Barr shouldn't have run against a Republican incumbent in the primaries when he could have run unopposed in another district. He also went down several notches when he took his job at the ACLU.
Why? He is just about as effective now as he was then.
The ACLU could use some conservatives!
You must be in a different universe. I thought he was one of the BEST House Managers. If you're from his district, then I can't discuss.
I'll buy his book.
Ouch!
Like Bill Clinton, Bob Barr needs to get off the stage.
But, like Willie Mays who went to the Mets after a great career at the Giants, Barr is still under the illusion that he is indispensable to the country.
The specter of an American President selling out the Country and then serving hard time was just too rough for Congress. Unfortunately, the Senate couldn't even bring itself to do anything about the perjury!
P.S. Thanks to Comrad Klinton, Chinese ICBMs are much more reliable and much more accurate, and no American is safe.
Absolutely! Bob was supporting Free Republic from the very beginning. I'd be willing to bet we made the book.
OK - clue me in. Conservatives always bitch about Republicans in Congress NOT speaking out, not fighting back the Democrats. We get one who does, and Freepers put him down. Tell me what I'm missing!
Clintons life is quicksand.
The more he tries to get out of it, the further is sucks him down to his own demise.
Barr joined the ACLU, an absolutely criminal organization. Dick Armey took their filthy lucre as well.
What kind of conservative works with the NAMBLA-loving ACLU?
Barr was a bomb-thrower. Even his fellow Republicans in Congress didn't take him seriously.
No politician is indispensable but we need an entire House of Reps full of conservative Bob Barr's that are pit-bulls mercilessly going after their prey.
He lost the case. He lost his seat. And now he just lost his case to Clinton. You may like his politics, but one needs to actually be effective to get me excited.
Only if yoiu want the GOP to shrink to nothing.
I'll take Chris Cox over Bob Barr any day.
Barr is Bob Dornan with a law degree.
You're not missing anything....Sinkspur comes here to argue, period. And he doesn't do it particularly well. In fact, he doesn't do it well at all.
Sorry, but Barr has been speaking out against the Patriot Act. He's just a publicity seeker now......IMHO.
Bob Barr is one of the very few politicians who took his oath of office seriously. When the party grabbed their ankles on the vote to convict Clinton, for their own greedy, self-serving reasons, Bob Barr stuck with doing the right thing for the country. Hence he is now belittled and maligned by some. That says more about the maligners than the maligned. In my opinion.
