Who is Bob Barr? Just heard on Fox News he might be running as a 3rd party candidate (libertarian). I am posting this thread because I don't know anything about him and am wondering if anyone else does.
Thanks.
Where ya been? This guy’s a former congresscritter. He musta taken LSD as a kid because he’s been on a bad trip flashback for half a dozen years or so.
Former U.S. Rep from Georgia “Bob Barr”?
Not the brightest bulb on the tree.
“Where ya been?”
Had my head in the sand for too long.
He used to be a sane person.....well, kinda...........
He also did a fair bit of work for the ACLU after he left Congress.
“He was a Conservative turned Liberaltarian.”
Ahhhh, that is the information I am now getting as I do my research. I hate that “was a Conservative” thingie!
Someone who’s coming into the race far too late to win the nomination for LP.
Lol, I think we were ALL once sane.....
Former Republican Congressman leans Libertarian. Lost reelection in 2002 (i think) because of a new congressional district created.
He’s the first congressman to recommend impeaching Clinton, and he served on his impeachment trial. He showed the kind of integrity during the Clinton years that was quite rare. I suspect the Clinton machine knocked him out of office.
“Robert L. (Bob) Barr, Jr. (born November 5, 1948) is an attorney and a former member of the United States House of Representatives from Georgia. Barr represented Georgia’s 7th congressional district from 1995 to 2003. Barr is now a life member of the Libertarian Party serving on the National Committee. Prior to Barr’s work in the United States Congress, President Ronald Reagan appointed him to serve as the United States Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia. He served from 1986 until 1990. He sat on the Board of Directors of the National Rifle Association from 2001 to 2007. Barr achieved significant notoriety as one of the leaders of the impeachment of President Bill Clinton.”

“He showed the kind of integrity during the Clinton years that was quite rare.”
I guess they all enjoy repeating history....
“from Wikipedia”
Eek!
I thought I read he was against the “medical maryjane”. Is that what you’re talking about?
I think you are mistaken. Bob Barr was a Republican but has since been abandoned by his party. The man has a 98 LIFETIME ACU rating. He IS a conservative.
Holding my nose for the McCaniac presidency.
There's just something too creepy about this guy.
