As sharp as Bob Barr was during Clinton Impeachment, that's how twisted he is in his logic against President Bush.
If he can't understand that the economic bubble burst six months before GWB came into office, if Bob Barr can't see the $200 billion in annual capital gains tax (federal) revenues that were lost due to the halving of the NASDAQ bubble burst - (check it out - a 47 percent decline from its high) in the NASDAQ prior to Bush even taking office, if Bob Barr can't see the priority to upgrade our military after the utter decimation (19 Divisions to 11 divisions) under Clinton, if Bob Barr can't see the negative impact of the economy due to the corporate crimes which Clinton and Rob Rubin literally allowed to take place -- then BOB BARR IS NOT CREDIBLE.
I don't care if he has a 100 percent rating from the NRA, if he is ProLife, if he is a fiscal whatever. He is not playing with a full deck if he is blaming these things on President Bush. End of story.
April 2002, Georgia Republicans Bob Barr and John Linder are also facing each other. Barr, a senior member of the House Judiciary Committee, recently announced grants for his district, including $120,000 to prosecute crimes in Douglas County, $300,000 for more police officers at Georgia Perimeter College, and $625,000 to hire and train police officers in Forsyth County. He also requested $459,000 to improve a local airport, $30 million to improve State Road 316, $500,000 to study possible improvements for State Highway 78, and $13.5 million for another airport. reference here
They are spoilers. At one time they had power and got used to the power, this is a way to get their sense of power back, forget whether it's a good thing for the country or not, it sure is good for their ego!
