Source: http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/david-barton
After a week of speculation amid effort to recruit David Barton to launch a primary challenge in Texas against Senator John Cornyn, Barton appeared on Glenn Beck's radio program today to announce his decision. After telling Beck that he had done polling and consulted with trusted advisers, Barton announced even though he believes that it would be a winnable race, he has concluded that "the time is just not right for me."

Looks like Barton chickened out, seeing the election results from yesterday.

That would have been entertaining - and it could have turned a no-win race into something competitive.

Lust For Strife: The Citadel And Glenn Becks Independence Are Betting On Catastrophe
by Mark - January 15, 2013
The geniuses who form the brain trust of the far right are trampling all over each other as they scamper for high ground to avoid the Commie Tsunami they imagine is bearing down on them. The fear is palpable as these whimpering Apocalyptoids rush to save themselves from what they are certain is a world-ending crush of progressive tyranny being orchestrated by the evil forces of self-government known as democracy.
Since the extreme righteous-wing was unable to thwart American voters last November, returning Satans Lieutenant Obama to the formerly White House, they are now intent on demonstrating their patriotism by advocating acts of treason and aspiring to secession.
That is the theme embodied in the quixotic blueprints being drawn up for utopian conclaves by folks like Glenn Beck and the architects of The Citadel. These would-be nation-states peddle phony promises of security and liberty to rubes who are convinced that those principles are so fragile under our current Marxist, Muslim, Kenyan president that they are certain to disappear by lunchtime. And the panic produced thereby is a market opportunity for Armageddon profiteers.
Glenn Becks version of this Exodus is a city/theme park that he calls Independence, USA. That also happens to be the name of the city that his Mormon faith teaches will be the place that Jesus will choose when he returns to usher in the end of time. Beck doesnt have any plans for how he will raise the $2 billion he says the project will cost, but it will almost certainly come from the hides of his sheep...

Barton apologizes to BP
Even Tony Hayward of BP looks baffled by the over the top, fawning rhetoric of Barton. Joe retired from office to live in luxury.
