Re: VP Candidate Is Pro-RIAA, Anti-Privacy
As I, too, was a Ron Paul supporter, I thought I would take a look at Bob Barr's voting history to see if he aligned with my political beliefs.
It's very much like you said - in the past few years, he's had a great voting record(IMHO). But when you go back to 1998-2003 or so, he took a lot of questionable positions. Requiring prayer in school, voting YES on making appeals to the death penalty harder... I don't know, seems like he was (at least at one time) very much unlike Ron Paul.
I question why he's changed his opinions so drastically these past few years. Not that there's anything wrong with people changing their opinions, but some of his prior stances seem downright dangerous.
