A Win For The Good Guys

[gridlore]

Ultra-Consevative House member Bob Barr (R-GA) has been defeated in his re-election bid.

Barr was one of the most conservative Congress-critters, and was one of the prime movers in the impeachment of President Clinton. Barr also was a darling of the Christian Right. He holds a special place in his black heart for gays & lesbians.

Doubtlessly, he will find a job with one of the groups trying to destroy our civil rights.

But at least he's out of Congress.

Woohoo. Barr is a creep of the first water.

(still giggling with happiness every time he sees that story) Yup, I posted that to my LJ, too. :) Thanks to the same redistricting that put Barr up against Rep. John Linder, Rep. Cynthia McKinney, another noted MORON from GA, has lost her place as well. :)

I've never been so proud of the voters from the Peach State. :)

FYI:

Here's a story from National Review Online about the twin defeats of Barr and McKinney:

Also on NRO's The Corner (a collaborative blog), NRO Executive Editor Kathryn Jean Lopez writes:

DID I MENTION? [Kathryn Jean Lopez]
It’s such a relief to know I won’t be seeing Bob Barr and his (R., Ga.)
anymore.

I had no opinion either way about Barr (heck, I really hadn't heard much of anything about him until his primary loss), but it was so nice to see McKinney go down in flames. And I find it amusing that Barr apparently grated with the conservatives at NRO, to the point that their executive editor seems glad he's gone.
