Beating a Dead Horse, But…

September 11, 2008

Bob Barr’s campaign manager, Russ Verney, sure is funny: “Today our campaign is being criticized by a few people [my emphasis] for my decision to not attend a press conference sponsored by Ron Paul’s political action committee….” A few people, probably just those who are part of what he calls a “cult of personality” around Ron Paul.

How can this be topped for sheer stupidity?

As for attending vs. not attending, hasn’t Barr (who was recently booted from the ballot in West Virginia) encountered some of the same frustrations all third parties do, and like a decent man wouldn’t he want to join them in standing up against that kind of treatment? What am I missing?
