Bob Barr, the congressman and House Manger who led the impeachment of Bill Clinton 10 years ago, has decided he will run for President as the Libertarian candidate, their convention is in two weeks. Barr is so far out on the lunatic fringe he lost his congressional seat not in the 2006 Democratic upset, but back in 2002, in a lunatic fringe district in the lunatic fringe state of Georgia no less!
Barr is best remembered as the strongest congressional voice for everything NRA. He is one of those lunatic fringe Republicans who are so intrinsically repulsive they can't get lobbying jobs (Bob Dornan is another) so they become radio talk show hosts whipping up the masses to evermore bigotry, intolerance, and gun fun.
This week George Wlll and Sean Hannity had a fit with their one time friend who they now call "spolier" saying he will help John McCain lose the election in the same way Ralph Nader helped lose it for Al Gore in 2000. Which they say could be even worse than what Nader did as so many conservatives are disillusioned with McCain who on occasion says reasonable things.
The point here is just a reminder to anyone still confused - even after watching Ron Paul ply his lunatic fringe poo for so many months - as to what a Libertarian is and what the Libertarian Party is about.
It is not about pot smoking old guys with ponytails, rather it's the hardest turn to right-wing lunacy in America. It is worse than communism, fascism, theocracy and anarchy all joined asunder. It is mostly about those who want to settle things with their personal arsenals rather than laws.
If it is not clear to anyone how I feel about Looneytarians, I have a special Libertarian page that will help explain it further. The Libertarians.
