How Many of You Have Ever Had Drinks With The Guy You Voted For For President?

I just did.

Bob Barr was at Blue Monkey tonight. I went over and sat at his table for a little while. He seemed like a solid dude but the cronies he was with, who probably organized whatever event he was in town for, were douches.

That is all.

Two B's or one?

I like Bob Barr. He's a great constitutionalist. Although, I wish he would stop hanging with some of the people he hangs with like Cynthia McKinney.

Did you ask him what he thought about The ONE suspending any Judicial Dept. defense of the Defense of Marriage Act that he authored?

I would have liked to have gotten his reaction.

I had a short sit down with W the first time he ran. Visited a place I was working and I helped with an online report on his visit.

I remember thinking "Holy shit. If THIS guy can be president anybody can. I have truly sold myself short" I was completely underwhelmed. He was a doof.

Still voted for him. Al gore? Please.

That about sums it up. Before the most recent election when people asked I told them I was voting for McCain, but I wasn't happy about it.

I knew we were in trouble this last election......I still can't believe the best candidates that were offered up was Barry, McCain and Barr.

I've hated the "lesser of 2 evils" choices we've had since 88. Only Perot offered up something different.

His firm recently moved around the corner, but his office was downstairs from mine, so I've shared an elevator with him numerous times. Not a tall guy. (Yeah, I'm that cool).

The larger question is why was he hanging out at someplace I use to go to pick up the nightly slam hound?

Obama and I talked politics over a few Pabst at Bottletree one time.

They're all doofs. That's the point.

No one wants to take the risk of Pinocchio actually becoming a real boy.

Drank with Bill Clinton.

Hell of a guy to hang out with.

Couldn't vote for him.

I actually have been to the "Blue Monkey" in Birmingham before and while Bob Barr and I have great taste in eye-wear...I'm not that rotund...or limp-wristed...or politically hypocritical.

President Reagan came to our Nuke site and ate in our mess hall. I was a couple of tables over from him. Freakin FBI were everywhere. He spoke a few words about us-country and so on. I never got to shake his hand-but you could tell he believed in what he was doing. He walked like a cocky motherfucker.
