BobBarr, the earstwhile elephant.To the reader who asked what I thought about Bob Barr, Thanks-a-lot! You took away my last hope. I am now so fucking mad, my fingers won’t stay on the goddam keys. I’ve been researching Bob Barr.
For those of you coming from the right, (I see you, my one and lonely) Bob Barr used to be a Republican. Never heard of him? You’ll hear less and less because he’s the Libertarian candidate for president, and the media doesn’t love Libertarians. They have a little more gumption than the run-of-the-mill citizens who want something or someone to take care of them.
Libertarians believe in a thing they call Personal Responsibility. It means you’re responsible for yourself. And if you want to help the poor guy down the block, it’s your want, and therefore your responsibility. Don’t go whining to Fedgov about it. Do it yourself!
Babar the Elephant went to France and brought civilization back to his home town, where he became, if we’re being honest, a dictator. BobBarr went from the Democratic party to the Republican Party, where he too, saw the light. He, too, became a top-notch dictator.
Are you ready? Get this.
BobBarr is the man responsible for defeating Medical Marijuana in D.C. BobBarr not only blocked its implementation... still listening? He wouldn’t let the vote be tallied. It turned out to be 2 to 1 in favor. That’s not enough for you? You don’t like medical marijuana laws because you think that marijuana should be legal for everyone, not just the sick and dying? How does this grab you? He made sure the bill prohibited any future laws that would decrease the penalty for marijuana. Do you hear that people? The man is a monster.
And he is not a libertarian. Not by any stretch; libertarians believe in Freedom with a capital F. What is he then? Nothing but a political opportunist. His old venue dried up. He lost his job. He needs a new one. You know his type. In the seventies, he would have cut off two feet of hair for a job interview. No personal integrity whatsoever.
You tell me if this sounds like a man with principles:
He was for the Defense of Marriage act. No marriage for queers. He’s now against it. Queers deserve their civil liberties just like the rest of us. A libertarian stand, or it would be, if they thought marriage was the government’s business.
He was for the
He publicly regrets voting for the Patriot Act.
Anything else you want to change your mind about, BobBarr? What when you’re president and toadying up to, say, the Prince of Persia, Ach!MyDinnerJacket? Babar made his people wear Western Dress. Will you put our women in burkas?
Speaking of which, if you want to know who the Manchurian candidate is, it’s not the navy-pilot prisoner-of-war, it’s not the polyglot son-of-a-Muslim; BobBarr graduated from High School in Teheran. That, ladies and gentlemen, is the capital of
He’s trying to run, as fast as he can, away from the Barr (drug) Amendment. If he doesn’t watch out, he’ll crash right into John, sprinting from McCain-Feingold.
And to top it all off, this anti-abortionist was complicit in his wife’s getting an abortion. Either he’s pussy-whipped or a fraud. These guys are all the same. The rules are good enough for the rest of us, but not for them.
This man who is teaching a community college course in privacy rights led the fight to impeach Bill Clinton.
But perhaps he is a moral man. Perhaps, perhaps. Perhaps a lot of us are. Only he’s on his third wife, with whom he cheated on his second. And he seems to be a fun guy. Though I didn’t see it with my own eyes, there’s supposedly a picture of him licking whipped cream off a pair of titties. To raise money for leukemia, he explained. Any of you men out there suddenly feeling charitable? And I hear he appeared in the movie ‘“Borat”, eating cheese that Borat said was made from his wife’s breast milk. The man’s into the source. Udderly.
So the Democrats are being screwed by Obama, who’s turning cartwheels to get away from all the things he said to please them. The Republicans can find no solace in McCain, and the real libertarians have a candidate they can thoroughly despise. It’s the same all around. We’re in it together,
Anybody out there like to run for President? ANYBODY? Please.
