WTF was he doing in Tehran?

Bar Barr is coming! Bob Barr is coming!

Bar Barr Binks?

Barr

I may vote for him. I'm impressed by his work with the ACLU (fellow card carrying member here ).

[Lt_Apple]

While I would NEVER vote for him or any Liberterian (unless solely running against someone openly advocating some sort of Tyrany), I give him kudos for this:

He especially opposes the "unitary theory of the presidency," which he says is: Where the Constitution gives the president power (e.g., national security), no other branch of government has any constitutional authority to limit it.

I agree with Barr that this is a key issue for this country, specially after having seen a president so hell bent on inflating the office of the executive, and it is a shame he seems the only candidate for president talking about this issue.

Calling for less emissions = green moron... only in certain political spheres in America I guess.

Bob Barker I'd so vote for him

Neither of course.

Well, then I guess we could make power plants pay for ALL of the negative externalities they cause.

Bob Barr is that extreme right-wing nutjob from California who used to be a Congressman, right?

Well, the transportation section would be subject to higher CAFE standards (I would hope). Try to tackle the problems from other ends.

I wouldn't necessarily have to estimate the externalities, just make is easier to sue companies that release emissions for things like aggravating asthma or preventing people from enjoying parks and things like that.

Or we could continue our practice of ignoring the externalities and having our insurance rates increase because of increased medical costs due to emissions.

By going the hybrid route most likely. You realize of course costs of ownership of hybrids far outstrips that of conventional gas once one consideres initial capital costs and outrageous cost of maintenance. Course the verdict isn't in yet we need to understand the true reliability and maintenance required on hybrids.

Ok with the second definitely not the first. By the by CO2 does not cause in anyway asthma. Good try though. If you wanna go after smog (CO emissions and particulates) that is a solvable problem.

Georgia. I stand corrected.

Here's what Wikipedia has to say about him.

I'll bet you're thinking of "B-1" Bob Dornan, from Orange County -- up there with Idaho's late, unlamented Helen Chenowyth as one of the House's true loons. IIRC, he went down to defeat in the 90s -- losing to a Hispanic woman, Loretta Sanchez, which threw a truckload of salt into the wound.

But now you've made me wonder what happened to Bob Dornan the Poly poster.
