Bob Barr

Bob Barr, a former Republican U.S. Congressman, was made the Libertarian Party's 2008 presidential candidate at their 2008 national convention in Denver, Colorado in late May.

There seem to be some questions about his position on global warming. He recently wrote: "the science of climate change remains highly complex" and went on to maintain that "There has been no warming over the last decade and scientists disagree over how much warming is likely in the future."[1]

Bob Barr voted to pass the USA Patriot Act and the Defense of Marriage Act, so his libertarianism is in some question to begin with. He did profusely apologize for voting for those two laws when he sought the Libertarian Party nomination, and promised to work to repeal them. Too bad he couldn't find the energy to oppose them when it counted.
