This is a great article on our Presidential candidate Bob Barr from Politico . Click here to read the article by Politico’s Terry Michael.
“Like a number of small-government Republicans who came to Washington in the Republican Revolution of 1994, Barr’s separation from the corrupting influences of K Street power led him to rediscover just how much liberty was being sucked out of our personal as well as economic lives in these — to use the well-earned clich — 10 square miles, surrounded by reality, known as Washington, D.C.
He may be proof that political wisdom can grow when not polluted by the mindless partisanship and seductive careerism
that contaminates Capitol Hill.
An anti-drug warrior in the Reagan Department of Justice as well as in Congress, Barr now supports medical marijuana rights and questions neo-Prohibition. The author of the Defense of Marriage Act while in the House, he now opposes the federal constitutional amendment against gay marriage and advocates states’ rights on the issue. A supporter of the post-Sept. 11 Patriot Act, Barr now publicly regrets that vote.”
The article ends with, “Go, Bob, go!”
