner for complicated, cultural problems we are just beginning to understand.
Bob Barr
The 2011 riots in England, which left five dead and caused more than $300 million in property damage, were fueled by a generation of young Brits who grew up without ever hearing the word No.
Bob Barr
It's not a gun control problem it's a cultural control problem.

I sense that conservatives have largely already tuned out to the coming elections, after six years of burgeoning federal spending and inaction on key issues, such as immigration. The Republican Party has become the party of the government status quo, and conservatives see no reason to reward it with their votes.

Chicago is known for good steaks, expensive stores and beautiful architecture. Unfortunately, the Windy City also enjoys a reputation for corrupt politics, violent crime, and some of the strictest gun control laws anywhere in the country.

There is no legitimate use whatsoever for marijuana. This is not medicine. This is bogus witchcraft. It has no place in medicine, no place in pain relief.
Bob Barr
MoveOn loves government. It remains enamored of government spending as fuel for its liberal agenda and anything that threatens to close that spigot in any degree is perceived as a dire threat - worthy of Chicken-Little warnings that the sky is going to fall.
