Bob Barr for President.
Now that Ron Paul has stepped down to focus on his freedom campaign, I’m switching my presidential candidate of choice to Bob Barr of the Libertarian Party. While I’m disappointed (although not really surprised) that Ron Paul didn’t capture more of America’s support, I am happy to be back in the Libertarian party after my brief six-month hiatus to vote for Paul in the Republican primaries.
Frankly, even though Paul ran as a Republican, I felt kind of dirty registering for the GOP. Mostly because the party is a despicable group clamoring for the titles of “Chief Gay Basher” and “Jesus’ Best Pal” and “Dr. James Dobson’s Bitch”. The libertarian party’s “anything goes” attitude, is much more in line with my belief that people should govern themselves and live their lives according to their own beliefs (so long, of course, as their beliefs don’t infringe on others’ rights).
Anyway, if you’re even slightly open-minded, I encourage you to take 4 minutes and read Bob Barr’s stance on the predominate issues our country will be facing over these next four years. I think you’ll be surprised at how much sense he makes.
