You're absolutely right. Bob Barr used to be one of my favorite congress critters, but since he lost to Linder, he is just steamed at the Republican party who backed his opponent. Had he run in the other district instead of moving to Linder's he would have no doubt kept a seat, but he chose to go head to head with the party. He took them on and got beat and is looking for revenge.
Bob Barr was goofy before he lost to Linder.He earned name recognition by getting a money laundering conviction against Congressman Swindal while withholding evidence from the defense.In congress he was all about National TV face time. His idea of constituent services was to show up at press conferences and claim credit for Gingrich and Isacsons work.
He belongs with the Libertarian nuts.Their latest great political idea in Ga. is to call the Fair Tax a sham.
