Ex-Congressman Explores Presidential Bid

Tagged:  •    •    •    •  

"Former Republican Rep. Bob Barr said Saturday he has formed a presidential exploratory committee and may seek the Libertarian party nomination.

"America today faces a grave moral and leadership crisis, and those of us who care about our country's future can no longer sit on the sidelines and remain neutral," Barr told an audience at the Heartland Libertarian Conference in Kansas City, Mo.

The former Georgia congressman left the GOP in 2006 over what he called bloated spending and civil liberties intrusions by the Bush administration.

Barr, 59, became a darling of conservatives in the 1990s for his persistent attacks on President Clinton. He was among the first to press for impeaching Clinton and helped manage House Republicans' impeachment case before the Senate."

N'hood, just wanted to say it's too bad that nobody responded to your post about Barr (even with 22 reads as I'm typing this). Perhaps the liberals, moderates and conservatives who go to this site all agree that Bob Barr is truly a nutjob. But, hey, wait a minute! If all of us agree on Barr, maybe Barr is the candidate who can bring us all together, leftists, centrists and nazis, even the cultists! Maybe Mr. Barr does offer us a new Morning in America!
