Former GOP Rep. and Libertarian Party Presidential Nominee, Bob Barr, who seems to be imitating Ron Paul from his earlier days in a few ways, is apparently considering an attempt at returning to Congress.
He'd be challenging the 2010 Tea Party favorite, Tom Graves, as well as another candidate in the primary, Steve Tarwin.
"As a Republican, Barr was a fervent barn-burner – and helped lead the impeachment of President Bill Clinton. But after leaving Congress, he joined the Libertarian party, becoming its presidential nominee in 2008.
In the process, Barr campaigned against what he saw were excesses of the Patriot Act, and has argued for an end to the Defense of Marriage Act – which he once sponsored, and which allows states to ignore the marriages of gay couples permitted elsewhere." (Source)
So the question is, has Barr changed enough to be considered a true Liberty candidate?
