Barr is just pissed he got beat in the GOP primary. Sour grapes does this to some people.

[Howlin]

Absolutely. He did something stupid and he's mad at US because we didn't follow him over the cliff.

Barr is just pissed he got beat in the GOP primary.

Who'd a thunk it. He and the rest of the House Managers get closelined by their own party in the Senate, but he doesn't get pissed off until this.

[chuckles]

I like Barr. I like mavericks. I think different people are interesting and keep the debate lively. But suicide doesn't help anyone. When it gets down to the chad, you gotta go with the one closest to your beliefs. They never agree with everything you do. I have certain "trigger" issues that will change my vote(abortion, gun rights,etc) but for the most part I have to choose between Karl Marx and anybody else. This is one of those cases. The only real "tick off" I have with Bush is imagration. But am I going to vote for Kerry to show my displeasure with that? Would Bush be hurt by my fit throwing and change what has been the US policy for decades? HELL NO!!

There are much bigger fish at steak here, such as survival of the spiecies from the "religion of peace". As the mushroom cloud rises from Atlanta, I guess Bob Barr could smirk and say "At least we defeated the Homeland security bimbo's."

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.
