Is this by the same Bob Barr that is now running for Congress again after having left there because of being outpaced in a newly redrawn district that included John Linder?
He was a three-term Congressman taking Buddy Darden’s seat in the 1994 era; he was a US Attorney but fired by Bill Clinton who fired all of them when he was elected (wonder why)....
I’ve seen Adventure Outdoors in Smyrna, GA hold fundraisers for him more than once. I remember him as largely conservative, but the very big question I have about him, one that I asked the owners of Adventure Outdoors more than once with no reply, is what are his reasons for going to work for the American Civil Liberties Union as a lawyer after he was essentially forced out of Congress.
That bothers me much more than just a little.
The practice of firing most of the US Attorneys upon (first) inauguration isn't unusual. Reagan did so, Bush did so, etc.
Bob Barr sort of resembles (as in how he acts, not how he looks) Larry Klayman, to me. Opportunist looking out mostly for himself. I have to confess, I never followed Barr closely, and my impression could be off base.
