Bob Barr has become a puzzle. Why come out three weeks before an unbelievably tight election and throw sand in the president's face? He has to know that fighting the war and creating an entire new department for homeland security has caused the body of the deficit. Larry Kudlow knows it, Bob Barr must have heard rumors. This makes no sense.
It only makes sense to me if you are talking about a person who wants to be in the spotlight. Get press coverage for supporting the president? Not much. "throwing sand" at the president, now that's another thing. MSM eats it up. And so does everyone else.
$$$$$$$$. The guy is bought. The guy was not very employable and took the scraps which were offered.
By the way, Barr's suggestion that Bush's base is eroding is total BS, per every poll that I have seen. Every poll I have seen suggests Pubbies support Bush by 90%+, which is near unanimous. The "conservatives" who claim they are disillusioned with Bush to the point that they get a hard on by the prospect of his defeat, did not vote for him last time. They are either fringers or trolls in most cases.
I believe Bob Barr is still bitter toward Bush and the RNC for not favoring him over John Linder in the hotly contested 2002 GA-07. Barr was very dishonest when he moved into John Linder's House district and claimed the district for himself. However, the voters of the Atlanta suburban-based district told him to get lost. The 2002 GOP primary results showed what real cosnervatives think fo Bob Barr.
He's employed by the American Criminal Liberties Union. 'Nuff said...
