Congress
Running as a Republican, Barr defeated six-term Representative Buddy Darden in 1994, and would go on to be re-elected three times. While in the House, he served as a senior member of the Judiciary Committee. Though Barr had a strongly conservative voting record, he was also harshly critical of Bush Administration policies after the 9/11 attacks, particularly regarding the Patriot Act. He eventually lost his seat in the 2002 elections, which may have been a result of Georgia Democrats reorganizing the state's districts in their favor.Quotes
"If the Republican Party hasn't gotten its message already, I don't think it will. The message is: Y'all have no vision, no message. And that's why we're running this campaign." - Bob BarrAtlantic Journal Constitution: Libertarian Barr wants to send signal to GOP-
