MODERATOR'S NOTE: The spin doctors never cease to amaze me with their creativity. Apparently, Bob Barr has now "sacrificed himself for the greater good" in order to protect Ron Paul from being embarrassed by his own supporters.
Where do you guys get this stuff? Is there a "Bullshit Handbook" that I can purchase on Amazon.com? ---Sasan ----------------------------------------------- I heard that a faction of Paul supporters was looking to embarrass Bob Barr. Whether this meant booing him or something more, I don't know. Since this would have embarrassed Ron Paul as well, Bob Barr may have essentially sacrificed himself for the greater good. These same people did in fact try to disrupt Bob Barr's press conference. Those who feel their self-righteousness absolves them of any need for courtesy or decency are of negative value to any political campaign.
