Great report. Nice photo.

Dubious tie.

Yeah. I says to myself, says I, there's a good-looking conservative in a bad-looking (liberal?) tie. Then to myself I say: nah, must stay loyal, must view the tie as modern and interesting. I stare at it hard and I try. I say: think modern, think interesting. My brain says: bad tie day.

Bob Barr is a hypocrite and does not deserve our respect or support.

Don't try to pretend to know, or dictate, who does and who does not deserve MY respect or support.

You've made your case several times. We've been lied to by every elected Republican, even the ones who were never divorced including Bush and Bush, now let it go before you really piss someone off.

But it really does match the outfit. It's just the lighting, I tell you. Okay, I wasn't wearing a tie, Nick Danger cropped it in to make me look mainstream. Thanks Nick.

If one chooses to look to man for perfection then one will always be disappointed. Tearing down a man is not a hard task. Putting oneself in the public arena with a willingness to stand on principle even in the face of past failings, now that is a person with courage and conviction. I would try to get to know this man personally before I run to the court of Larry Flint for lessons in morality.

Big ol' Georgia Ping!

Sorry, but I don't have his complete voting record in front of me. I know he is supported by the NRA, and he is a staunch 2nd Amendment advocate. As far as finding his vote on Brady, go to Thomas - Legislative Information on the Internet.

There was a debate on 750 WSB AM that featured Bob Barr and local talk show host, Neil Boortz. The debate was on whether marijuana should be legalized. Boortz, playing to emotions, talked mostly about using the drug as a pain killer; for medical reasons. In fact, that was his only point. He failed to look at the whole picture, the effects legalization would have to society. ie: Netherlands.

I didn't catch the beginning of the debate, but I had the feeling that it was held on a university campus, for the majority of the crowd was on Boortz's side. It made me think that there were a lot of pot smokers in the audience. However, I don't know for sure.

It's part of the corruption of the democrat party controlled Ga. State Legislature. They purposefully gerimandered the districts to favor democrats, while, at the same time, created a way to eliminate one of the most active conservatives from the U.S. House of Representatives.

However, whenever a district favors a Conservative candidate, whether it is a square, normal shape, of the same number of people, etc., it is said to be biased against minorities. You know the entire spill. Without the black vote, the democrat party would cease to exist among GA U.S. House Representatives.

Too late to look now- hoping for info off hand.
gotta crash, thanks!!!!!

[Nick Danger]

Hey, no problem.

[Skeet]

I'm just hoping that's ketchup and not blood.

[diotima]

Hey! Great pic Skeet!

[eddie willers]

I know nothing of what has gone on in Barr's personal life.
He, or his wife, could be complete assholes.
I do not know....

You and Larry Flynt, however, I have figured out.

Put your energies to something positive Rommel2. Life is too short.
