[Peace-discuss] We agree with Ron Paul: McKinney, Baldwin, Nader

[Walter Pituc]

What really disappoints me is that Bob Barr chose to not share the stage
with Paul, Nader, McKinney, and Baldwin. I wonder what the motivation for
that is.

A third party blog, Independent Political
Report<http://www.independentpoliticalreport.com/>has a lot to say
about Barr's no show at the combined press conference. I
believe Barr even staged a solo press conference?
